JOHOR BARU, June 30 ― The reshuffle of the Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) leadership line-ups that took place in Selangor and Perlis last Monday aims to provide opportunities for younger leaders, said AMK chief Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir.
He said that it was also to ensure the continuity of the PKR Youth Wing's leadership in the two states.
“The current leadership (in the two states) will not continue to lead. So it is necessary to give space to the younger leadership so that when we (top leaders) finish holding office in 2023, they can inherit the leadership and as such shoulder their responsibilities from now on.
“Thus, I assessed that there needed to be a reshuffle (in the two states) after the recent PKR Annual National Congress and also for the upcoming General Election (GE) because we want new line-ups (there).
"I just want to remind my colleagues (in AMK) to avoid this matter from becoming a subject of speculation," he told reporters when asked to comment on the main reasons for the reshuffle, here today.
Akmal Nasrullah said that the AMK leadership had held discussions on the matter with the Selangor AMK divisions and that a new candidate to replace the dropped Selangor AMK chief Najwan Halimi would be announced in the near future.
“Similarly, Perlis AMK will follow later, maybe next week or this weekend. The new AMK leaders will organise their leadership line-ups later,” he said.
When asked if the AMK leadership in other states would also be reshuffled, he said that any reshuffle would be based on needs and that an assessment would be made first. ― Bernama
