'I didn't distance myself without reason': Ex-PJ MP on PKR exit
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 Member of Parliament Lee Chean Chung has denied claims that he has been absent from PKR affairs for over a year, stating that his reduced activity was due to his corporate mafia issue being ignored. Lee announced his resignation from Petaling Jaya MP post three years of suspension from PKR, citing his receipt of the suspension order on September 30.
He also complained about the handling of his complaints regarding an alleged corporate mafia issue within the party. Lee questioned the lack of action taken against his concerns regarding a RM9.5 million issue involving businessman Victor Chin. He had previously raised an issue about excessive shareholdings involving Tan Sri Azam Baki and the corporate mafia, which remained unaddressed.
Lee further questioned why no action was taken against his investigation calls while punishing those who exposed the misconduct. He emphasized that his resignation is not due to reduced activity but is a result of the party's failure to investigate reported misconduct and punishing those who expose it, highlighting the importance of integrity, accountability, and speaking up even when unpopular.
