  "account": "A Malaysian political analyst predicts that the People's Justice Party (PKR) will suspend Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung from the party for three years, according to several sources close to the party. The decision, which avoids outright dismissal of Lee, is aimed at preventing current PKR president Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad from gaining another MP in the Dewan Rakyat. Sources say that dismissing Lee would essentially hand over an MP to Bersatu, the coalition partner.\n\nFMT contacted PKR Secretary-General Fuziah Salleh for comment, but did not receive a response at the time of publication. Another senior PKR leader confirmed that Lee is expected to face a three-year suspension, which is influenced by the growing dissatisfaction among the core ranks in the Petaling Jaya branch. Many grassroots members are unhappy with Lee's performance during the Bersama initiative held in May, which also included former PKR communications chief.\n\nLee's relationship with party leadership has deteriorated since the Bersama launch, which also featured former PKR communications chief. Lee was given a written warning for his behavior at the Bersama event, and then lost his position as a Senior Management Council member. He stated that he would remain a PKR member and continue serving as the Petaling Jaya MP until Parliament is dissolved. Lee also maintained his attendance at the Bersama event, saying he only participated in activities organized in his constituency.",
