Maszlee joins PKR to ‘enact change, instil hope’ - superadmin - 11-27-2021 PETALING JAYA: Simpang Renggam MP Maszlee Malik has officially joined PKR after just over a year as an independant. He formally announced his move at an event to hand over his membership form to PKR president Anwar Ibrahim at the Deewan Kampung Baru Machap in his constituency today, In his speech, he also described his move as a sort of homecoming as he was a registered member of the PKR Ampang branch in 2017. “Today I bring a message to youths and others my age, that there is still hope. We still have hope to rise up and bring change. So it is on this ground that I, just like all of you, ordinary people who desire change, made this major decision to join PKR,” he said. Maszlee had been a member of Bersatu under Pakatan Harapan (PH), briefly aligning with Muda in August last year before becoming an independant representative last November. He acknowledged today that his move may come at a time which was “not very encouraging” and a bad choice in view of PKR’s recent defeats in the Melaka state election. He said there were those who asked why he was joining a party that had lost and whose president was being attacked by his foes and some friends. - More -
