00:00We have been very tolerant also to different views.
00:08However, I believe that since we are one party,
00:13I believe there are also internal channels that perhaps YB Hassan Karim have not fully explored.
00:20PKR's new Secretary-General, Fuzia Saleh, has urged Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Karim to avoid making public statements.
00:29Instead, she said Hassan should raise his concerns through internal party channels before airing his views in public.
00:37If we can address his concerns using internal mechanisms,
00:42I'm sure we should do that rather than for him to go to the media and paint a picture that he's not being heard.
00:52It's okay to have different views. It's okay to disagree.
00:58But however, again, we must balance between internal channels of communication and making public.
01:08Fuzia said while PKR values diversity of thought, party discipline was paramount,
01:14and airing grievances publicly could lead to schism.
01:18Earlier this year, Hassan said he was ready to face disciplinary action if the party took offense to his outspoken views on various issues.
01:27However, Fuzia said PKR has no plans to take action against Hassan at the moment.
01:34Hassan has been a vocal critic of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's administration.
01:39More recently, he criticized Anwar, the PKR president, for the proposal to allow convicts to serve their sentences under house arrest.
