PKR has condemned what it claimed were renewed efforts to collect statutory declarations (SDs) from MPs.
This was amid speculation of fresh political manoeuvrings at a time when the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong is meeting with the country's top political leaders this week.
PKR communications director Fahmi Fadzil said those seeking endorsements in the form of SDs are setting themselves up for positions in the government.
Fahmi said the MPs soliciting support in the form of statutory declarations also claim to have the ‘blessings’ of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
He also said the claims of a royal blessing cannot be true because Malaysia is a constitutional monarchy and are thus a “disgusting attempt at securing positions and profits for a small faction at a time of national crisis”.
“The party holds the position that the name of His Majesty the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong should not be used as a trick to gain the support of other MPs, what more when that support will do absolutely nothing to resolve the problem of a rudderless leadership which the nation is facing right now.
“The desperate act of this group must be wholly rejected by the rakyat. The focus right now must be towards revitalising the economy and defending the Rakyat who have been so affected by the Covid-19 pandemic,” he said in a statement today.
Fahmi did not name the MPs involved or their political affiliation but said they do not hold any key leadership positions in their party.
