SHAH ALAM, Jan 12 — PKR was forced today to dismiss rumours that Sri Muda assemblyman Shuhaimi Shafiei has decided to quit after a week of intense political pressure from Umno over remarks he made about the Sultan in the Selangor state secretary impasse.
But his absence from the hastily convened press conference has added to the continuing speculation surrounding his status. He also did not turn up at a police station yesterday to have his statement recorded over reports lodged against him for sedition by pro-Umno groups.
Today, PKR Kota Raja vice chief Kamarudzaman Sanusi said that a text message calling for a news conference this morning on Shuhaimi’s alleged resignation announcement was fake.
“You have been sent on a wild goose chase,” Kamarudzaman told reporters today.
“The SMS that you received is a fake SMS,” he added.
