Farhash never sacked from any post - Anwar

 

PKR president Anwar Ibrahim has refuted claims that his former political secretary Farhash Wafa Salvador had been sacked from his previous positions.

“No, he wasn’t sacked (from any position). Our relations are good,” he told Malaysiakini.

He said this when asked about rumours that Farhash (above) was removed as the Perak PKR chairperson last September and allegations that Anwar had sidelined him.

Gopeng MP Dr Lee Boon Chye replaced Farhash as the party’s interim Perak chief, while Farhan Fauzi was appointed as Anwar’s political secretary.

When contacted, Farhash said he had resigned and was not sacked.

Asked to explain the reason for resigning, Farhash said this is so that his participation in the party election won’t affect Anwar as PKR president.

“I want to focus my efforts on strengthening the party.

“At the same time, I don’t want to affect other leaders, especially the party president, through my involvement in the party election,” he said.

Farhash had previously announced that he would be contesting in the Gombak division, where he is slated to go up against Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari during the election in May. - Mkini
