BUTTERWORTH, May 4 — All members of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) are reminded to avoid a rift that can result in a split in the party but rather continue to champion the ideals of the party that was incepted 25 years ago.

“If there is a rift, there will be a split and once there is a split, the party will break up, so let us together build the party. Don’t let our struggles end,” she said in her speech at the 25th Year Anniversary of Penang Keadilan,” here today.

The former Deputy Prime Minister was also sad that PKR vice president Nurul Izzah Anwar lost in Permatang Pauh (Parliamentary seat) during the 15th General Election (GE15) although Permatang Pauh was regarded as PKR’s fortress.

Though PKR failed to defend the party’s traditional seat in the last GE, Wan Azizah who is also a former Member of Parliament for Permatang Pauh said the party will continue the struggles since it is the birthplace of PKR president and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s ‘reformasi’ movement.
