KUALA LUMPUR, May 19 — Sateerah Hassan has confirmed her resignation as deputy chief of the Women’s wing of Parti Keadilan Rakyat’s (PKR) Putrajaya division.

Putrajaya PKR Women chief Fasyarini Azahari said the party acknowledged Sateerah’s decision and respected her choice, according to a report published in Sinar 
She said the party appreciated Sateerah’s contributions, commitment and service throughout her time in the leadership line-up.

“Every effort and contribution made in strengthening the party’s work, especially involving women’s agendas and the local community, is greatly appreciated.


“In a mature and democratic political organisation, differences in opinion and changes in leadership are normal,” she said in a statement yesterday.

Previously, media reports said former PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli and former party vice-president Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad had officially submitted letters notifying Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul of their resignations as Members of Parliament.

According to the pair, the decision was made following their intention to explore a new political agenda, with plans to contest both seats again under the Parti Bersama Malaysia platform in the next general election.


Commenting further, Fasyarini stressed that the party would continue focusing on strengthening the organisation, safeguarding public welfare and pursuing its reform agenda for the well-being of the people.

“I am confident that the entire leadership and members of PKR Women Putrajaya will continue to move collectively, maturely and professionally.

“This is to ensure the party’s work continues smoothly and remains strong in facing current challenges,” she said.

She also wished Sateerah success in whatever field she chooses to pursue after this.
