PETALING JAYA: A Sabah PKR youth leader has questioned the depth of Lim Guan Eng’s support for Pakatan Harapan (PH) after Lim, the DAP secretary general, continued to support Shafie Apdal as a candidate for the nomination as prime minister, if PH returns. turn on.
PKR Youth’s chief information officer, Razeef Rakimin, said Guan Eng’s support for Shafie was an act of treason against PH. “For me, if he no longer has the spirit of solidarity with PH, just dissolve PH,” he said in a statement.
He added that the PH presidential council had agreed that the head of the PKR, Anwar Ibrahim, would be the coalition’s candidate for the post of prime minister since the early stages of the collapse of the PH government.
Lim had said in an FMT interview that Anwar and Shafie were still his favorites as candidates for the top job. “We support Anwar to have the numbers, but if he can’t, we should give Shafie a chance and due respect to an East Malaysian first prime minister,” he said.
Razeef argued, however, that in the event that Anwar does not win majority support, the focus should be to strengthen the coalition and “regain the mandate” in the next general election.
“If we have previously agreed with Shafie as a candidate for Sabah’s prime minister, why does Guan Eng need to complicate the situation by proposing Shafie as a candidate for prime minister? Will Guan Eng also want to nominate Shafie as Agong’s candidate after this? “
Razeef said he was fed up with Guan Eng pleasing Shafie after the DAP failed to use his party’s logo in the Sabah elections; He urged the DAP leaders not to show their desperation to return to power.
He said PH leaders should not raise issues that could cause conflict within the coalition and should focus on elections.
