PKR terima surat dari istana...

PKR hari ini menerima surat dari istana Selangor, dipercayai jawapan kepada pencalonan menteri besar.

"Ya, kami terima surat hari ini," kata Pengarah Komunikasi PKR, Fahmi Fadzil ketika dihubungi Malaysiakini.

Bagaimanapun, katanya, butiran mengenainya hanya akan dinyatakan oleh Setiausaha Agung PKR, Datuk Saifuddin Nasution dalam kenyataannya kemudian.

"Beliau akan mengeluarkan kenyataan dalam masa satu jam akan datang," katanya.

Sementara itu, PKR kemudiannya mengedarkan kenyataan Saifuddin berkenaan isi kandungan surat daripada istana.

Namun, tidak lama selepas itu, ia ditarik balik, seperti dimaklumkan Fahmi kepada media.

"Harap maklum bahawa teks yang dihantar tadi belum dimuktamadkan.

"Ia ditarik balik, dan berstatus tidak sah untuk digunakan," kata Fahmi dalam kenyataannya.

Sumber: Minta lebih nama

Beberapa jam sebelum kenyataan itu, wujud spekulasi bahawa surat istana itu meminta lebih nama calon menteri besar dikemukakan.

Sebelum ini, sebuah kereta rasmi istana dilihat di hadapan ibu pejabat PKR di Petaling Jaya.

Tarikh akhir bagi Pakatan Rakyat mengemukakan pencalonan mereka untuk jawatan menteri besar ialah hari ini.

PKR mengemukakan calon tunggalnya, presidennya, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, untuk jawatan tersebut, semalam. - mk

PKR receives letter from palace...

PKR today received a letter from the Selangor palace, believed to be a reply to its menteri besar nomination.

"Yes, we received a letter today," PKR's communications director Fahmi Fadzil told Malaysiakini when contacted at about 8pm.

PKR's secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution (right) later issued a statement on the letter, but retracted it saying the statement's content is not finalised.

The party is expected to send a revised statement tomorrow.

However, hours before the statement was issued, sources close to PKR leadership told Malaysiakini that the palace had sent a brief letter reiterating its instructions that PKR nominate "more than two" candidates. 

The sultan had before this instructed all three Pakatan Rakyat parties submit "more than two" candidates each by today.

PKR and DAP had submitted only PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail's name while PAS nominated Wan Azizah (left) and PKR number two Azmin Ali.

When contacted, Selangor DAP chief Tony Pua said he is unaware of any letter from the palace to DAP.

PAS secretary general Mustafa Ali could not be reached.

The call for candidates was made after incumbent Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim informed the palace of his intention to resign.

This was after 30 out of 56 Selangor assemblypersons pledged support for Wan Azizah as menteri besar.

Khalid was sacked from PKR after refusing to make way for Wan Azizah to be MB.- mk
