Party secretary-general Datuk Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the report will given to all Pakatan Rakyat (PR) top leaders, explaining why it was necessary to replace Abdul Khalid, The Malaysian Insider reported.

The report will touch on Abdul Khalid’s out of court settlement with Bank Islam over the RM66.67mil Kumpulan Guthrie Bhd shares when Abdul Khalid was the group’s chief executive officer.

Saifuddin told reporters that the reports have raised doubts on Abdul Khalid’s integrity.

The party hopes the report will be able to convince its partners in PR to replace Andul Khalid with PKR’s president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

Recently, PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced the Opposition Pact Leadership Council had accepted PKR's proposal to replace Abdul Khalid and to nominate PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail to fill the post.

However, PAS President Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang and PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat had thrown their support behind Abdul Khalid and want him to remain as the MB.
