PKR’s ‘defection drama’ backfires
By Zefry Dahalan, Free Malaysia Today
KUALA LUMPUR: For the past week, the rumour mills have been working overtime after it was revealed that three Umno state assemblymen were about to jump ship to PKR.
PKR Perak information chief Zulkifly Ibrahim told a press conference that their names cannot be revealed because negotiations were still ongoing.
Following this, BN’s Perak Menteri Besar Zambry Abd Kadir was forced to deny the issue, almost on a daily basis.
However, it seems that PKR’s strategy has backfired since it was a state rep from its Pakatan Rakyat partner DAP who threw in the towel
Malim Nawar assemblyman Keshvinder Singh yesterday quit DAP and declared himself a Barisan Nasional-friendly independent.
