    According to FMT, Xavier (above) responded “yes” when asked to confirm his return to PKR.

    On Saturday, Anwar apologised to party veterans in his keynote speech at PKR’s national congress and urged them to return to the party and continue its struggle for reform.

    Xavier, as then Kuala Langat MP, quit PKR in 2021 when the party was in the opposition, to support then-prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin as an independent lawmaker.

    In 2022, the former natural resources and environmental sustainability minister joined Parti Bangsa Malaysia led by former PKR Women chief Zuraida Kamaruddin, but did not disclose why he had done so.
