Suspended PKR Tuaran chief Ansari Abdullah today announced he has resigned from the party which he joined 14 years ago.
In a brief statement posted on his Facebook this morning, he noted that he had decided to quit politics much earlier, but out of respect to the requests from friends, he withheld the announcement until today.
“I have lost faith in the party’s leadership. I am now suspended as a member without any time period. I did not receive a ‘show cause letter’. So much for justice and due process,” he added.
“I criticised the leadership since they were wrong in allowing 2/3 of the seats in Sabah to be contested under Parti Keadilan’s (PKR) symbol by non-members in the form of APS (Angkatan Perpaduan Sabah) and PPPS (Pertubuhan Pakatan Perpaduan Sabah),” he explained.
He went on to note that both APS and PPPS lost in all the parliamentary seats they contested and each won a state seat (Tamparuli and Klias).
Ansari, a practising lawyer, has also had a troubled relationship with other PKR members and leaders in the past.
In the run-up to this month’s elections on May 5, Ansari made a preemptive attempt the day after the dissolution of Parliament to push through the seven divisions’ list of candidates which included himself for the Tuaran constituency.
When his ‘proposal’ was shot down, he accused Pakatan Rakyat de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim of not being sincere in wanting to return political autonomy to Sabah when PKR rejected a move by him to nominate seven candidates to contest for PKR.
He said the rejection of three-quarters of the candidates proposed by the seven divisions in the Sabah west coast north zone, showed that the party’s headquarters was adamant about maintaining control of the state from Kuala Lumpur. -FMT

Sabah’s Ansari quits PKR
About sabahdaily
Sudah banyak kali perkara ini dibangkitkan oleh akar umbi. Namun tak de satu pun yang diendah oleh pimpinan PKR Pusat. Mereka tetap juga meminggirkan pemimpin tempatan.
ReplyDeleteDalam Pilihan Raya Umum yang baru saja berakhir menunjukkan ketidak puasan hati dikalangan pemimpin diperingkat akar umbi yang keluar parti.
ReplyDeleteMereka ini terdiri dari kalangan Ketua Cabang dan Timbalan Ketua Cabang yang jelas menolak pencalonan yang dibuat oleh PKR Pusat.
Ekoran dari bantahan yang dibuat menjadi penyebab kepada kekalahan PKR dalam PRU yang lalu. Ini merupakan bukti kukuh yang PKR memang tolak suara ahli.
ReplyDeletetapi, dipentas - pentas Politik, mereka melaung - laungkan 'Suara Rakyat'. Mereka mendesah Kerajaan agar mengikut 'Suara Rakyat'.
ReplyDeleteWalhal, dalam masa yang sama, mereka sendiri meminggirkan suara dari akar umbi parti mereka sendiri. Tak ke itu menunjukkan sifat Retorik parti PKR ni?
Sudah acap kali Ansari menasihati PKR agar menurunkan pemimpin tempatan dalam PRU yang lalu. Tapi, pemimpin PKR Pusat semuanya jenis pekak tuli. Tu pasal la diorang kalah.
ReplyDeleteJadi, tak payah la PKR nak sibuk - sibuk buat desakan suruh orang lain terima suara mereka sedangkan mereka sendiri buat tak tau je dengan Suara Akar Umbi mereka sendiri. Nak orang je ikut cakap diorang, menda kejadahnya!!!
ReplyDeletePKR bukanlah parti demokrasi, kerana tiada kebebasan bersuara dalam PKR
ReplyDeletekini makin ramai keluar PKR dan PKR kini makin lemah
ReplyDeletePKR akan karam jka ini berterusan
ReplyDeleteAnsari Hj Abdullah today announced quitting PKR. The veteran politician is now under suspension for acting against the party.
ReplyDeleteThe PKR Tuaran chief in a Facebook post noted that he had decided to quit politics much earlier, but out of respect to the requests from friends, withheld the announcement until today.
ReplyDelete“I have lost faith in the Party’s leadership. I am now suspended as a member without any time period. I did not receive a ‘show cause letter’. So much for justice and due process,” he added.
ReplyDeletehas been with PKR for the last 14 and was at one time the State PKR chief, but he fell out of favour when PKR courted former Tuaran MP, Datuk Wilfred Bumburing.
ReplyDeleteWith Bumburing in the equation, Ansari knew chances of him being a candidate in the general election would be tougher; in fact Ansari was only offered the Sulaman state seat, it was learnt.
ReplyDeleteApparently, he wanted Tuaran or Tamparuli instead, but with Bumburing standing firm, Ansari knew his PKR days were numbered.
ReplyDeleteAfter he found himself not among the PKR candidates, Ansari did the unthinkable; he fielded his daughter, also a PKR wanita leader, as an independent in Tuaran.
ReplyDeleteThat ultimately earned him a suspension.
In his brief Facebook statement, Ansari cited the inaugural speech of 1st Caliph Abu Bakr to express his dissatisfaction towards the conduct of PKR central leadership.
ReplyDelete“Oh people, I have been entrusted with authority over you, but I am not the best of you. Help me if I am right and correct me when I am wrong.’ (1st Caliph Abu Bakr’s inaugural speech)
ReplyDelete“2nd Caliph Umar b al-Khattab also asked the people, at his inaugural speech to ‘rectify any aberration’ they might see in him.
“Mu’aradah cannot exist without hurriyat al-ra’y (freedom of expression to criticise and monitor).
ReplyDelete“I criticised the leadership since they were wrong in allowing 2/3 of the seats in Sabah to be contested under Parti KEADILAN’s symbol by non-members in the form of APS (Angkatan Perpaduan Sabah) and PPPS (Pertubuhan Pakatan Perpaduan Sabah),” he explained.
He went on to note that both APS and PPPS lost in all the parliamentary seats they contested and each won a state seat (Tamparuli & Klias).
ReplyDeleteAnsari also thanked all those who have supported and assisted him all these while during his days in PKR.
ReplyDeleteHe did not indicate what he would be doing next in politics, but had previously stated he would consider forming his own party.
