Joceline Tan is wrong in this article.
What PKR has done in Selangor is not just good governance, but also visionary. By separating the party from the state in Selangor, PKR has leapt ahead of other parties. The party administration must be separate from the state administration. These two serve different roles. They must not be mixed.
It is unfortunate that the changes were actually made by PKR out of necessity, not because of principle. The challenge now therefore is to see if the new Selangor PKR chief will stay out of the affairs of the state.
The role of PKR Selangor, now led by Azmin Ali, must be to strengthen the PR administration of Selangor under Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim. Azmin must sedar diri and realise that he is there to strengthen Tan Sri Khalid. If Azmin instead weakens Tan Sri Khalid, then it is Azmin who does not understand his role.
