PKR Wanita: Dr Wan Azizah the right choice for Selangor MB post

PKR Wanita Information chief Azura Aziz insisted that the party’s president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail is the right choice for the Selangor Menteri Besar position.

Azura said Dr Wan Azizah’s qualification cannot be questioned as she had held several important positions in the past 16 years, including the first Malaysian woman to be named as the Opposition leader in 1999.

She said apart from being party president, Dr Wan Azizah was also the Permatang Pauh member of Parliament and has all the experience needed to run a state.

Azura also lashed out at PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, who had earlier said Dr Wan Azizah is not qualified for the job.

She also questioned the Islamic party’s sincerity after it named three candidates from the party for the Selangor MB position.

“PAS’s flip-flop stand cannot be accepted. It is not in line with the spirit of being a coalition partner,” she said in a press statement today.

He said Abdul Hadi had made a last minute surprise decision and is trying to use various reasons to justify his actions.

“Where is his integrity as a political party leader? This is really disappointing,” she added.

Abdul Hadi's statement had also drew the ire of PKR Youth who want him to retract the statement.
