PETALING JAYA: A political analyst has warned of a likely increase of support for a rogue group in Melaka PKR if the party nominates anyone linked to it as a candidate in the upcoming state election.

Speaking to FMT, Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya (UM) said PKR would be putting its reputation at stake if it failed to prove that it had candidates more qualified than those linked to what the press has come to refer to as a “cartel” of former state party leaders.


He said PKR’s stability would continue to be under threat if it didn’t take action against the group to prevent an increase of support for it and to ensure the party was not exposed to ridicule.

“It has to conduct a spring cleaning to prove it is capable of coming out stronger and more united without the cartel in the party and that it has candidates who are more qualified,” he added.

He said there was no denying that there was such a cartel in Melaka PKR and that its influence was strong enough to give it the courage to go against the party’s central leadership.
