Fuziah, Leong to serve as interim PKR sec-gen, treasurer

 This is pending the PKR political bureau’s decision on new appointments to the party’s new central leadership council.

PKR’s secretary-general Fuziah Salleh and treasurer-general William Leong did not contest in the party’s recent central leadership polls.

PETALING JAYA:

 Former Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh and Selayang MP William Leong will continue serving as PKR’s secretary-general and treasurer-general, respectively, pending new appointments to the posts.

PKR’s political bureau said Fuziah and Leong, who did not contest in the party’s recent central leadership polls, will continue to hold the posts until appointments to the new central leadership council are made.

Similarly, it said Mustapha Sakmud will continue to lead Sabah PKR in the interim while Peto Galim will remain the state chapter’s election director.

The bureau said this was to ensure continuity as PKR prepares for the upcoming state election, which must be held by the end of the year.

“The deputy president and all four vice-presidents have been given specific tasks to ensure the victory of the party and our allies in the unity government (in the state election),” it said in a statement.

The PKR political bureau meeting was chaired by party president Anwar Ibrahim, who was joined by his deputy, Nurul Izzah Anwar, and the four vice-presidents.

The bureau said the meeting also discussed a series of policies that will be implemented by the government, as well as their potential impact on the cost of living.

However, it did not elaborate on what these policies were.

“Follow-up actions were also discussed to ensure the party will always prioritise the people’s interests.” - FMT
