KUALA LUMPUR: PKR will not hesitate to take firm action against any party that continues to spread slander or baseless allegations against the party leadership, said its Secretary-General, Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh.
She said PKR views seriously recent viral posts attempting to link the party leadership to allegations of receiving sums of money to settle matters related to certain interests, including claims involving elements of a “corporate mafia”.
“Legal action will be considered and taken where appropriate, whether against individuals within or outside the party,” she said in a statement on Wednesday.
She said PKR stressed that such accusations are easily made, especially by those desperate to deflect from their own wrongdoing or misconduct.
As such, she said any allegations made without solid evidence should not be treated as facts, let alone used to tarnish the reputation of individuals or the party.
Fuziah said the party remains committed to upholding the integrity of its leadership and ensuring that any allegations raised are addressed through proper channels and based on facts, not perception or specific agendas.
In this regard, she urged all parties to act responsibly in disseminating information and to avoid spreading unverified claims that could mislead the public and affect the country’s political stability. – BERNAMA
