Two PKR MPs have denied allegations that they, along with nine others, have withdrawn their support for PKR president Anwar Ibrahim, who is also serving as prime minister.
PKR vice-president Chang Lih Kang, who is also science, technology and innovation minister, described the allegations as ridiculous.
“Rafizi and Nik Nazmi’s resignation from the cabinet is out of decorum and in the spirit of democracy. Others need not sully the waters. That’s all,” the Chang (above), the Tanjung Malim MP, posted on Facebook last night.
Rumours have swirled as a result of a viral screenshot on WhatsApp and on the Facebook of blogger Wan Azri Wan Deris, popularly known as Papagomo, claiming that 11 PKR MPs have withdrawn their support for Anwar and will hold a media conference on May 30 about the matter.
The MPs are:
Rafizi (Pandan)
Nik Nazmi (Setiawangsa)
Chang (Tanjung Malim)
Tan Kar Hing (Gopeng)
Akmal Nasrullah Nasir (Johor Bahru)
Wong Chen (Subang)
Zahir Hassan (Wangsa Maju)
Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh (Ledang)
Lee Chean Chung (Petaling Jaya)
Onn Abu Bakar (Batu Pahat)
Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun (Port Dickson)
Meanwhile, Tan condemned the allegations on Facebook, describing them as malicious political slander.

“I strongly deny the allegations made by Wan Azri in a Facebook post. My stand and idealism in the struggle have not changed even with the recent party election results,” he said, adding that he had obtained advice from his lawyer and did not deny the possibility of taking legal action.
Rafizi and Nik Nazmi announced their resignation as ministers effective June 17 and July 4, following their losses in the recent PKR party election, where Rafizi lost his deputy presidency to Nurul Izzah Anwar and Nik Nazmi failed in securing a vice-president’s post.
