PKR Records Over 5,000 New Members Between April And May – YB Fahmi Fadzil

KUALA LUMPUR, May 27 -- PKR recorded more than 5,000 new members between April and this month, said PKR information chief Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. Fahmi, who is also Communications Minister, said the increase was achieved without any major programmes or specific promotional efforts by the party. “For PKR itself, with a membership of more than one million, we have seen that from April to May alone, without any major programmes and through organic growth without promotion, the number of new PKR members exceeded 5,000. “PKR will continue to serve as the backbone of the Unity Government while playing a role in ensuring the reform agenda and the people’s aspirations are realised,” he told reporters after attending the Lembah Pantai Korban Perdana Perpaduan programme in conjunction with Aidiladha here today. He said this when asked to comment on claims that a new party had received about 18,000 membership applications within five days of its relaunch. On this year’s korban programme, Fahmi said the Lembah Pantai Member of Parliament’s Office had contributed 72 cows throughout the constituency. Fahmi, who is Lembah Pantai MP, said 10 of the cows were managed at the main site of the Lembah Pantai Korban Perdana Perpaduan programme today. He said the contributions involved distribution to surau, mosques, residents’ associations and neighbourhood committees in the area. Fahmi said the programme was also attended by representatives from Unity Government component parties, including Lembah Pantai Amanah, UMNO and PKR. “I believe programmes like this can strengthen ties and the spirit of unity among the public, communities and friends within the Unity Government component parties,” he said. -- BERNAMA
