Sarawak PKR Chief boycotts state convention, Anwar’s speech


PKR central pressed ahead with a state convention in Sarawak today despite objections by a majority led by Works Minister Baru Bian who was not seen at the convention today.

On the 14th of November, Azmin spoke of hidden hands that wanted to prevent him from speaking out at the national-level congress.

The next day, Bian joined seven others in signing a statement telling the party’s “top national leaders” to listen to members or forget about holding a convention in Sarawak.

In other words, the majority in PKR Sarawak made a firm decision not to go ahead with a state-level convention until and unless Anwar agreed to discuss PKR’s decision to retract its invitation to Azmin.

Anwar, however, ignored Bian and his men altogether.

PETALING JAYA: PKR central pressed ahead with a state convention in Sarawak today despite objections by a majority led by Works Minister Baru Bian.

Bian was not seen at the convention today.

On Wednesday, Bian, who heads PKR Sarawak, led a delegation of 32 state leaders to Putrajaya where a meeting was held with party deputy president Dato’ Seri Azmin Ali.

Of the 32, four were Members of Parliament (MPs), Bian included, while the remaining comprised 18 division chiefs and 10 leadership council members.

The meeting discussed PKR’s eleventh hour decision to cancel an invitation that would otherwise have seen Azmin officiating a youth wing congress in his capacity as party deputy president.

On the 14th of November, Azmin spoke of hidden hands that wanted to prevent him from speaking out at the national-level congress.

The next day, Bian joined seven others in signing a statement telling the party’s “top national leaders” to listen to members or forget about holding a convention in Sarawak.

In other words, the majority in PKR Sarawak made a firm decision not to go ahead with the state-level convention until and unless Anwar agreed to discuss with Sarawak his decision regarding Azmin.

Anwar, however, ignored Bian and his men altogether.

On Friday, party sec-gen Dato’ Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail made it clear that the Sarawak convention would go on as scheduled, in line with a decision made by PKR’s Central Leadership Council and political bureau.

The youth wing, however, is divided over the issue.

Late Firday night, wing deputy Muhammad Ilham Idham said his team had decided to revert back to the original decision after listening to opinions by the majority, meaning, Azmin would be the one to officiate the national youth congress.

The next day, however, Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir said the call made by his deputy “was not the official stand of the youth wing” and that the congress would be officiated by dating Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail in her capacity as Deputy Prime Minister.
