  "account": "Former Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung announced his resignation as the party's Secretary-General on Monday and stated he would leave the party on Monday. The Kuala Lumpur political scene has been shaken by Lee's move. Lee accused Bryan Ng, another PKR Secretary-General, of criticizing his attendance at meetings involving the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (MBPJ). Lee explained that Ng's attendance at the MBPJ meetings was only as an observer and that he did not have voting rights or the power to approve documents. However, Lee argued that Ng's frequent attendance at MBPJ meetings raised more concerns than the issues he raised. Lee's aim was to bring Petaling Jaya's voice to the national level, he said. In contrast, he believed that elected members were appointed to attend, investigate, debate, and vote on matters presented to MBPJ. Lee challenged Ng to disclose his own attendance records at full council and committee meetings, as well as his voting record on the proposed Petaling Jaya Dispersal Link project. Lee also asked Ng to explain whether MBPJ had approved or signed the Selangor Intelligent Parking scheme and whether Ng would challenge or record Lee's opposition to it. Lee further challenged Ng to state PKR's official position on both projects and to call for the establishment of a royal commission of inquiry into the alleged corporate mafia. Lee claimed that his records on these issues were already public knowledge, including his opposition to the parking scheme and his objection to the PJD Link concession. He emphasized that the public deserved answers to these questions. If the party had a clear position, it should state it. If not, the problem was not with his attendance. The problem was that the party had remained silent, Lee said. He added that his attendance at meetings did not mean much if projects were allowed to proceed without opposition. Earlier, Ng had criticized Lee for missing many local authority meetings, including those on flood mitigation and the Petaling Jaya Regional Plan (RTPJ). Ng claimed that RTPJ was a crucial process for determining Petaling Jaya's development direction, including land use, traffic, public services, and urban planning. On Monday, Lee announced his resignation as the Petaling Jaya MP for another term, citing dissatisfaction with the party's leadership. He disagreed with Ng's criticism, stating that his frequent attendance at meetings did not reflect poorly on him. Lee was planning to leave the party on Monday, marking a significant shift in the political landscape.",
