PKR yet to appoint disciplinary board, but reports can be made, says Fuziah
PKR secretary-general Fuziah Salleh says the constitution allows the party's central leadership council to scrutinise and make decisions on complaints.
PETALING JAYA : PKR secretary-general Fuziah Salleh has assured members that the party will continue to accept complaints made against their contemporaries, even though its disciplinary board has yet to be reconstituted following the recent party polls.
'We are not trying to curb our members from speaking out (against their contemporaries in the party). They have every right to submit their complaints,' she told FMT.
Fuziah acknowledged that members had been enquiring about filing misconduct reports. She said the absence of the board should not be seen as an attempt to stifle internal dissent.
'There is still room for members to file disciplinary reports on other members,' she said, adding that the party could act on such complaints through provisions in its constitution.
'There's a clause in the party constitution that allows the central leadership council to scrutinise and make decisions directly.'
The next council meeting, scheduled for July 27, would provide a forum to address any urgent matters.
Fuziah stressed that the party's ongoing internal restructuring did not prevent members from seeking recourse via existing mechanisms.
Her remarks follow rising unease within PKR, with several leaders recently voicing dissatisfaction over the party's direction and leadership decisions.
PKR's party election commenced in March this year, covering both central and branch-level leadership contests, and culminated in the formation of a new central leadership council on May 23, 2025.
On Friday, PKR president Anwar Ibrahim urged members to move past internal disagreements, particularly those related to judicial appointments.
PKR information chief Fahmi Fadzil later said Anwar had 'no intention' of initiating disciplinary proceedings against MPs for expressing dissenting views.
'They have the right to express their views, and Anwar has asked division leaders and PKR members to understand this and move on,' said Fahmi.
