Its secretary-general, Fuziah Salleh, said at least two-thirds, or 18 out of 26 committee members, must resign for the wing to be considered dissolved.

“The total number of elected members is 18, and an additional eight may be appointed, making a maximum of 26. To meet the two-thirds threshold, at least 18 members must resign.

“Firstly, 17 resigned, then three withdrew, followed by another one. The latest figure of those who resigned is 13,” she told FMT.

Earlier today, former Selayang PKR Youth leaders claimed the division had effectively ceased to function following a wave of resignations in early May.

Former deputy youth chief Amir Sahmat told FMT that 17 members had submitted their resignations in a letter dated May 7 addressed to Fuziah and PKR Youth secretary Omar Mokhtar A Manap.

Although some leaders retracted their resignations following internal appeals, he said, 14 stood firm.

Amir also said the group had sent three letters to Fuziah – on May 7, June 4 and June 18 – but had yet to receive a formal reply.

However, Fuziah maintained that the number of committee members who resigned did not support the dissolution claim, and the process outlined in the party constitution must be followed.

Omar also confirmed that two-thirds of both the elected and appointed members must resign for the wing to be dissolved, but the appointed members have not been named yet.

“So, one cannot claim the wing is defunct just based on resignations by the elected members, without accounting for the appointed positions, it’s premature,” he told FMT.

He also questioned the timing of the resignations, as they came just after the results of the elections were announced, and before the internal processes of confirming the results were completed.

“Why resign before even attending one meeting?” he said.

Omar said PKR Youth will meet with the Selayang committee this week to find common ground and resolve the matter.
