PKR lawmaker Sivarasa Rasiah claimed that Kuala Langat MP Dr Xavier Jayakumar was pressured to support PN after a 'selective' probe by the MACC.

"It is obvious to all and sundry Dr Xavier would not have done this (defected) if not for the selective investigation initiated by the MACC targeted to intimidate him in which to date several of his associates and former ministry staff have been arrested and remanded by the MACC," he said.
