The forced resignation of Penang executive councillor Afif Bahardin yesterday signalled the start of an apparent purge of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) leaders who had supported the party's sacked deputy president Azmin Ali.
With Datuk Seri Azmin now a leading figure in the Muhyiddin Yassin government, his allies who remained in PKR are being labelled "traitors" by loyalists of party president Anwar Ibrahim.
