Muda Ready To Answer Pkr S Concerns On Joining Harapan

---

 


Muda is ready to initiate a formal meeting with Pakatan Harapan and answer questions arising from the party’s intention to join the coalition.
The party’s deputy president Amira Aisya Abd Aziz said the proposed meeting is Muda’s show of commitment to strengthen ties not only for the next 15th general election, but also for future struggles.
“Aside from track records of cooperation between Muda and Harapan, I do understand each critic and scepticisms from friends in Harapan.
“It is a norm in any alliance-building process - there will be many questions arising.
“That is why myself and the Muda leadership are prepared to set up a formal meeting with Harapan for us to resolve each matter together,” Amira said in a statement.
The first-term Puteri Wangsa assemblyperson cited her ongoing cooperation with Johor Harapan representatives since the last state election as part of the opposition bench in the legislative assembly.
However, Muda’s critics within PKR pointed to failed negotiations in the March Johor polls, which saw Muda’s candidate Rasid Abu Bakar clashing against PKR’s Dr Zamil Najwah Arbain and four others in Larkin.
The Malaysian Insight quoted PKR Youth chief Adam Adli Abdul Halim as saying Muda’s actions in Johor created lasting uneasiness among PKR members, despite other successful cooperations.
He also previously said there’s no easy way for Muda to join Harapan, with numerous considerations to be made.
PKR Youth chief Adam Adli Abdul HalimMuda contested seven seats in the Johor polls, with assistance from DAP and Amanah, except in Larkin where the two Harapan parties said they would not help to campaign against PKR.
‘Wild imaginations’
Meanwhile, Amira blamed “wild imaginations” for some quarters claiming that Muda is insincere, has alleged ties with Pejuang chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad, and questioning party president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman’s motives for forming Muda.
“I would like to say here that all these allegations are not only untrue, but it was built on wild imaginations.
“Muda is founded by a group of youths desiring to see Malaysia prosper.
“After frustrations with the Sheraton Move, my friends and I thought it would be better for us to form a political party and be politicians who are clean, hardworking, and earnest in administering the country,” she said.
Syed Saddiq first revealed Muda’s intentions to formally join Harapan last week, saying that informal initial talks have taken place with the coalition’s senior leadership.  - Mkini
