KUALA LUMPUR – PKR Youth has sacked its Selangor and Perlis chiefs effective immediately as part of the wing’s revamp.
Selangor PKR Youth chief Najwan Halimi has confirmed his sacking to Sinar Harian, saying he received a letter from the wing’s secretary, Ahmad Syukri Che Ab Razak, at 11am today.
Najwan said he was told that his removal is part of the wing’s restructuring plan.
He added that his dismissal meant the chapter has to appoint a new chief and hold polls to elect a new committee.
The Kota Anggerik assemblyman said an immediate sacking of a state Youth leader is rare.
“My appointment as Selangor PKR Youth chief is the prerogative of the leadership, and I accept the decision.”
Perlis PKR Youth chief Nor Azam Karap was also accorded the same treatment. However, both still maintain their party membership.
PKR Youth in a statement today said the decision was made during its recent congress, and is a progressive step to restructure the leadership and youth committees in both states.
“We see this as a sign that the party machinery must ready itself for a general election, which can be called at any time.
“This strategic revamp is to ensure our work is streamlined, especially in attracting young voters.” – The Vibes, June 28, 2021
