PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim said the party will investigate and take action over allegations that the party’s Kulim branch had organised a dance with scantily-clad female performers.

He said that the party has its own values, which should be upheld.

NONE “If there is truth to the allegation, we will take action (on the person who organised it). If it (the dance) is not appropriate and involves the party, we will take action.

“The party has to uphold good values, which are to be defended at all times.”

However, Anwar ( right ) was unable to comment on what sort of action would be taken.

It was reported that the Kulim PKR branch had organised the controversial dance show with scantily-clad female performers.

Anwar was speaking on the sidelines after delivering a keynote address on free education at Universiti Industri Selangor, in Shah Alam.

It was reported that the Kulim event was organised by Kulim assemblyperson Lim Soo Nee, who is also a state executive councilor, to rebut an earlier allegation over the guidelines imposed by the state.

The PAS-led government had issued a guideline over the attire allowed for Chinese New Year performances which is said to have split the Kedah Pakatan government, as the PKR had opposed such conditions being imposed.

It is also reported that the PKR-organised event is being probed by the authorities.

Anwar did not want to comment when asked about South Korean rapper Psy, who is to perform at a BN Chinese New Year event next week.
