Lembah Jaya assemblyperson Haniza Talha has lamented being locked out from her executive councillor office before she could clear out her things.
This was after Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari yesterday announced that Haniza's tenure as the exco in charge of housing and urban living ended yesterday.
Haniza's removal follows her sacking from PKR.
Haniza (above), when contacted, said her office had been padlocked by unknown persons.
"Yes, my office was padlocked but I don't know on whose orders.
"My things are still in the office as I only got a letter (about the termination) from the menteri besar's private secretary yesterday evening, just before 7pm.
"My officers went (to the office) this morning with the intention to pack our things before Monday but found the door chained and padlocked," she told Malaysiakini.
She said she would try again on Monday to access the office so that she could collect her things.
Haniza, who led PKR’s women's wing, was seen as a key ally of former PKR deputy president Azmin Ali.
Azmin (below), who had since defected to Perikatan Nasional, was among the figures who helped engineer the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan government.
He helped supply 10 MPs including himself, who defected from PKR, for Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to form his new government.
Following the formation of the new government, there has been an exodus of Azmin's supporters from PKR to PN.
However, Azmin and his allies are still party-less under PN although they have been operating in the Dewan Rakyat under Bersatu.
Speculation is rife that Azmin may eventually set up a new party but he has downplayed this.
Seberang Jaya assemblyperson Dr Afif Bahardin has set up Pemuda Negara while Haniza has set up Nation of Women. Both have been sacked from PKR.
The NGOs are seen as the possible future youth and women's wing of a new political party.
