Timbalan Presiden PKR Azmin Ali menafikan mempunyai hasrat untuk menjadi menteri besar Selangor, sebaliknya membidas proses perlantikan jawatan tersebut tanpa merujuk kepimpinan negeri terlebih dahulu.Azmin berkata keputusan yang dibuat oleh Presiden PKR Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail tidak dibuat secara konsensus, malah kepimpinan negeri sendiri tidak mengetahui tentang nama yang dicadangkan kepada Sultan Selangor yang dihantar semalam.
“Kepimpinan negeri Pakatan Rakyat Selangor yang terdiri daripada Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) dan Ahli Parlimen (MP) sendiri tidak tahu nama yang dihantar kepada baginda Sultan,” kata Azmin dalam sidang media di ibu pejabat PKR di sini.
“Isu di sini ialah keputusan yang dibuat oleh presiden parti tidak mengikut proses yang sepatutnya menerusi konsesus daripada semua ADUN dan MP di Selangor.”
Surat perlantikan tersebut yang dihantar kepada Sultan Selangor dikatakan telah ditandatangani oleh Dr Wan Azizah.
Azmin juga menafikan khabar angin mengatakan beliau kemaruk kuasa untuk menjawat jawatan tersebut, sebaliknya berkata jika beliau mempunyai cita-cita tersebut sudah pasti telah menerima tawaran pada 2008 daripada Ketua Umum PKR Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim supaya menggantikan Tan Sri Abdul Khalid.
“Kalau betul lah saya kemaruk kuasa, sejak 2008 lagi saya sudah jadi menteri besar,” terang Azmin lagi. “Selepas pilihan raya kecil di Permatang Pauh pada 2008, Datuk Seri Anwar berkata kepada saya supaya bersiap-sedia untuk menjadi MB tetapi saya tolak demi keharmonian parti.”
Azmin kata dua hari lepas, pada mesyuarat tergempar kepimpinan negeri, mereka telah hantar surat semalam kepada presiden. Tetapi beliau enggan mendedahkan nama yang dicadangkan dalam mesyuarat tergempar itu.
Pertikaian tentang siapa yang mengisi jawatan penting di negeri terkaya tersebut bukan suatu isu, tegas Azmin yang pada masa sama membidas proses tersebut tidak telus dan mencemarkan imej parti reformasi.
“Saya ingin ingin tegaskan, isunya bukan Azmin dipilih sebagai MB. Saya dan rakan-rakan tidak mahu amalan nepotisma dalam Keadilan kerana ia adalah sebuah parti reformasi,” tambahnya. “Keadilan bukan milik individu atau keluarga, tapi milik rakyat.”
Kemelut jawatan menteri besar Selangor sehingga kini masih belum selesai, walaubagaimanapun dua parti komponen Pakatan Rakyat (PR) telah menyatakan secara terbuka menyokong Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim untuk dilantik semula untuk penggal kedua kali ini.
“PAS dan DAP mahu Tan Sri Khalid jadi MB, itu hak dan pandangan mereka. Tapi ia mestilah menerusi proses yang telus,” kata Azmin mengulas tentang kenyataan kedua-dua rakan komponen PR tersebut.
Selepas PRU13, PR berjaya berjaya membentuk kerajaan apabila menang selesa di Selangor memenangi 44 daripada 56 kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Selangor manakala BN hanya memenangi 12 kerusi DUN.
Daripada 44 kerusi tersebut, PAS dan DAP masing-masing berjaya menang sebanyak 15 kerusi, sementara PKR 14 kerusi.- malaysian insider
T/Sekole - Bagi aku, soal konsensus, itu aku boleh terima tapi bila dia bangkit soal nepotisme,ini aku kurang setuju.
Kalu Anwar nak amal nepotisme dah lama dia suruh bini dia atau anaknya bertanding kerusi DUN Selangor dan bila menang terus perkenankan nama2 kepada Sultan sebagai calon MB. Tapi Anwar tak buat demikian.
Timbul pertanyaan sekarang, mengapa Azmin pula bertanding kerusi Parlimen dan kerusi DUN dalam PRU-13 lalu kalau betoi2 hajatnya tak berminat jawatan MB Selangor?
Walaupun dia nafi dia tak berminat jadi MB,tapi di sudut hati kecilnya keinginan itu masih membara. Protes yang dilakukanhari ini adalah jalan keluar bagi meluahkan kefrasannya yang tak terhingga...
Survey rambang portal FMT menunjukkan bahawa para pembacanya gemar Khalid Ibrahim sebagai MB Selangor berbanding Azmin Ali...
Kita tunggu apakah langkah Azmin seterusnya...
Nak demo tiap hari, tiap minggu, tiap bulan...
Timbalan Presiden PKR Azmin Ali hari ini mengesahkan berhubung pesanan tweet beliau yang sinis terhadap perhimpunan mempertikaikan keputusan pilihan raya umum ke-13 di Kelana Jaya, Selangor pada Rabu lalu.
