PETALING JAYA: PKR has issued its former deputy president Rafizi Ramli with a show-cause letter over a statement he made about intending to defend his parliamentary seat in the next general election (GE16), but not on a PKR ticket.
In a Facebook post, Rafizi said the letter was issued by PKR secretary-general Fuziah Salleh.
The Pandan MP said his remarks were about his plans after Parliament is dissolved and GE16 is called, insisting that he has not left PKR.
“After the Dewan Rakyat is dissolved, I would no longer be bound by the anti-hopping law. Since I would cease to be an MP, it would be up to me to decide what to do.
“As long as I remain an MP and do not formally resign from the party or declare that I have joined another party, I remain a PKR member. The Dewan Rakyat speaker cannot vacate my seat,” he said.
