Fuziah denies PKR branch dissolutions amid wave of resignations, says party structure remains intact
She said the number of resignations remains below the constitutional requirement for dissolution, which mandates that at least two-thirds of a committee must step down, a figure that varies based on branch size.
'The party constitution clearly outlines the requirements, and unless those are fulfilled, the structure remains intact,' she was quoted telling Free Malaysia Today.
Using the Lenggong branch as an example, Fuziah noted that 15 members had resigned from a 31-member committee, falling short of the 21 resignations required to trigger dissolution.
Fuziah said the party treats all resignations seriously but urged members to use internal mechanisms to address grievances.
She added that the leadership is closely monitoring the situation and remains committed to maintaining party stability and discipline.
'There may be those trying to disrupt or discredit the party from within or outside, but we remain focused,' she said.
This comes as Ahmad Nizam Noh, who lost the contest for Lenggong branch chief, reportedly lodged a complaint with the Registrar of Societies after all 15 members of his faction resigned in protest.
Several youth leaders in the Selayang branch also reportedly stepped down after their allies were defeated in recent internal elections.
In May, Fuziah had dismissed speculation of divisions within the party following the results of its division-level elections.
The results for all 220 PKR divisions nationwide were recently completed and subsequently confirmed and finalised by the party's central leadership council.
Fuziah said PKR had appointed a third-party auditor based overseas to examine the election results, and the findings showed no irregularities.

Govt mulls plan to remove criminal records for minor, non-violent cases
Home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the proposal is part of the amendments to the Registration of Criminals and Undesirable Persons Act 1969 agreed upon in principle by the Cabinet in May. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : The home ministry is mulling over a mechanism to allow individuals convicted of minor or non-violent offences to have their criminal records wiped clean after a set period, provided they do not reoffend. Home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said this was part of the proposed amendments to the Registration of Criminals and Undesirable Persons Act 1969, which was agreed upon in principle by the Cabinet on May 21. 'The proposed amendments include introducing a mechanism to allow individuals who have not committed any new offences within a set period (of time) to be considered as having 'no record' in the criminal registry. 'This will give these individuals a chance to rebuild their lives by seeking employment or continuing their studies,' he said in a written parliamentary reply. Saifuddin said the move was aimed at helping former convicts who had shown good behaviour to reintegrate into society without the stigma of a criminal record. He said the Registration of Criminals and Undesirable Persons Act gave the ministry the legal authority to register individuals convicted of offences listed in the First and Second Schedules of the Act into the criminal registry. Saifuddin said the government would consider views from all stakeholders through ongoing engagement sessions before tabling the amendments in Parliament.

Keep low profile when in Malaysia, IGP advises Palestinians
Inspector-General of Police Khalid Ismail said the police were prepared to handle external threats that could affect national security, including 'any agenda brought by foreign intelligence agencies'. PETALING JAYA : Inspector-General of Police Khalid Ismail has advised Palestinians to keep a low profile when in Malaysia to avoid being targeted by foreign intelligence agencies. Khalid said the police were always prepared to handle external threats that could affect national security, including 'any agenda brought by foreign intelligence agencies'. He said there were two cases recently which police suspected had been masterminded by foreign spies, namely the case of the Israeli caught in possession of firearms last year, and the kidnapping of a Palestinian three years ago. 'To ensure the safety of Palestinians residing in Malaysia, we advise them to keep a low profile to avoid becoming targets (of foreign intelligence agencies). We also advise them to report to the police if they notice any suspicious behaviour towards them,' he said in a statement. Khalid said the police were working closely with the immigration department, the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency, and Interpol to monitor foreigners entering Malaysia. He said the police gave serious attention to foreigners who had long resided in Malaysia, including permanent residents or those here for business, such as foreign consultants. 'The police also continue to forge strategic collaborations with other national security agencies through the exchange of information and views. We remain committed to ensuring Malaysia's security and preserving the welfare of the people,' he said. Yesterday, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said threats posed by international intelligence agencies, including Israel's Mossad, had long been recognised. Anwar said it had been confirmed that Mossad had a presence here and had recruited or worked with locals as agents or accomplices. In February, Israeli national Avitan Shalom was jailed for seven years after pleading guilty to possessing 200 rounds of ammunition and six firearms without a permit. The weapons and ammunition were discovered in a hotel room on Jalan Ampang between 6.46pm on March 26 and 6pm on March 28, 2024. Earlier this month, six men were imprisoned for five years after pleading guilty to abducting and confining a Palestinian man in September 2022.

No road closures in KL ahead of anti-Anwar rally, say cops
Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Usuf Jan Mohamad said additional personnel will be deployed at the various LRT, MRT and monorail stations within the city centre. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : Police will not be closing any roads in Kuala Lumpur ahead of the anti-Anwar Ibrahim rally on Saturday, which is expected to have 10,000 to 15,000 participants. Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Usuf Jan Mohamad said they had been notified about the rally by PAS Youth, with NGOs, students and members of the public expected to be in attendance. He said the participants will gather at Masjid Negara, Pasar Seni, Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad, Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru and the Sogo shopping complex before marching to Dataran Merdeka. To ensure the safety of public transport users, additional personnel will be deployed at the various LRT, MRT and monorail stations within the city centre. 'This is to ensure that the gathering will not affect public transport services or economic stability. We also advise public transport operators to take precautionary measures to ensure public safety. 'We expect traffic congestion towards the city centre. However, we will not carry out any road closures. Instead, personnel will be deployed to control and monitor traffic,' he said in a statement. Usuf reminded those joining the rally not to bring sharp objects, weapons or flares with them, and to refrain from carrying placards with writings or images that touch on race, religion or royalty (3Rs). Perikatan Nasional has planned the rally at Dataran Merdeka to push for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's resignation. The organisers expect up to 300,000 participants, although a similar protest in Shah Alam earlier this month drew just over 300 people.
