Ex-PJ MP Lee Chean Chung submits application to join Bersama

PETALING JAYA: Former Petaling Jaya member of parliament Lee Chean Chung submitted his application to join Parti Bersama Malaysia today, three days after resigning from his parliamentary seat on Oct 2.

Bersama co-founder Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli confirmed the matter during a press conference at the party's headquarters here today.

"We welcome Lee Chean Chung as a leader in Bersama.

"He submitted his application to join Bersama today, and it will be processed according to the party's membership procedures," Rafizi told reporters in a joint press conference with Lee.

Lee had announced his resignation as Petaling Jaya MP effective last Friday.

Lee, who won the Petaling Jaya seat in the 15th General Election, said his resignation letter was submitted to Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul at 3pm on Oct 2.

The decision followed a notice from PKR on Sept 30 informing him that his party membership had been suspended for three years.
