Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin has dismissed the demand by PKR for an RM10 million compensation each from the 19 MPs and state assemblymen who had left the party.
Zuraida, who is also Housing and Local Government minister, said PKR has no cause to claim for compensation because she was expelled by the party.
“I’m not bothered about it...because I didn’t defect. I was fired in the first place and I think for the rest of my friends there is a clause that can cover us, so I am not worried.
"So bring it on, Anwar (Ibrahim). If you need money, you can bring it on. But I don’t think he will get the money,” she told reporters after visiting the site for a proposed mini-futsal court in Taman Bukit Mulia, Bukit Antarabangsa today.
Yesterday, PKR treasurer-general Lee Chean Chung said the party would be issuing letters of demand to claim RM10 million each from the 19 MPs and state assemblymen, including Gombak MP Mohamed Azmin Ali, who was PKR deputy president, and Zuraida.
He claimed that this was the amount they had agreed to pay the party if they defected and appropriated their seat for personal benefit and used it against the interests of the party.
The other MPs concerned are Saifuddin Abdullah (Indera Mahkota), Kamaruddin Jaffar (Bandar Tun Razak), Mansor Othman (Nibong Tebal), Rashid Hasnon (Batu Pahat), Dr Santhara Kumar (Segamat), Ali Biju (Saratok), Jonathan Yasin (Ranau) and Baru Bian (Selangau).
The state assemblymen involved are Dr Chong Fat Full (Pemanis), Muhammad Jailani Khamis (Rembia), Abdul Yunus Jamahri (Kuala Krau), Muhammad Hilman Idham (Gombak Setia), Azman Nasrudin (Lunas), Dr Robert Ling Kui Ee (Sidam), Haniza Mohamed Talha (Lembah Jaya), Daroyah Alwi (Sementa) and Zulkifli Ibrahim (Sungai Aceh).
