Lee Chean Chung hints at quitting as PJ MP

He says there is a ‘very strong’ possibility his constituents may lose their MP due to PKR’s failure to take disciplinary action against him.

Lee Chean Chung hints at quitting as PJ MP

Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung has suggested that the constituency may lose its elected representative due to the party's inaction against him. Lee is among several PKR MPs barred from accessing the MyKhas portal. Speaking at a Bersama event in Petaling Jaya, Lee stated he had responded to PKR's disciplinary board, asking for appropriate punishment if they no longer shared the same views.

He warned that if Petaling Jaya loses its MP, the blame should fall on PKR for failing to enforce discipline, not on him for resigning. Another MP who attended the same event, Wong Chen, recently resigned as Subang MP and left PKR to join Bersama. Lee defended his presence at the Bersama launch, pointing out that PKR MPs can attend other political events.

He also supported DAP's demand for equal constituency allocations for all MPs, regardless of political allegiance. Lee resigned from PKR's central leadership council in June, a week after losing access to MyKhas. Despite this, he pledged to stay as a PKR member and serve in the Dewan Rakyat until Parliament is dissolved.
