SHAH ALAM – Kuala Langat MP Datuk Xavier Jayakumar and Segamat MP Datuk Seri Edmund Santhara Kumar have joined Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM), its president-designate Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin said today.

This brings the new party’s count of MPs to six.

Two more lawmakers are also set to join PBM soon, but Zuraida did not name them.

“The party is now joined today by two MPs, Segamat MP Edmund Santhara and Kuala Langat MP Dr Xavier Jayakumar, (and) two more who will be joining us,” she told PBM delegates during the party’s inaugural annual general assembly at the Ideal Convention Centre, here, today. – The Vibes, October 1, 2022

PBM my choice, don’t ask for reasons, says Xavier

PETALING JAYA: Former PKR vice-president Dr Xavier Jayakumar has refused to disclose why he chose to join Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM).

The Kuala Langat MP said there was no need to ask him why he did not choose other parties, such as Bersatu or one of the Barisan Nasional components.

Xavier joining PBM proves party comprises ‘frogs’, says Fahmi

PETALING JAYA: Former PKR vice-president Dr Xavier Jayakumar’s move to Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) is proof the new party comprises “frogs”, Fahmi Fadzil said.

Xavier, who became an independent MP after quitting the party in March last year, should have only joined PBM after Parliament was dissolved if he was a man of principle, Fahmi said.

Alternatively, the PKR information chief said, Xavier should have resigned as the Kuala Langat MP.

“As he didn’t do either, it shows that they do not respect the anti-hopping bill that was passed with the unanimous support of all MPs, including himself,” Fahmi told FMT.
