Nibong Tebal MP Tan Tee Beng quit the party yesterday, nearly two weeks after Bayan Baru MP Datuk Seri Zahrain Hashim resigned to protest against the party leadership. Ex-Penang Deputy Chief Minister Mohd Fairus Khairuddin left the party on Sunday to join Umno.
PKR now has 29 MPs in Parliament while its Pakatan Rakyat allies DAP has 28 and PAS 23. The two resignations have now reduced Pakatan’s bench to 80 while Barisan Nasional has 137 in the 222-seat Dewan Rakyat.
There are now two SAPP members and three independents in Parliament.
Former PKR secretary-general Datuk Sallehudin Hashim, who quit the party two weeks ago, had forewarned that 10 other lawmakers would be following the trail of becoming independents in Parliament.