Beliau memberitahu pemberita bahawa daripada mengadakan perhimpunan, apa yang patut ahli Pakatan lakukan ialah mengumpul maklumat penipuan daripada semua agen pengundian dan pengiraan undinya dan bekerja ke arah petisyen pilihan raya.
Sambil menegaskan beliau tidak menentang hak berhimpun seperti yang termaktub dalam perlembagaan, beliau sempat bertanya:
"Adakah kita hendak berhimpun setiap hari, setiap minggu atau setiap bulan?"
Sebaliknya, tegas Azmin, mereka perlu mula bekerja dan bukannya terlalu banyak berpolitiking kerana pilihan raya umum yang akan menjelang beberapa tahun saja lagi.
Bagaimanapun, katanya, beliau tidak menghadiri perhimpunan raksasa di Stadium Kelana Jaya bukan kerana protes tetapi kerana beliau ada "mesyuarat".
"Saya tidak hadir kerana ada mesyuarat dengan rakan-rakan mengenai perkara ini (pelantikan menteri besar Selangor)... tetapi saya akan hadir di perhimpunan yang lain," katanya. -malaysiakini
Azmin stays with PKR, raps Khalid's administration...
Refuting all speculation, PKR deputy president Azmin Ali said he will remain with the party and will not betray the trust of those who elected him as MP for Gombak and Bukit Antarabangsa assemblyperson.
"Carry on dreaming, for I have no intention of resigning the duly elected position as deputy president.
"Consequently and more significantly, I will not betray the trust of the people who five years ago elected me their MP and state assemblyperson," Azmin said.
He said speculation that he is after the post of Selangor MB is false, but claimed there was concern among the Selangor PKR leadership that the decision for the post had been decided without party consensus.
Azmin also said that most of the concern stemmed from the fact that the first-term Pakatan Rakyat Selangor administration had fallen short in serving the people.
However, he rejected claims that the unhappiness within the party was because Khalid had refused to support the divisions financially or through appointments within the state.
"What we want in a CEO of a state is humility to listen to civil servants and the rakyat.
"We are not asking for contracts or tenders, no way... but RM2.6 billion in reserves is meaningless on paper when the problems on the ground are not solved," Azmin said.
The problems, he said, included the issues of land, water and bureaucracy, which have seen the business community waiting for years for approvals.
"The business community has been waiting two years for approvals. I expect a reformed government to do away with bureaucracy, while ensuring everything is transparent and above board," he said.
Azmin also hit out at party de factoleader Anwar Ibrahim (right), whom he said did not resolve these issues despite being appointed Selangor economic adviser for this purpose.
"(When the issues were raised) Anwar wanted to sit down and discuss them, but I told him we have discussed this for many years," he added.
Azmin said that the criticism against Abdul Khalid's administration is shared by PKR leaders nationwide, and as far as Sabah.
"The Sabah PKR leadership is here to show support," he said.
Those present at the packed press conference include Teluk Kemang MP Kamarul Bahrin Abbas, Kuala Langat MP Abdullah Sani Abdul Hamid, Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin, Batu Caves assemblyperson Amiruddin Shaari and Seri Muda assemblyperson Amiruddin Shaari.

PKR deputy president Azmin Ali today clarified that he had tweeted his disapproval of the Black 505 rally on Wednesday because he felt there were better ways to deal with electoral fraud.
He told reporters that instead of rallying, what Pakatan Rakyat needs to do is to collect information of fraud on all its polling and counting agents and work towards election petitions.
"I am not against the right to assemble, this is enshrined in the constitution... but are we to rally every day, week and month?
"We should start working, and not be politicking too much as the next election is a few years ahead," Azmin (left) said.
He, however, added that his notable absence at the mammoth rally at the Kelana Jaya stadium was not due to a protest, but because he had "meetings".
"I did not attend as I had meetings with colleagues on this matter (the appointment of the Selangor menteri besar)... but I will attend other rallies," he stressed.
He also defended his tweets, which have been reported on by several media outlets, saying that he only called for self-reflection.
“Was I wrong? I did not speak out without basis. I said we should accept the people’s decision and do self-reflection first,” he said.
He also said that unlike in Umno, it is acceptable in PKR for constructive criticism to be made against leaders.
“But I did not name the de facto leader (Anwar Ibrahim) or any leader,” he said.
Azmin had prior to Wednesday’s rally, which attracted some 120,000 people, tweeted the following:
“Accept the people’s decision. Move on by caring for the rakyat for the sake of the nation’s prosperity, not by bullying them.
“The people are tired of over-politicking. Accept the punishment. Do self-reflection. Admit to faults. Move on. Concentrate on the rakyat and not just kin (kerabat).”
The speculation that something was amiss was first sparked by his tweets on Tuesday:
“Failure to reach Putrajaya, whose fault is it? Follow the explanations in the near future.
“The call for reform must start from the voice in your heart. Don’t drag the rakyat into it if we had failed ourselves.”-malaysiakini
