A party that asking all the time from the public

PKR reps told to collect money

PETALING JAYA: PKR elected representatives and councillors in Selangor have been asked to solicit at least RM2mil in donations from the public before the next general election.
The state PKR has directed executive councillors to collect up to RM50,000 each, while MPs are supposed to solicit at least RM22,000 each.
Assemblymen have to collect RM30,000 each and municipal or city councillors are required to get RM20,000 each.
The state party treasury had issued more than 1,500 “certificates of appreciation” to the Mentri Besar, eight MPs, four executive councillors, eight assemblymen, and about 80 local councillors.
Signatures of party president Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Selangor PKR chairman Azmin Ali and treasurer Datin Paduka Dr Tan Yee Kew are on the certificates of appreciation for donations of RM500, RM1,000, RM2,000 and RM3,000.
Dr Tan said it was part of the party’s ongoing donation drive to collect funds for the general election.
“We are introducing this certificate system so donors are assured that the money will end in the party’s coffers and not in anyone’s pocket.”
She also denied claims that the donors might seek favours in the future if Pakatan Rakyat were to succeed as they could use the certificates to show proof of their support.
“I think this is an attempt to sabotage this transparent fund-raising system, which is similar to the system used by political parties in the United States.
“Corporate giants are shying away from us. That is why we have to depend on the public and small-time businesses for support,” she said.
Dr Tan also stressed that the donation drive was carried out on a voluntary basis.
She had been asked to comment on dissatisfaction expressed by some elected representatives who said they were forced to solicit funds from the public.
An elected representative said some councillors were forcing contractors to donate if they wanted to bid for projects.

tunku : this is the party that asking all the time and gives back nothing to the people. its leaders lives in luxury, traveling here and there, buying properties etc. why do they need public to sponsor them? they are the one that should spend money not the public. as for the certification thing, it is just a another drama to show that money receives from donations will end in the party’s coffers and not in anyone’s pocket.this is just from the public, what about the kickbacks receives from the companies that are getting state's projects ? what about the "donation" receives by private companies ? fund from abroad ? if you want it to be transparent, issue certificate for those "donation" too. don't try to fools the people out there with your political dramas. most of the other "donations" are going in the top leaders pocket.the grassroot leaders like fools working hard for the top leaders to live in luxury.they have to spend their own money to do things for party.they are only given empty promises by top leaders especially the moron anwar ibrahim.
