PKR party leaders say they are not worried about members quitting their jobs. Fuziah Salleh told reporters that not enough people have quit to shut down any party branches. The party rules say at least two out of every three committee members must quit before a branch closes down. Most branches have only seen a few people leave their positions.

The Lenggong branch shows how this works in practice. Fifteen people quit from a group of thirty-one members there. The rules needed twenty-one people to quit before anything would happen. Fuziah said the party takes every resignation seriously but wants members to talk about problems inside the party first. Leaders watch the situation...
