PKR to suspend Petaling Jaya MP for three years over party breaches
The People's Justice Party is moving to suspend its Petaling Jaya Member of Parliament over alleged breaches of party discipline. Growing grassroots discontent centres on the lawmaker's attendance at Bersama coalition events without authorisation.

PKR is set to impose a three-year suspension on Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung, according to party sources, citing concerns over his participation in activities involving the Bersama political coalition.
The disciplinary action reflects escalating frustration among PKR's rank-and-file members regarding Lee's public appearances at Bersama events, which party officials say occurred without proper clearance. Sources indicate the matter has drawn sufficient internal attention to warrant formal suspension proceedings.
Bersama, a smaller political coalition, has operated separately from PKR's broader political strategy in recent years. Lee's involvement in Bersama-related activities without party sanction represents what PKR leadership considers a violation of party protocols governing members' public commitments and external political engagements.
The suspension, if implemented, would restrict Lee's party participation and activities during the three-year period. The move underscores PKR's efforts to maintain discipline among its parliamentary representatives and reinforce internal guidelines on political affiliations and public activities.
