After PM resignation call, PKR sec-gen tells Hassan to focus on his job

PKR lawmaker Hassan Karim, who called for Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's resignation yesterday, has been told by his party to focus on his job as an elected representative.

PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said he called Hassan yesterday after the latter issued his statement.

"I called him and asked him to focus on the people's issues, and leave the matter to be managed by the top leadership of Pakatan Harapan," he said when met in Kuala Lumpur today.

Saifuddin also disagreed with Hassan's assumption that Harapan is at risk of dissolution under Mahathir's leadership.

"No. I refer back to the consensus of Harapan," he said, in reference to the agreement that Mahathir would be named prime minister if the coalition won the last general election.
