PETALING JAYA: Businessman Nicky Liow is not a PKR member and has never applied to join the party, says its secretary-general, Fuziah Salleh.
Fuziah said she ordered a check of PKR’s membership records after questions arose regarding Liow’s appearance at a PKR event here two days ago.
“I can confirm that Liow Soon Hee, also known as Nicky Liow, is not on the party’s membership list,” she told FMT.
“His name is also not on the list of those who have applied to become members.”
In April 2022, Liow was charged in the Shah Alam sessions court with 26 counts of money laundering totalling RM36 million.
He had been in hiding for a year after police launched a crackdown on his alleged gang over claims it had been involved in “Macau Scam” activities.
While in hiding, Liow was charged in absentia with being a member of an organised crime group. He was later granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA).
Fuziah’s statement follows a picture of Liow with PKR president Anwar Ibrahim at a recent party event. Liow was seen wearing a PKR Youth shirt bearing the party’s logo.
