In response to queries regarding Salleh’s status as PKR member, Anwar said the former UMNO minister was welcome to join PKR as the party had no problems accepting him.
Then, in his signature “yes-no-perhaps” tailspin that could confuse even an Einstein, Anwar added that the party needed to consider the sentiments of grassroots, meaning, PKR isn’t sure yet if it has a problem accepting Salleh.
In other words, the party is confused…
SUBANG JAYA: Earlier today, the man who says what everyone thinks he is saying but actually isn’t saying, Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, said something about Dato’ Seri Salleh Said Keruak.
In response to queries regarding Salleh’s status as PKR member, Anwar said the former UMNO minister was welcome to join PKR as the party had no problems accepting him.
Then, in his signature “yes-no-perhaps” tailspin that could confuse even an Einstein, Anwar added that the party needed to consider the sentiments of grassroots, meaning, PKR isn’t sure yet if it has a problem accepting Salleh.
In other words, the party is confused…
According to a news report, Anwar explained that Salleh is automatically a PKR member by virtue of him having submitted an application to be a party member.
However, the PKR president was quick to add that the party central leadership wanted to be given time to further discuss his application.
Then he said it did not mean that PKR would reject Salleh’s application.
“We have to understand the process (of becoming a party member). Anyone who applies (to be a member), is automatically a member. However, if the name (of the applicant) is known, we refer to the states and divisions for their views.
“PKR has no problem to accept him, but we need to take into account the sentiments of members at the grassroots level, and the process is ongoing,” he told reporters after attending the Sabah PKR Convention here today.
Yes, the jury is still out there…somewhere…
