Pakatan Harapan’s candidate in the 2019 Rantau state by-election Dr S Streram has revealed that he left PKR on Sept 18 because the party had sidelined him.
The former Rantau PKR division deputy chief said he is now with Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM), where former PKR vice-president Zuraida Kamaruddin is the president-designate.
“I was with PKR for 14 years and had served the people a long time but after the Rantau by-election, many of my friends and I in Negeri Sembilan were sidelined.
"I decided to join PBM to serve the people. That’s my main objective,” he told Bernama today.
The anesthesiologist said they also could not get along with Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun and disagreed with his appointment as the state PKR chief.
Meanwhile, state PKR secretary Aliudin Mohamed claimed that Streram did not have any issue with the state PKR but the party respected his decision to leave.
