Subang MP Wong Chen has challenged PKR to take stronger disciplinary action against him, including expulsion from the party, amid an ongoing disciplinary probe.

Speaking during a Parti Bersama Malaysia roadshow in Negeri Sembilan on Saturday, Wong revealed that he had responded to a show-cause letter issued by PKR but questioned the basis of the action and the professionalism of the party's disciplinary process.

“I received a disciplinary letter from PKR. I replied and asked what exactly I had done wrong,” he said, in a video excerpt of his speech, shared on his Facebook today.

Wong, a former corporate lawyer, claimed the letter lacked specific details of any alleged wrongdoing.

“If you want to issue a show-cause letter, then do it professionally. You cannot conduct a fishing expedition. You need to show evidence and specify what offence I committed,” he said.

Wong further said he had yet to receive a reply from the party nearly two weeks after submitting his explanation.

“They gave me a week to reply, but now it has been 10 days and there has been no response at all,” he said.

The PKR lawmaker also took aim at party leaders whom he accused of being reluctant to act decisively against him.

“If you are brave, sack me. If I am sacked, I can continue serving as the MP for Subang,” he said.


‘PKR can’t afford to lose reps’

Wong also dismissed calls for him to resign, arguing that the party was wary of the political consequences of losing elected representatives.

“They are afraid to even ask me to resign. If six (PKR) MPs leave, they are finished,” he added in reference to PKR lawmakers aligned with former economy minister Rafizi Ramli but have yet to vacate their seats to join Bersama.

Last month, Wong told Malaysiakini his immediate priority is to ensure that the proposed constitutional amendments are properly debated and passed in Parliament before making any decision on his political future.

He said the upcoming parliamentary sitting starting June 22 would be crucial, particularly for amendments involving a proposed 10-year term limit for the prime minister and the separation of the attorney-general and public prosecutor roles.
