[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – A formal proposal on a merger of two Pakatan Harapan component parties – PKR and Amanah – has been submitted but their leaders have yet to put the matter up for discussion.

PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that any proposal for the good of the two parties is feasible but it will have to be deliberated upon.

However, Anwar said the merger idea has not been brought up for discussion although there are members who are talking about it openly.

When pressed whether there has been a formal proposal, he said: “Yes, yes it was submitted and it is in the knowledge of the leaderships of Keadilan (PKR) and Amanah. But we have not explored this further.”

Asked if the official deliberations between the two parties have started, he said: “Not yet, not yet. Some members are throwing around some ideas.”

“Whatever views that we hear, we will discuss. There is no problem,” he told reporters after visiting the morning market at Taman Bukit Angkasa, Kg Kerinchi in Lembah Pantai here.

Also present were his wife and former party president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil.
