Twenty-hours hours after DAP held their meeting the outcome of which they declared Pakatan Rakyat ' dead ', PKR too held a meeting though their reaction has yet to be made known

Reporters who waited for the end of the three-hour political bureau meeting at  Petaling Jaya last night were greeted with the familiar sight of PKR president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and other party leaders existing flashing generous smiles but keeping their mouths  shut.

Press cameras were focused on secretary-general Rafizi Ramli ( photo ) who only announced that 'the decision has been made, but it won't be told tonight'.

"The decision is positive. I am smiling.

"There are still few things to be ironed out, we will issue statement in due time," Rafizi added,

Malaysiakini understands that PKR is currently working on a two-pronged strategy in order to maintain their grip on the Selangor government in which the party holds less seats than either DAP or PAS.

Their solution is geared towards ensuring that DAP and PAS lawmakers continue to work together in the form of a 'unity government' with shared policies akin to Pakatan Rakyat.

PKR deputy president Azmin Ali is currently in Kelantan on a working visit to meet several PAS leaders there.

His visit signifies more than just friendly chat as it will determine the fate of the Selangor government as well.

Sinar Harian today quoted Azmin as saying that PKR had already made their stand known through Wan Azizah's statement in Kuala Lumpur a couple of days ago.

Wan Azizah had then said that all parties should acknowledged problems within the Pakatan coalition and leaders of the three parties - PKR, DAP and PAS – should use their wisdom in order to strengthen the coalition that adheres to its  Common Policy Framework.

Sultans wants explanation

 

"PKR hereby suggests that continued discussions be held with political parties and NGOs within the wider framework of civil society in order to shape the future direction of a strong Malaysia.

 

"It is our collective responsibility to revitalise the faith of the rakyat towards Pakatan in our struggle for change.

“Key issues such as economic and educational reforms, the tackling of corruption and abuse of power as well as the fight against the injustices of the Umno-BN must be continued," she said in a statement on Monday

The conciliatory tone of Wan Azizah's ( photo ) statements reflects the grave situation PKR finds itself in as it can't afford to lose the partnership of PAS in the Selangor government.

Meanwhile, a source says that the Selangor sultan wants Azmin to explain and elaborate on the Pakatan situation to him today.

Given what happened in the 'menteri besar crisis' last year, without PAS, it is very likely that the sultan will again reprimand Pakatan as they did when PKR initiated their 'Kajang move' aimed at installing PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim as Selangor menteri besar.

Vice-president Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin yesterday said that PKR still believed that all spaces for discussion should be kept open.

Looking forward, the only thing that could be seen as positive is that PKR is in pole position paint the way towards a new collaboration in the politics – if it can.
