Veteran Malaysian MP Wong Quits Over ‘Toxic Politics’, Leaving Reform Agenda in Doubt The resignation of veteran Malaysian MP Wong Chen from parliament and his party, PKR, has sent shockwaves through the country's political landscape.
Wong's decision to join Bersama, a fledgling progressive rival, is the latest development in a string of electoral setbacks for the ruling coalition led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
Wong's departure marks the third time this year that a sitting MP has left PKR to join Bersama.
