  "account": "PKR must resolve parliamentary constituency disputes, including meaningful dialogue with constituents and core leaders, following the resignation of four MPs this year, according to an analyst. Recently, MPs Wong Chen (Subang) and Lee Chean Chung (Petaling Jaya) stepped down and left the party to protest the cancellation of the MyKhas regional MyKhas scheme access. Both are harsh critics of PKR's direction and were recently ousted alongside former deputy party president Rafizi Ramli, who now leads Bersatu alongside former deputy deputy president Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad. University Malaya political analyst Tawfik Yaakub said the constituency access dispute also caused tension with another PKR MP accused of aligning with Rafizi, Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail. \"Parliamentary constituency resources should be allocated based on clear procedures and for the benefit of district residents, rather than seen as punishment or pressure on constituents,\" he told FMT. \"This is important because MP and core leader resignations can weaken diversity and create challenges for PKR to manage internal perspective differences. More importantly, district residents should not bear the consequences of internal disagreement among leaders.\" Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia analyst Lau Zhe Wei agreed that PKR's access restriction action contradicts the party's previous advocacy for fair distribution. He said the MyKhas access for Rodziah should be restored soon given she still remains with PKR. \"This may not immediately benefit the party, but at least you can uphold the principle of universal public fund allocation based on political leanings,\" he told FMT. \"You can show that you uphold the principle that public money should be allocated to constituents regardless of political leaning.\" Meaningful dialogue, Tawfik urged, should occur between central leadership, constituents, and core leaders. He said the disciplinary issue should be controlled through a process of consultation to give everyone a fair chance to explain their positions. \"Differences in government principles should not automatically be considered opposition to the party,\" he said. To avoid further tension and possible waves of resignations, Tawfik suggested PKR offer reconciliation plans or dismissal penalties to MPs and core leaders accused of aligning with Rafizi. He said the proposal should not be symbolic but should address the root causes of intra-party tension. Tawfik said in Rodziah's case, PKR leadership and government should clearly explain the basis of its access restriction and ensure district election activities are not disrupted. \"If the restriction is seen as punishment for political differences, it risks increasing isolation and pushing more leaders out. Reconciliation can only be effective if accompanied by assurance that constituents can perform their duties fairly and represent their interests impartially.\"",
