Former PKR Wanita chief Haniza Mohd Talha (above) is confident that no action can be taken against her and 18 other elected PKR elected representatives who are said to be facing a RM10 million compensation demand each for defecting from the party.
According to the Lembah Jaya assemblyperson, the demand was also ultra vires the Federal Constitution.
"We will look into it and we are ready with our lawyers to take further action," she told reporters in Ipoh today.
On Wednesday, PKR treasurer-general Lee Chean Chung said the party would be issuing letters of demand to claim RM10 million from each of the 19 MPs and assemblypersons who left the party.
Haniza also said that she did not leave the party but was sacked.
The allegation that she jumped ship was also not true because she is now an independent assemblyperson.
"If I am a member of an organisation other than PKR, that (also) does not violate the Federal Constitution," she said. - Bernama
