PJ community leaders slam PKR for dropping Maria Chin - superadmin - 11-02-2022 PETALING JAYA: A former city councillor and a former residents’ association president have questioned PKR’s rationale for dropping Maria Chin Abdullah as a candidate in the coming polls. Former MBPJ councillor Richard Yeoh said he was puzzled by PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli’s claim that the former Petaling Jaya MP was dropped to “meet the demands of the electorate”. “I’m not aware that any effort was made to assess or ascertain the demands of the electorate,” he told FMT. Yeoh, who served as MBPJ councillor from 2008 to 2013, defended Maria as an MP, saying she was hardworking, “very connected” to the community, and “very active”, especially during the movement control order (MCO). - More -
