PUTRAJAYA: A group of youths on motorcycles created a ruckus at an event supposedly attended by PKR vice-president Zuraida Kamaruddin, urging the party's central leadership committee to sack her.
They were seen carrying flags, with words ‘MPP Pecat Zuraida’ (Central Leadership Council Sack Zuraida), during the launch of 'Ops Selamat', organised by the Fire and Rescue Department at the Dengkil Rest and Recreation area (southbound) parking lot.
Zuraida, who is the Housing and Local Government Minister, however, did not attend the event. She was represented by Fire and Rescue Department director-general Datuk Mohammad Hamdan Wahid.
It was unclear if the youths were from PKR or another group as none of them were wearing any party symbol.
The group simply rode passed the area and dispersed immediately.
Their presence however did not disrupt the running of the event as the youths arrived just before it ended.
It was recently reported that Zuraida was slapped with a show-cause letter on claims of disciplinary misconduct.
PKR secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said that the letter, issued by the party’s disciplinary board, was delivered to Zuraida on Jan 17.
He said Zuraida had 14 days to provide an explanation, after which the board would decide on the next course of action against her.
Zuraida, a staunch ally of PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, has been accused of insulting party members and publicly disclosing details of a private conversation with party president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
