PETALING JAYA - PAS has criticised DAP over the dismissal of Penang PAS treasurer Iszuree Ibrahim from his municipal council posts, stating that it goes against the concept of freedom of speech.
Penang PAS communications secretary Fadhil Kemi said the manner of Iszuree’s dismissal by Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng was no different from the Sedition Act which Pakatan Rakyat is fighting to repeal.
“First off the chief minister failed to present a show cause letter to the exco members of PAS, then, he refused to meet with PAS on Sept 24 to resolve the issue relating to the ‘spicy’ statement by Iszuree during the PAS muktamar in Johor.
“The statement made by our representative during the muktamar was based on facts and a memorandum that was endorsed by our branch,” Fadhli said in a statement, Saturday.
It had been reported that during his speech at the PAS muktamar last week, Iszuree had said that the Penang state government was more focused on the interest of developers than the people.
Fadhil further alleged that there was never room for discussion with the state government and anything brought up during the initial stages of any agenda usually came in the form of a directive.
Penang PAS treasurer Iszuree Ibrahim was removed from all committee posts in the Penang Municipal Council (MPPP).
His allocations have also been suspended.
Iszuree was informed of his removal via a letter on Friday signed by MPPP secretary Ang Aing Thye who stated that the decision was made at the state executive council meeting on Thursday.
