Former MCA veteran member Lee Chong Meng has "forgotten" when he joined opposition PKR.
Despite being quizzed repeatedly during a phone interview, Lee could only reply: "I have forgotten". Lee's application forms to join PKR were submitted by a third party but he couldn't recall when.
Lee's latest reply contradicts his press conference on Thursday, October 7, where he said he would apply to be a PKR member on that same day. During the press conference, he said he had filled in the application form in June, but did not sign it until that day, that is October 7 but on Sept 26 he was elected unopposed as the Bukit Bintang PKR division head.
Realising that something was amiss, PKR deputy president Syed Husin Ali issued a press statement today to state that there an obvious mistake had taken place and adds that the party's leadership would deliberate on the Lee's status soon, pending confirmation from the party election committee. Reason being PKR party rules dictate that members are not allowed to be members of other parties. Lee who is a veterinarian, often refers to himself as "doktor ayam" (chicken doctor) during his election campaigns.
