KUALA LUMPUR, June 12 — Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung has stepped down from PKR’s central leadership council after 18 years in the party, citing concerns over its direction and internal decision-making.
Lee, however, said he will remain a PKR member and continue serving as an MP until Parliament is dissolved.
“PKR today is no longer the PKR I once knew,” he said in a Facebook post today announcing his decision.
He said he could no longer continue in the party leadership, adding that he would instead focus on his duties as a backbench MP.
Lee also said he would continue to carry out his parliamentary role, including supporting institutional reform bills expected to be tabled in June.
In his post, he said he was seeking clarification from the party over recent administrative issues affecting constituency work and public programmes, but said no official explanation had been provided.
Lee said the developments had left him unable to continue working with the current leadership structure.
He stressed that he would remain committed to parliamentary oversight and reform efforts, including proposals on term limits for the prime minister, separation of powers for the Attorney General, and a Freedom of Information law.
