KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 25 — PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said last night that Kulim MP Zulkilfi Noordin will face disciplinary action by the party.
Anwar said Zulkifli had crossed the line and that he was disappointed with him.
“I have always given him room to express himself but I have not always agreed with him.
“I have advised him not to cause any tension among our partners but he has crossed the line this time,” Anwar told reporters at Pakatan Rakyat’s road show here.
Zulkifli, known for his hardline Islamic views, had lodged a police report against the PAS’ Khalid Samad for making a statement that a Selangor enactment which prohibited non-Muslims from using the word “Allah” and other Islamic terms was “outdated.”
Anwar confirmed that he has written to Zulkifli and was expecting an explanation before Tuesday.
“I have emailed him so that he will give an explanation because I want to refer this case to the party’s disciplinary committee and political bureau which will hold a meeting this Tuesday. I hope he can provide his answer before that,” he added.
Anwar also questioned why Zulkifli never referred his grievances to the party leadership.
“I am forced to ask the party leadership to propose appropriate action against him.
“He should have come to us; why can’t you bring it to the party leadership? He never conveyed [the matter] to us,” he said.
The PKR Youth wing has also blasted Zulkifli and described his action as “very Umno-like.”
Youth leader Syamsul Iskandar called on party leaders to take stern action.
However, Anwar believes that Zulkifli should be given a chance to explain himself.
“I don’t believe in the demand of sacking before due process and [I am now] allowing him to explain,” he explained.
The police report against Khalid is not Zulkifli’s first “renegade” act that has placed him at odds with his party and Pakatan Rakyat as a coalition.
The Kulim MP, who was formerly with PAS, has acted in ways seen to be detrimental to the opposition pact in the past.
One example was when he played a role in the demonstration against the Bar Council outside the body’s headquarters.
The protest, held by far-right Umno-affiliated groups and other conservative NGOs, was organised to disrupt the Bar Council’s seminar on the jurisdiction crisis between the Syariah and the civil courts.
Despite his involvement, action was also not taken against him then. - The Malaysian Insider
STONE: Tindakan yang tepat demi menjaga hubungan baik antara parti dalam Pakatan. YB Zul tak sepatut mengambil tindakan sebegitu rupa. Apa pandangan pengundi/rakyat terhadap wakil-wakil rakyat mereka kalau beginilah perangainya?

Rasanya utk masa akan datang, calon2 yg di rasakan bermasalah dengan kepimpinan patut dikeluarkan. Pemimpin2 yg macam ni betol2 memalukan. Malu rakyat yg memilih.
