PKR has denied a news report which claimed that the party had reprimanded its vice-president Rafizi Ramli for making statements that were detrimental to the party.

In a statement today, PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution said that the report, which quoted anonymous sources, was not true.

"I urge the press to approach official sources for their stories. No disciplinary cases were brought the party's disciplinary committee during the last political bureau meeting.

"PKR will not lose focus from its general election preparations and I urge all party members to unite and strengthen the party.

"Don't be swayed by rumour mongers who are out to turn us against each other," he said.
