Wong Chen quits PKR to join Bersama

The former Subang MP leaves PKR after nearly two decades with the party.

Wong Chen quits PKR to join Bersama

Wong Chen, a three-term MP for Subang, has recently left the PKR party to join Bersama, according to a press conference held by Bersama leader Rafizi Ramli at the party's headquarters in Puchong. This move comes just days after Wong announced his resignation from his parliamentary position, a role he had held since 2018. Wong's decision to leave PKR was anticipated, as he had previously expressed his intention to depart the party following the departure of Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad from their parliamentary seats to lead Bersama.

Wong was among three PKR MPs whose access to the MyKhas constituency funding portal was terminated after they attended Bersama's launch event in May. The other two individuals affected were Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail and Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung. Prior to his political career, Wong served as the non-executive chairman of Malaysia Debt Ventures Bhd, but was removed from this position in May.
