PETALING JAYA: A PKR Youth leader has warned his DAP counterparts against crossing the line after one of them demanded opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim apologise for abandoning opposition to the second reading of the federal budget.
The DAP Youth leader, Teh Hoong Keat, who is its national secretary, had also called for Pakatan Harapan (PH) to be disbanded should Anwar fail to apologise for instructing against a bloc vote on the 2021 budget in the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday.
PH leaders have come under heavy criticism after the opposition failed to muster the support of 15 MPs to force a bloc vote.
This subsequently led to the budget being passed in the Dewan Rakyat through a voice vote.
In a statement, Selangor PKR Youth chief Najwan Halimi said PH lost control of the government when Anwar was not in the Cabinet and as such, it was unfair that he has to shoulder all the burden now.
He added that over the past 20 years, Anwar had helped strengthen the bonds between opposition parties.
“DAP Youth and its secretary should not cross the line with unreasonable statements before referring to their own party leaders,” he said, adding that such a comment was uncalled for.
“Let us return to focusing on helping our leadership return the mandate of the people and retake Putrajaya.”
