In a statement today, PKR communications director Fahmi Fadzil said party secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution had informed Manickavasagam, who is a central leadership council member, that his party membership has been suspended for two years effective today.
“This is the decision of the party’s political bureau, based on a report by the party’s disciplinary board, which found Manickavasagam had allegedly made the slanderous statements related to the party’s leadership in a speech in Kapar on April 8,” he said.
Based on the party constitution, the former Kapar MP has 14 days to appeal the suspension.
