They are Julau MP Larry Sng and Tebrau MP Steven Choong.

Hizwan Ahmad, political secretary to housing and local government minister Zuraida Kamaruddin, announced this in a Facebook post today.

“After one year of evaluating the government’s performance, two PKR MPs today decided to support Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Muhyiddin as prime minister. Congratulations Julau and Tebrau,” he said.

Meanwhile, Muhyiddin said the support from Sng and Choong would strengthen PN’s efforts in fighting Covid-19 and reviving the economy.

“I received their statutory declarations today. They have pledged full support for PN,” he said in his Facebook account.

Earlier, it was reported that Sng had resigned as Sarawak PKR chairman on Friday. He had announced his decision to step down during a video conference with the state leadership council on the same day.

He had wanted to step down from the post in December last year. However, he decided to stay on after meeting party president Anwar Ibrahim.

Earlier this week, Choong had denied that he was joining PN after visits he made to several ministers triggered speculation.

FMT recently reported that two PKR MPs were in talks with middlemen from PN to cross over to the governing coalition.

Sources in the know had said one MP was from East Malaysia and the other from the peninsula.

PKR won 48 parliamentary seats in the last general election but is now left with 36.
