  "summary": "Former Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung has responded to criticism from PKR deputy secretary-general Bryan Ng regarding his attendance at council meetings. Lee clarified that an MP is not a member of the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) but is invited as an observer with no voting rights. Ng had focused on the frequency of Lee's attendance rather than the policy issues he raised. Lee challenged Ng to disclose his own attendance record and position on the proposed Petaling Jaya Dispersal Link, Selangor Intelligent Parking scheme, and calls for a royal commission of inquiry. Lee emphasized that attending meetings is not enough if problematic projects are allowed to proceed without objection.",
