DCM post given out of pity by Pakatan Rakyat.

‘PKR glad to see Fairus go’

PETALING JAYA: PKR is glad that former Penang Deputy Chief Minister (DCM) Fairus Khairuddin has left the party, said deputy president Dr Syed Husin Ali.
“Since he participated in the Penang government and his departure from then until now, he has always been a liability,” Dr Syed Husin said in a statement Monday.
He said Fairus was forced to step down as DCM because he was being investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and for under-performing in the state government.
Dr Syed Husin also alleged that Fairus had demanded a RM15,000 monthly salary and that the party clear all debts on his two luxury cars.
“There was no reason to concede to these demands. Furthermore, the party does not have the means to do so,” he said.
He also claimed that the DCM’s “job” was given to Fairus out of pity for his wife and children.
Fairus resigned from PKR and joined Umno on Sunday, citing loss of faith in PKR’s leadership. Prior to that, he had also stepped down as Penanti assemblyman, losing his DCM post.
