‘Anina the first victim of PPBM power struggle’

GKCM chief Kamarulzaman says the PPBM Srikandi patron was victimised by political games within the party itself

KUALA LUMPUR: The patron of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) Srikandi (women), Anina Saadudin, was the first victim of power struggle in the party, said former supreme council (MPT) member Kamarulzaman Habibur Rahman.

The chairperson of Gabungan Ketua Cawangan Malaysia (GKCM) said the whole fiasco involving Anina was unfortunate as her fate remains unavenged to this day.

“The Anina episode is very unfortunate. The PPBM Srikandi was victimised by political games within the party itself.

“She was the first one to fall victim to the power struggle in PPBM, and her fate is unavenged, even though the decision was made by only a few people,” he said at a press conference today.

Kamarulzaman added that some of the decisions made had never received the consent of PPBM chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Kamarulzaman had earlier announced that he was resigning from all his posts in PPBM and quitting as a member of the party.

He said PPBM has been ruined as it has been diverted from its initial path by those with a personal agenda and who are close to president Muhyiddin Yassin and vice-president Mukhriz Mahathir.

He then commented on the plight of founding member of Anina, who lost the Srikandi chief post after being caught in a controversy.

In December last year, Anina was stripped of her post after party secretary-general Shahruddin Md Salleh said the women’s wing was not yet established.

Anina believed that it was done in relation to a lurid text messaging scandal that she was implicated in the week before.

Still a PPBM supreme council member, the outspoken leader has recently commented that there is no possibility of her taking on that role again in the future.
