Re: DAP’s anger over the announcement of the resignation of Mohammad Fairus, the Penanti State Assemblyman
Press Release by Wee Choo Keong, MP for Wangsa Maju, a Member of PKR Supreme Council and Deputy Chairman for PKR Wilayah Persekutuan on 21 April 2009 in Kuala Lumpur

I can understand that Tony Pua, the DAP information chief, had to go all out to defend his political master, Lim Guan Eng. I also agree with Tony Pua that Lim Guan Eng had the right to express his disagreement over the failure by the national PKR leadership to inform him of the resignation of Mohammad Fairus as state representative for Penanti state seat on April 16.
Since Lim Guan Eng had openly expressed his views/anger in the press over such matter then Tony Pua must expect responses from PKR. It is only natural that PKR leaders must respond to the DAP leaders’ adverse comments against PKR in the press.
When making press statements, Tony Pua and his DAP colleagues must always bear in mind that PKR, as a political party, has the basic right to self-determination and we need not consult anyone when we had to make a political decision where time is the essence. Similarly, we in the PKR do not expect to be consulted when certain personalities are put forward to be appointed to the Exco in Penang and Selangor even though we know that they are not fit for the job.
In a coalition of political parties, there must be mutual respect among the leaders. No leader of a political party should try to dominate over another otherwise the coalition will not work.

Kenyataan akhbar oleh Wee Choo Keong, Alhi Parlimen Wangsa Maju, ahli Majlis Tertinggi PKR dan Naib Pengerusi PKR Wilayah Persekutuan pada 21 April 2009 di Kuala Lumpur

Saya boleh memahami mengapa Tony Pua, Ketua Maklumat DAP, perlu keluar mempertahankan ketua politiknya, Lim Guan Eng. Saya juga bersetuju dengan Tony Pua bahawa Lim Guan Eng mempunyai hak untuk menyatakan kekecewaannya terhadap kegagalan pucuk pimpinan tahap kebangsaan PKR memaklumkan beliau mengenai perletakan jawatan Mohammad Fairus sebagai wakil rakyat Penanti pada tarikh 16 April lalu.
Oleh kerana Lim Guan Eng telah secara terbuka menyatakan pendapat dan kemarahan beliau secara terbuka mengenai perkara ini maka Tony Pua mesti jangkakan balasan daripada pihak PKR. Memang dalam jangkaan umum bahwa saluran balasan PKR terhadap DAP mesti datang menerusi saluran akhbar juga.
Tatkala membuat kenyataan akhbar, Tony Pua dan rakan-rakannya di DAP harus ingat bahawa PKR, sebagai sebuah parti politik, mempunyai hak untuk membuat keputusan sendiri dan tidak perlu berunding dengan sesiapa apabila kami perlu membuat keputusan politik di mana fakta waktu adalah paling mustahak. Bersamaan ini, kami di PKR tidak jangkan akan dibawa berunding apabila orang tertentu dicadangkan sebagai ahli EXCO di Penang dan Selangor walaupun mereka tidak sesuai untuk jawatan tersebut.
Dalam perikatan parti politik, mesti wujudnya perasaan saling menghormat di kalangan para pemimpin. Tidak patut adanya seorang pemimpin yang cuba hendak menguasai seorang yang lain, jika tidak, perikatan ini tidak akan berjaya.
