Selangor PKR's woes continue as yet another youth leader resigned out of dissatisfaction with the state party leadership.

Abdul Mutalib Ahmad (photo, above) announced he quit as Sabak Bernam PKR Youth chief and Pakatan Harapan Youth secretariat chairperson today, claiming contributions of the youth and talented members were not being valued.

He was unhappy that no one from Sabak Bernam PKR Youth had been appointed local councillors, lamenting their hard work during the 14th general election had not been appreciated.

“Did the Sabak Bernam Youth not contribute?” he asked.

“It is clear that the party practises cronyism and nepotism in all its political decisions.

“Only those with vested interests and sycophants are given priority,” he said in a statement.

Mutalib said “dirty tactics and cronyism have become a cancer in the party”, and therefore decided to resign from his posts out of principle.

His move follows Selangor PKR Youth secretary Syed Badli Shah Syed Osman resigning from his post yesterday, claiming democracy was "dead" in the party.

Syed Badli's resignation prompted Sepang PKR division deputy chief Suziana Musa and Sepang PKR division women's wing chief M Nermala Dewi to issue a statement in solidarity, claiming such practices were evident in the appointment of local government representatives, citing Sepang in particular.
