Rakyat mahu penyelesaian, bukan pertunjukan, Chean Chung diberitahu

Timbalan setiausaha agung PKR mendakwa bekas Ahli Parlimen Petaling Jaya itu tidak menghadiri kebanyakan mesyuarat berkaitan isu penduduk setempat.

Rakyat mahu penyelesaian, bukan pertunjukan, Chean Chung diberitahu

Lee Chean Chung resigned from his position as the MP for Petaling Jaya early this morning after PKR suspended his affiliation for three years. Bryan Ng, Deputy Secretary-General of PKR, claimed that former Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung did not attend many meetings related to local issues, including flood mitigation and Petaling Jaya Local Design (RTPJ).

RTPJ is a crucial process determining the direction of Petaling Jaya's development, including land use, traffic, public amenities, and future urban planning. To address the problems faced by the people, one must first attend the solution meetings. The people want solutions, not just displays. Simply raising issues in the media is insufficient; at the same time, not attending the meetings intended to find resolutions is not acceptable.

Lee should not only speak about the supposed lack of space but also explain to the people about the space that has been provided but not utilized, according to his statement in the follow-up resignation announcement. It is reported that Lee's suspension may be due to neglecting several issues, such as the Urban Regeneration Act (PSB), employing foreign workers, Malaysia Higher School Certificate (STPM) students entering universities, and Selangor's guidelines on non-Islamic places of worship.

Lee also accused of restricted access to RM3 million funds in the Petaling Jaya area and management of those funds being taken over by party officials, in addition to not being given an opportunity to explain before being suspended by PKR. Meanwhile, Ng questioned why Lee attended Bersama Party events while still being a PKR member.

If he has lost confidence in PKR, it is his right. However, he should resign with dignity first, not remain in one party while engaging with a rival party.
