Amirudin said Tengku Zafrul, the senior political adviser to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, was appointed to reflect the party president’s personal focus on Pandan.

“We want to overhaul the parliamentary service centre in Pandan, including its operations and personnel,” he said at a PKR event in Pandan, adding that Tengku Zafrul would represent Anwar in the area.

Amirudin said Anwar had personally requested the appointment, as Tengku Zafrul had sought a more active or aggressive role in Selangor.

This follows the recent resignations of Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad as MPs for Pandan and Setiawangsa, respectively, and from PKR, to take over Parti Bersama Malaysia and pursue a new political direction for themselves and their supporters.

Amirudin said the Selangor PKR leadership would monitor the party’s chapters in Pandan and Ampang over the next one to three months.

“If all goes well, we will proceed with the existing management structure. We want to ensure all parties are committed,” he said.

He said that while space would be provided for anyone unhappy with the newly announced arrangement to share their views, all party members shoud allow the leadership to manage the situation.
