PENGERUSI GERAK LETAK JAWATAN, SERTAI PKR (DWIBAHASA)

Pengerusi GERAK letak jawatan, mungkin sertai PKR

Gerakan Rakyat Integriti dan Anti Korupsi (GERAK Malaysia) mengumumkan peletakan jawatan pengerusinya, Mohd Nazree Mohd Yunus berkuatkuasa serta merta hari ini untuk menyertai bidang politik.

Keputusan ini dibuat setelah perbincangan dibuat bersama ahli majlis tertinggi GERAK Malaysia dan merupakan keputusan Mohd Nazri sendiri.

"Beliau telah memaklumkan kepada majlis tertinggi dan sukarelawan Gerak dalam siri-siri pertemuan bersama mereka berkaitan hasratnya untuk meletak jawatan bagi menyertai politik.

"Ia bertujuan supaya supaya Gerak Malaysia terus kekal sebagai badan bebas, neutral dan non-partisan dalam usaha badan ini berjuang membudayakan integriti dan anti korupsi," kata kenyataan sekretariat GERAK.

Sementara itu, Mohd Nazri disebut-sebut akan menyertai PKR.

Pemuda PKR pula mengumumkan akan mengadakan sidang akhbar khas esok, yang besar kemungkinan akan mengumumkan penyertaan Mohd Nazree dalam PKR.

Nazree sebelum ini pernah membuat laporan polis terhadap Menteri Besar Selangor, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim kepada Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) berhubung agihan lembu korban di kawasan parlimennya di Bandar Tun Razak sewaktu Hari Raya Korban.

Former Gerak head Mohd Nazree to join PKR


KUALA LUMPUR, 23 Jan: Former student leader Mohd Nazree Yunus is set to join PKR Youth and the official announcement is due to be made as early as Sunday, PKR insiders told Harakahdaily.

Mohd Nazree took over the helm of Gerak or Integrity and Anti-Corruption Movement after former PKR Youth chief Ezam Mohd Noor defected to Umno in May 2008. He has since resigned from Gerak, sparking a swirl of speculation that he was about to make his entree into politics.

“His joining PKR is a decision by the Youth wing. They believe he can add value to the party and to the Pakatan family," the PKR insider told Harakahdaily.

"It is hard to say if it is a good decision because there are some members who worry that he may cause trouble later on. However, he is being welcomed with an open mind and there are high hopes that he expand the reach of the Youth wing."

A thing of the past

Of late, Gerak appears to have stood more on the side of the Umno-BN rather than the Pakatan Rakyat. A good example is the police report Mohd Nazree lodged against PKR Mentri Besar of Selangor Khalid Ibrahim.

The Gerak chief accused Khalid of abusing his powers by spending RM110,400 of state funds to buy 46 cows during the Hari Raya korban or sacrifice festival. The cattle was slaughtered and distributed to Khalid’s constituents in Bandar Tun Razak.

Despite the frivolous nature of the allegation, it stirred up heat for PKR as Selangor Umno leaders such as former MB Khir Toyo seized on the opportunity to discredit Khalid and his state administration.

Mohd Nazree was formerly the head of the Universiti Malaya Muslim Students Association.
