Nik Aziz Described 'Pakatan Rakyat' As An 'infant'

KOTA BAHARU, Nov 26 (Bernama) -- Pas spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat described the 'Pakatan Rakyat' as immature and still in its infancy in facing varous conflicts and differences of opinions between Pas, Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and DAP.

Nik Aziz, who is also Kelantan Menteri Besar, said there were bound to be differences in opinion between the three partners due to the young age of the coalition.

However, he said it was not proper for those outside the coalition to place excessive pressure on the coalition for the differences in opinion and problems within the respective parties in the Pakatan Rakyat.

"The Pakatan Rakyat was newly formed and it's like a new-born baby. We can't place a burden on the baby," he told reporters here Wednesday.

Nik Aziz said this when asked to comment on the cooperation policy of the Pakatan Rakyat following the internal crisis between the three parties in Selangor that led to the dismissal of Shah Alam Member of Parliament Khalid Abdul Samad as Pas Deputy Commissioner II.

The Agenda Daily website today reported the dismissal by Selangor Pas Commissioner Datuk Dr Hassan Mohamed Ali because "Khalid is seen as frequently defending the actions of Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim and would disagree on any protest made by Selangor Pas against the actions of the Selangor Menteri Besar".

However, Nik Abdul Aziz refused to comment on the action taken by Dr Hassan in dropping Khalid.
