Zuraida: Nothing new about Nurul Izzah quitting
KUALA LUMPUR: There is nothing new about Nurul Izzah Anwar’s spate of resignations from various positions, says a senior PKR leader.
Commenting on the Permatang Pauh member of parliament’s latest resignation from the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), PKR vice-president Zuraida Kamaruddin offered a nonchalant view on the matter.
“Nurul Izzah’s resignations are nothing new. (On Dec 18) she had resigned (from her) Technical and Vocational Education Training Task Force (TVET) chairman and PKR vice-president posts,” Zuraida said at the Parliament lobby.
Nurul Izzah had also resigned as Penang PKR chairman on Dec 18.
Zuraida said earlier, she had proposed that those who disagreed with the current PAC lineup to meet with the relevant minister for a discussion to resolve the matter amicably.
Nurul Izzah said she had resigned from PAC following the committee’s chairmanship by a lawmaker from the ruling party, which went against Pakatan Harapan’s manifesto.
“However, before any meeting could take place, a public statement had been issued (about her resignation). So I cannot do anything,” Zuraida said.
On PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Azmin Ali’s “crybaby” tweet which is construed as a jibe against Nurul Izzah, Zuraida said: “I don’t know to whom he is referring to as a crybaby, because I don’t see any name tagged there (in the posting).”
