Media Statement by Teresa Kok, DAP National Vice Chairperson and MP for Seputeh in Kuala Lumpur on Friday, June 19, 2015

Yesterday, PAS’ newly-appointed election director Datuk Mustafa Ali said that Pakatan Rakyat (PR) is not dead but only “pengsan” (fainted). This is another laughable remark by the PAS leaders on the meaning and consequences of PAS Muktamr motion to sever ties with DAP.
His remarks also prove that he has not accepted the reality that PAS has killed off PR and that PR no longer exists.
It is undeniable that the death of PR has caused disappointment to many supporters who have placed much hope on the coalition, but the fact is that PAS 61st Muktamar motion to sever ties with DAP has resulted in PR’s death.
Although some PAS leaders have been arguing that the Muktamar’s decision is not final, the fact is that the Muktamar is the highest decision making body of PAS and the clear cut motion was meant to sever ties with DAP immediately.
Mustafa and many PAS leaders are political veterans and there is no way that they did not understand the meaning and effect of the clear cut motion.
It is also most misleading and incorrect for Mustafa to say that DAP has chosen to leave PR.
DAP did not make any decision to sever ties with PAS or PKR. It was the repeated violation of PR Common Policy Framework and the consensus operational principle as well the PAS Muktamar decision to sever ties with DAP that has killed off PR.
The question of DAP leaving PR does not therefore arise as PAS Muktamar motion has effectively killed caused PR and PR has therefore ceased to exist.
Mustaffa should not therefore attempt to shift the blame for PR’s demise on the DAP, especially when he is totally aware that for close to a year, PR has existed only in name but not in fact due to PAS president Hadi Awang’s violations of the Leadership Council ‘s decisions .
DAP is aware of the aspirations of many Malaysians wanting to see a political change in the country. But the sad and cruel reality is that the PAS 61 st PAS Muktamar motion to sever ties with DAP had killed PR.
The DAP will work with Parti KeADILan Rakyat and all other forces who aspire to see the end of UMNO/Barisan Nasional’s one-party rule to reshape and realign Malaysian politics with the aim of winning Putrajaya for the people.

（吉隆坡19日讯）行动党全国副主席郭素沁说，伊党新任竞选委员会主席拿督慕斯达法指民联没死，只是“晕倒”的说法是非常可笑及离谱的。
她说，无论伊党领袖事后如何解释或自圆其说，伊党大会通过的“跟行动党断交”议案，已致死民联政治组合，而民联已不复存在。
“其言论证明他不愿接受伊党已致死民联的事实。”
也是士布爹区国会议员的郭素沁指出，伊党大会与行动党断交的议案的内容及意思是非常清楚的。慕斯达法身为一位资深的政治领袖，没有理由不知道通过该议案的后果，因为伊党大会是伊党的最高决策机构。
她表示，此外， 慕斯达法指行动党退出民联的说法，是不正确及有误导性的，他旨在将民联之死亡归罪于行动党。
“事实是，过去一年伊党主席哈迪阿旺一再违反民联理事会的决定，已使到民联“有名无实”，无法有效操作，而伊党大会的议案将民联致死于死地。”
“无可否认，虽然民联的终结使许多支持者大失所望，但是行动党将继续努力促成一个汇集百川及原则鲜明的联盟，俯顺人民渴求改变的愿望，打造一个民主公正的马来西亚。”
