'I didn't distance myself without reason': Ex-PJ MP links PKR exit to ignored corruption claim
KUALA LUMPUR: Former Petaling Jaya member of parliament Lee Chean Chung has rejected claims that he was absent from PKR affairs for more than a year, saying he became less active after an alleged corporate mafia issue he raised within the party was not acted upon.
Former Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung has denied claims that he was absent from PKR affairs for over a year, stating that he became less active after an alleged corporate mafia issue he raised within the party was ignored. Lee announced his resignation as Petaling Jaya MP yesterday, following a three-year suspension from PKR. He also accused PKR of blocking RM3 million in allocations for his constituency and placing them under the management of a party representative.
Lee questioned the handling of his complaints concerning the corporate mafia issue, alleging that no action was taken despite significant allegations against a PKR MP. He called for an investigation into excessive shareholdings and a Royal Commission of Inquiry, but no action was taken. Lee expressed concern over the lack of investigation into the corruption allegations while those exposing them were punished.
