In a double blow to Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, PKR today took disciplinary action against two of his closest advisors for breach of party regulations.

Khalid's political secretary Mustapha Mohd Talib ( left ) was suspended for a year for threatening a member against contesting in the Kuala Selangor PKR division elections, while his Port Klang constituency coordinator Faekah Husin was issued a show-cause letter.

Faekah, who was Khalid's former political secretary, was given the show-cause for a press statement she issued yesterday.

She was defending Khalid, following calls from within PKR for him to quit.

The disciplinary actions come after Khalid controversially lost his bid to defend the position of Kuala Selangor division chief last week.

In immediate response, Khalid said that he accepts the decision of the party disciplinary committee.

“If that is the decision, then that’s the decision, but if they (Faekah and Mustapha) have the right to appeal the decision,” he said.

Four sacked for violence

He, however, declined to comment on the bickering between Faekah and other PKR leaders on his position as MB, which led to the show-cause letter.

Khalid (right) , who is also Bandar Tun Razak MP, said that such discussions should take place at political bureau meetings and not in the media.

“I don’t have any views, I just continue his duties. Speculations don’t benefit anyone.

I believe that Pakatan Rakyat was given the mandate by the people so we can perform our duties so this is our priority,” he said.

Separately, PKR also sacked four members for committing violence in the party polls.

K Nallasamy, Vijay Kumar Samy, A Mohanathas and N Sathiaseelan were sacked for seizing and breaking the ballot boxes at the Kota Raja polls.

Meanwhile, Nasharuddin Md Isa of the Ampang division's membership was automatically revoked as he had taken legal action against the party, according to Article 44.1 of the party constitution.

He had taken legal action on alleged discrepancies in the ongoing party elections.
