2 WEEKS OF KHALID HAVOC as Sultan due overseas Monday? Tender resignation now - PKR tells MB

2 WEEKS OF KHALID HAVOC as Sultan due overseas Mon? Tender resignation now - PKR tells MB
I refer to the statement of Khalid Ibrahim on 9 Aug 2014 claiming that his sacking from KEADILAN is 'flawed & illegal', that he was not given a ' fair legal process' to respond to the charges and that there was confusion in the charge.
Khalid's claim of a flawed process is a desperate attempt to distract attention from his complete failure to explain his defiance of the decision of the party's Central Leadership Council. His defiance has been public, blatant and intolerable.
In fact, the charge against was him was clearly stated and he was given every opportunity to respond and explain, in accordance with the principles of procedural fairness and natural justice.
The charge said that Khalid had defied the party's decision of 21 July 2014 for Dr Wan Azizah to replace him as MB. It is a simple and clear charge; Khalid's claim that the 'party is confused on the particulars of the allegation' is sheer nonsense.
The Disciplinary Board (DB) in its decision found that on the above ground alone, Khalid deserved to be sacked.
Beyond that the DB went on to note that Khalid has defied the party and Majlis Pakatan Rakyat on various other matters as stated in the letter of the DB to Khalid dated 7 August 2014.
It is absurd for Khalid to claim that the party failed to specify which articles of the party constitution were breached.
Is Khalid suggesting that the party has no power to discipline a member who defies the Central Leadership's decision? As a member of the party's Political Bureau and Leadership Council, Khalid himself has sat in judgement of many disciplinary cases; ridiculously, he now feigns ignorance of the party's disciplinary provisions.
Party has the power to question him
As Khalid is well aware, the DB can inquire into and take action against any misconduct of party members under powers provided in Part XI of the party constitution.
Khalid also claims that he had not been given a postponement of the disciplinary hearing till 15 Aug 2014. This was never a genuine or serious request from Khalid; having asked for the postponement in his letter of 8 August, Khalid promptly issued a legal notice to the party on 9 August!
This in itself is a serious misconduct as under clause 44.1 of the party constitution, no party member may take party matters to court.
In view of the above facts, Khalid's claim of a 'conspiracy of the highest order' is a wild and and outrageous statement.
Having been expelled by his party, the proper, usual and constitutional course for Khalid is to announce immediately that he will hand in his resignation as Menteri Besar to the Ruler at the first opportunity.
