Resignations 'half-expected'

BUKIT MERTAJAM: Parti Keadilan Rakyat Lunas assemblyman Mohd Radzhi Salleh's decision to quit and become an independent is no surprise to the party, PKR de-facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said yesterday.

Anwar said Radzhi had been riddled with disciplinary problems and was also under investigation for making excessive claims.

"Even Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak warned him to control his expenditure."

Asked why PKR faced problems with its assemblymen, Anwar admitted that the party had shortcomings in its vetting process for last year's general election.

"We definitely have to improve and ensure our candidates are thoroughly vetted in future elections.

"Before the March 8 elections, we were rushing and evidently there were flaws in our selection process." - + selanjutnya
