Anwar leaves it to PKR legal committee on action against Lee Chean Chung

Anwar leaves it to PKR legal committee on action against Lee Chean Chung

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has stated that any decision on possible legal action against Lee Chean Chung will be left to the PKR secretary-general and Legal Committee. This comes after Lee resigned as the Petaling Jaya member of Parliament, following PKR's suspension of his membership for three years.

Lee's resignation was announced on the same day he informed Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul of his decision. According to The Vibes, Lee cited his inability to speak out on issues affecting his constituents and the country as the reason for his resignation, despite being an MP.

Lee had raised several issues prior to his suspension, including the Urban Renewal Act, foreign worker recruitment, Sales and Service Tax, university admission for STPM holders, and guidelines for places of worship in Selangor. He also alleged that access to certain information was restricted, specifically referencing RM3.
