KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has reminded party leaders, who have been absent from PKR's monthly meetings, to attend them if they want to discuss matters.

“This is a trivial question which I do not want to discuss here.

“Just come for the meetings and we can discuss, ” the PKR president told reporters after delivering a keynote address at the Sixth International Conference on History and Culture here on Tuesday (Sept 3).

He was asked to comment on claims by PKR vice-president Zuraida Kamaruddin that she had sent three letters to him seeking a reconciliation meeting between the two factions in PKR.

However, on Monday (Sept 2), PKR secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail shot down Zuraida's request for a reconciliation meeting, saying that anyone who wishes to reconcile with Anwar should attend the monthly party meetings.

Last week, Zuraida said that Anwar had yet to meet with key party leaders in an effort to reconcile with them, amid their absence from some party meetings.

When asked how long PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Azmin Ali would be immune from disciplinary action from "boycotting" the monthly meetings, Anwar said he was unaware of such a boycott.

“I do not know if it is a boycott or not.

“What I know is that he has been absent, and I have advised him that he must attend, ” said Anwar.

Previously, Anwar had said no action would be taken against Azmin for his absence as the latter had already explained himself.

The PKR president said Azmin was not immune from disciplinary action but had always given reason for his absence.

On another matter, Anwar said he considered the issue over his succession to the post of prime minister as "settled".

"I am not worried about this. The transition is a settled affair," he said, adding that it was more important to focus on issues such as poverty eradication, economic growth and justice.
