PKR will not take disciplinary action against party deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali and Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak, the political secretary of party president Anwar Ibrahim, said its secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail (photo).
"We leave it to the wisdom of the authorities. We will not take any action (against both leaders)," he said after attending an anti-corruption forum in Petaling Jaya this evening.
He said the party will act on a case by case basis over the alleged wrongdoing involving party members.
Internal action will normally be taken after the due process of police investigation and prosecution, including the disposal of the appeal process in court, according to him.
"Our stand is clear, we reject gutter politics. This is something new that has yet to be brought to my attention," he said, referring to the six sex video clips released earlier today and implicating the economic affairs minister.
The police had named Farhash as the main suspect in a rioting incident outside the Arena All Stars sports complex in Ampang on the night of Aug 31.
Saifuddin, who is also the domestic trade and consumer affairs minister said the cabinet did not discuss the targeted petrol subsidy during its weekly meeting yesterday.
He said this was because his ministry was still waiting for its turn to table the cabinet paper on targeted petrol subsidy in the cabinet meeting.
Proposed under Budget 2019, the petrol subsidy scheme is only applicable to cars under 1,500cc and motorcycles under 125cc.
Cars will be eligible for a subsidy of 30 sen and motorcycles 12 sen per litre of RON95 petrol, limited to two cars and two motorcycles per household.
