Sabah PKR deputy chairperson Mustafa Sakmud has taken issue with the possible entry of former chief minister Salleh Said Keruak into the party, decrying Salleh as a "staunch supporter" of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak.

The possible entry of Salleh (above) into PKR is not just a backdoor issue but one which could have a severe negative impact and prove a liability to a party that is calling for reforms and change based on the values of truth and justice, he said in a statement today.
