PKR crossover claim a lie, says Zambry

Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir today dismissed as a lie an opposition claim that three Perak Umno state assemblymen would join Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) soon.

Zambry, who is chairman of the Perak Umno Liaison Committee, said the allegation was designed to cause disunity in the state Umno which was gaining strength.

“They (the opposition) are trying to create issues at a time when their leaders are leaving the party one by one,” he said when contacted by Bernama.

Zambry was asked to comment on the statement today by Perak PKR Information chief Zulkifli Ibrahim that Perak Umno was facing a severe internal crisis which would result in three elected representatives leaving the party and joining PKR soon.

However, Zulkifli had declined to identify the three assemblymen, saying discussions were still ongoing for their eventual admission into the opposition party.

Zambry “advised” Zulkifli to focus on harnessing humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza instead of trying to disunite the people in Perak.

Zulkifli had also said that the alleged crossover of the Umno assemblymen was expected to be announced by the PKR leadership at the right time.

“The three assemblymen are dissatisfied with Dr Zambry’s style of leadership as he (Dr Zambry) gives priority to former PKR members who have joined the Barisan Nasional (BN),” he said.

He said the assemblymen had claimed to have had several meetings on the alleged crossover and had contacted PKR prior to the PKR congress last month.
