PKR demands apology from Mukhriz over alleged PN deregistration plot
Its secretary-general Fuziah Salleh says slides outlining plans to suspend and deregister PN were never presented at PKR’s national congress.
PKR has demanded an apology from Pejuang president Mukhriz Mahathir following allegations that he falsely implicated PKR in PN's deregistration. According to PKR secretary-general Fuziah Salleh, Mukhriz shared unverified material on social media claiming that PKR had presented plans to suspend and deregister PN at their national congress in August.
Fuziah stated that the slides Mukhriz posted on Instagram and Threads never appeared at any PKR congress or convention and were not prepared by anyone in the party. She noted that these slides first appeared on Facebook on September 24 and were not mentioned during PKR's congress, which received significant media coverage. Fuziah expressed disappointment that an experienced politician would share unverified information, emphasizing that political disagreements should not justify spreading defamatory claims.
The PKR allegations arose after the Registrar of Societies deregistered PN, citing an unsatisfactory response to a show-cause notice. This decision followed a complaint from Bersatu regarding its exclusion from a PN Supreme Council meeting in July, which Fuziah clarified was an internal matter between PN's component parties and unrelated to PKR.
