KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 — Miri MP Dr Michael Teo Yu Keng appears to be the latest lawmaker from PKR who have claimed they were actively wooed to quit their parties and support the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government.

In a statement today, Dr Teo claimed that there have been multiple attempts over “several months” to coax him to leave PKR and betray party president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, but asserted said he would not quit the Opposition party.

He also called on all PKR members, leaders and supporters to continue backing it.

“I have received various offers from certain parties who are trying to undermine the democratic process in our country through the installation of a morally corrupt and weak back door government that grabbed power a year ago via a parliamentary coup d'etat,” he said referring to the French term that signifies the seizing of a government's power.
