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.

Istana Seri Kinabalu denies viral claim linking Sabah Governor's family to Form One student's death in Papar
KOTA KINABALU, July 31 — Istana Seri Kinabalu has strongly denied viral social media allegations claiming that a member of the family of Sabah Governor Tun Musa Aman is linked to the recent death of a Form One student at a school in Papar. In an official statement issued to Bernama today, the palace described the allegations as baseless, irresponsible, and defamatory, saying they threaten to tarnish the reputation of Tun Musa's family. It also called on the public not to spread unverified or slanderous information, and reminded them that disseminating false content is an offence under existing laws, including the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. 'Any developments related to the investigation into the case should be referred to the police or the Ministry of Education Malaysia to avoid public confusion and misinformation,' the statement read. Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Jauteh Dikun was quoted earlier today as confirming that the case has been transferred to Bukit Aman for final review before being referred to the Attorney General's Chambers. The 13-year-old student was pronounced dead at Queen Elizabeth I Hospital in Kota Kinabalu at 11 am on July 17, a day after she was found unconscious in a drain near her school dormitory at around 4 am on July 16. — Bernama

Ex-Pahang MB Adnan Yaakob fails in appeal to overturn RM84,000 penalty imposed by Securities Commission
PUTRAJAYA, July 31 — Former Pahang menteri besar Tan Sri Adnan Yaakob failed in his appeal today to overturn a summary judgement requiring him to pay an RM84,000 penalty to the Securities Commission (SC) for breaching provisions under the Capital Market and Services Act 2007 (CMSA). A three-man bench led by Justice Datuk Azimah Omar held that Adnan should have filed a judicial review to challenge the penalty, adding that on that ground alone, the appeal was bound to fail. Furthermore, she said Adnan failed to raise any triable issues in the light of his clear and unequivocal admission in his letter to the SC. The panel, also comprising Justices Datuk Wong Kian Kheong and Datuk Ismail Brahim, ordered Adnan to pay RM10,000 in legal costs. Adnan, who served as Pahang menteri besar from 1999 to 2018, was a member of the Board of Directors of Pasdec Holdings Bhd (PASDEC), whose largest shareholder is the Pahang State Development Corporation (PKNP) (Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Pahang). The SC, a statutory body established under the Securities Commission Act 1993 (SCMA), is vested with the functions and powers to enforce compliance with the SCMA and CMSA. On May 16, 2018, PASDEC issued an abridged prospectus that omitted material information. PASDEC failed to disclose PKNP's application for approval to subscribe to its entitlement at the issue price of RM0.35 per rights share, was still pending. As a member of the PASDEC's board of directors, Adnan, 75, had individually and collectively accepted responsibility for the omission. On July 22, 2020, SC issued a notice to Adnan stating that he had breached the provisions in CMSA and imposed sanctions, including reprimand and an RM84,000 penalty. However, no payment was made, and the SC initiated a civil suit in the Magistrate's Court in Kuantan. On Aug 25, 2022, the Magistrate's Court allowed the SC's application to enter a summary judgment against Adnan. His appeal to the High Court was dismissed on Feb 16, 2023. In today's proceedings, Adnan, who holds a law degree from the International Islamic University Malaysia, represented himself. He submitted that he should not have been responsible for the breach because his role as PASDEC chairman was a state government appointment. Lawyer Lambert Rasa-Ratnam representing SC, argued that Adnan could have filed a judicial review to challenge the penalty imposed but did not do so. Lambert was also assisted by lawyers Chia Oh Sheng and Lim Jun Xian. — Bernama

PAC tells Works Ministry: Multi-Lane Fast Flow system must not burden government or public
KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 — The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has called on the Ministry of Works (KKR) to ensure the implementation of the Multi-Lane Fast Flow (MLFF) system will not incur any financial implications for the government or consumers once the final direction of the project is determined. PAC chairperson Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin said this precaution is necessary to avoid repeating issues raised in previous PAC proceedings, where projects initially claimed to have no financial impact ultimately resulted in government payments to companies. She said any decision regarding the implementation of the MLFF system, or any future traffic management system, must provide benefits and enhance efficiency in addressing traffic congestion. 'The PAC requests that KKR provide a written update on the latest developments and direction regarding the implementation of the MLFF system for the committee's reference and attention. 'In addition, the PAC urges that the effectiveness and efficiency of the existing toll collection system be improved as an immediate measure to reduce highway congestion before the implementation of the MLFF,' she said in a statement today. According to Mas Ermieyati, the matter was among the recommendations outlined in the PAC Statement on the Follow-up Action by the KKR and the Malaysian Highways Authority (LLM) for the Parliamentary PAC Recommendations on the Management of the MLFF Project Implementation, which was presented yesterday. In addition, the PAC also presented its statement on follow-up actions by the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the Malaysian Inland Revenue Board (IRB) regarding PAC's recommendations on the Management of the IRB Accounts Receivable. For the issue involving the IRB, Mas Ermieyati said the PAC recommended that the board continue to intensify enforcement actions of existing laws, in addition to making improvements from time to time. On this matter, Mas Ermieyati said the PAC recommended that IRB intensify enforcement under existing laws and continuously improve procedures to reduce the risk of rising accounts receivable and taxpayer appeals. She also emphasised the need for ongoing monitoring to ensure the effectiveness of the tax assessment process, along with proactive enforcement to curb leakage and fraud in tax payments. Commenting on the e-invoice initiative, she said, the PAC welcomed the government's move announced on June 5, 2025, and acknowledged the need to consider the preparedness of taxpayers, especially the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in meeting the legal requirements. 'PAC recommends that the IRB provide comprehensive support and guidance to all taxpayers throughout the preparation period for the implementation of the e-Invoice,' she said. — Bernama
