PKR Criticizes MP Wong Chen for Attending Rival Party Events

Subang Member of Parliament Wong Chen is facing criticism from within his own party, PKR, for attending and speaking at political events organized by other parties. G. Sivamalar, Deputy Secretary-General of PKR, stated that Wong Chen should cease creating controversy, especially as PKR prepares for upcoming state elections.

Sivamalar questioned Wong Chen's actions, describing them as akin to "riding two boats" by campaigning for and legitimizing a political movement that presents an alternative to PKR. The deputy secretary-general accused Wong Chen of consistently portraying himself as a victim while making political choices that challenge the party openly.

"All the controversies today are the result of political choices he made himself. Don't create problems, then complain about being wronged when people start questioning you," Sivamalar said in a statement. She urged Wong Chen to be forthright if he no longer believes in PKR's cause, rather than continuing to act disingenuously.

Wong Chen recently attended and spoke at a program for the 'Parti Bersama' movement and revealed he received a show-cause letter from PKR's Disciplinary Bureau for attending the event. He claimed PKR's actions were unprofessional and an attempt to force an admission of guilt. However, Sivamalar reminded Wong Chen that his 2022 general election victory was secured through the efforts of thousands of PKR members and supporters, not solely his personal popularity.
