More Selangor PAS leaders quit party posts

Eighteen Kelana Jaya PAS office bearers members led by its president, Izham Hashim, tendered their resignation today to join the newly formed Gerakan Harapan Baru (GHB) or New Hope Movement.

Deputy president Omar Ahmad, vice-president Muzammil Hafiz and seven branch leaders were among them.

According to Izham, two-thirds of Kelana Jaya PAS committee members were involved in the resignation and it was now left to the party's central leadership to take over the administration of the division.

"The resignation involving 87 leaders in the Kelana Jaya division in all is timely in our quest to embrace the aspirations of all Malaysians and in making Islam more inclusive, progressive and universal across races, religions and cultures," he told a press conference here, today.

Meanwhile, at the same press conference, Subang PAS deputy president, Roslan Abu Bakar said he was resigning along with three other PAS women's wing committee members in the division.

Before this, several PAS leaders from the Shah Alam, Kota Raja, Klang and Kapar divisions had also tendered their resignation.
