Kota Kinabalu: Sabah PKR warned its former women’s chief Rahimah Majid (pic) against making “baseless accusations” against the party president, a day after she claimed Anwar Ibrahim had caused the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government by his “desperation” to become prime minister.Disciplinary bureau chief Sazalye Donol also urged Rahimah to leave PKR “honourably”, saying her suspension was in accordance with the party constitution.

He told FMT that Article 41.6 of the constitution states the right of the central leadership council to suspend members until investigations by the disciplinary board are complete.
“Paragraph 5 of the letter that Rahimah received explicitly stated that she would be given the opportunity to explain to the disciplinary board, which would call her in the near future.
“This means that the board, upon completion of its investigation, would have issued a summons along with the charge against her. But with arrogance, ego and recklessness, she blamed the party president for the fall of PH.”
Sazalye said her allegations showed a lack of knowledge about the events leading to PH’s downfall.

“The party’s disciplinary action against her has nothing to do with the president.
“I advise her, as a lawyer, to leave PKR honourably without aggravating the party.”
