Anwar Has No Plans To Take Action Against PKR MPs With Differing Views
POLITICS SHAH ALAM, July 18 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has no intention of taking action against several Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Members of Parliament (MPs) who have expressed differing views on certain issues, according to PKR Communications Director Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. Speaking to reporters after a closed-door meeting between Anwar and PKR Selangor leaders today, Fahmi said the Prime Minister, who is also PKR President, urged party members and branch leaders to respect those differing opinions and move forward together to strengthen the party. 'The Prime Minister has clearly stated that for a few MPs who differ in opinion on certain issues, he does not intend to take any action. They have the right to express their views. 'He has also asked all branch chiefs and party members to understand this and move on,' Fahmi said. Fahmi, who is also the Communications Minister, said that at the meeting, Anwar also advised newly elected branch leaders to adopt an inclusive approach when appointing their respective committee members. 'The Prime Minister emphasised that even those who lost in the recent party elections or who are not from their own camp should be included as part of a united team for the sake of the party's overall strength,' he said. Additionally, Fahmi said Anwar also informed party leaders that the appointment of State Leadership Council (MPN) Chairs will be finalised before the end of this month and instructed party machinery to start mobilising on the ground in August to boost grassroots support. During the meeting, Fahmi said Anwar also addressed recent allegations surrounding the appointment of the new Chief Justice and reiterated that the process strictly adhered to provisions outlined in the Federal Constitution, and that the list of nominees submitted to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the Conference of Rulers was prepared by the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC). 'The Prime Minister only advised the King after consultations with the Conference of Rulers. The process fully complied with constitutional procedures,' said Fahmi, adding that Anwar clarified no judges were dismissed in contrast to previous administrations.

Fahmi: PM clarifies judicial appointments, urges party unity
SHAH ALAM: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called on all parties, including those within PKR who may no longer share the same views, to "move on" after issues concerning judicial appointments were addressed. Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said this following a closed-door meeting between Anwar and PKR members and leaders today. When asked about the essence of the prime minister's message, Fahmi said several matters were clarified, including those related to judicial appointments, which he said had been resolved, with earlier allegations proven baseless. "On the appointment of the Chief Justice, the prime minister said that all the slander and accusations that had been circulating have now been answered. The appointment process followed what is stated in the Federal Constitution. "The names submitted were those recommended by the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC). There were no names outside of this list, and the process was in full compliance with the JAC Act and Article 122B of the Constitution," he said. Fahmi also dismissed allegations of interference in judicial appointments, adding that Anwar had welcomed criticisms raised by non-governmental organisations (NGOs). "In fact, most responses, including that from the Bar Council, were positive and served as a reminder that this is not just about appointments but about strengthening the reform process and institutional integrity," he said. Meanwhile, PKR vice-president Datuk Seri R. Ramanan said all parties should embrace the prime minister's advice and suggestions, especially on reconciliation. "We must be at peace, act with integrity and remain united because this party is our family, our home, and we must protect it, especially now that the internal elections are over," he said. In a related development, PKR Youth deputy chief and Kota Damansara assemblyman Muhammad Izuan Ahmad Kasim said the prime minister also addressed several matters during the meeting, including the controversy surrounding the Chief Justice's appointment, which he said had been blown out of proportion. "The prime minister reminded members and voters not to be swayed by the opposition's narrative. "The issues being raised stem from individuals with poor track records in the judiciary. He (Anwar) made it clear to members not to be influenced, because when the truth comes out, there's really nothing there," he said.

Muhy calls for Anwar to step down over economic concerns
Published on: Friday, July 18, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jul 18, 2025 Text Size: Pic via Pemuda PAS Malaysia | Facebook ALOR SETAR: Former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin ( pic ) has called for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to step down, citing concerns over the nation's economic direction. Speaking during the Himpunan Mandat Negarawan here on Thursday, Muhyiddin warned of worsening poverty and hardship if no decisive action is taken by the current administration. Advertisement He said the government's economic policies, including fuel subsidy cuts and the expanded Sales and Services Tax, had added pressure on lower-income Malaysians, particularly the B40 group. Muhyiddin noted that Perikatan Nasional (PN) had repeatedly raised issues of poverty, jobs, and income in Parliament, but claimed these were not addressed by the Prime Minister or his cabinet. He said PN is ready to present an alternative economic plan, adding that the coalition had already shown its capability in managing the country during the Covid-19 crisis. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
