IPOH, Dec 3 — The Perak PKR today said it will not support the motion of confidence in Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu to be tabled in the next state assembly meeting.

State PKR vice-chairman Tan Kar Hing said the motion was from Umno Pengkalan Baru assemblyman Datuk Abdul Manaf Hashim and has nothing to do with Pakatan Harapan.

“We did not know whether the motion was submitted in order to show support and loyalty or otherwise.

“So as our natural position in the state as the Opposition we will not give our support to the Mentri Besar,” he told a press conference at the PKR Office in Medan Istana here.
