Nurul Izzah's resignation not a major political problem, says AMK chief
AMK leader Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim says PKR is functioning as usual and the leadership's statement is sufficient explanation.
KUALA KANGSAR – Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) does not regard Nurul Izzah Anwar's resignation as PKR deputy president as a major political problem.
AMK chief Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim declined to comment further, saying the statement issued by the party leadership yesterday was sufficient explanation of the matter.
"I do not think it is a burdensome issue or a major political problem that has to be faced today.
"The organisation (PKR) is running well, as usual," he told reporters while attending the Perak-level Kembara Inspirasi Belia Akar Umbi programme here today. (Quotes translated from Malay.)
The national political scene was jolted yesterday by Nurul Izzah's intention to resign, barely a year after taking up the party's second-highest post after her father, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The PKR Central Leadership Council, however, decided to grant her temporary leave.
PKR communications director Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil said Nurul Izzah would officiate the Wanita and AMK congresses scheduled for Aug 14.
Commenting further, Muhammad Kamil said attention should instead be directed at the people's problems, such as the cost of living and infrastructure development.
"This is what the people should focus on in assessing which leaders we want to elevate, and which leaders are able to resolve the problems we face in our daily lives.
"But unfortunately what is happening is the politics of fear, frightening the Malays, frightening Muslims. Not to save this country, but to gain a little political advantage," he said. – KOSMO! ONLINE
