KUALA LUMPUR, May 19 — Wangsa Maju Member of Parliament Zahir Hassan has clarified that his attendance at a political direction programme involving former economy minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli and former natural resources and environmental sustainability minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad was to fulfil an invitation from fellow comrades.
In a Facebook post, Zahir said he was invited to attend the programme, which he described as an opportunity to witness their sharing on future political direction.
He also said he respects their decision to vacate their parliamentary seats effective May 18, 2026, and to leave Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) effective May 19, 2026.
Zahir said he believes the decision was made after careful consideration and was not driven by personal interests alone.
He added that, in his view, the actions taken do not violate any laws, including provisions under Article 49A of the Federal Constitution relating to anti-hopping laws, or any party agreements.
He also encouraged the public to refer to the “bersama.org.my” website to better understand the agenda and direction of the initiative.
Zahir stressed that he remains fully committed to his responsibilities to the constituents of Wangsa Maju.
