Port Klang assemblyperson Badrul Hisham Abdullah today denied rumours that he had left Pakatan Rakyat.
"I am still doing the job of Port Klang assemblyperson as usual. My commitment is still strong and undivided to PKR and the Pakatan Rakyat leadership on the whole especially in Selangor," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.
He said the rumour was spread by certain people to create confusion in the Pakatan Rakyat government in Selangor and he had met the party's top leadership to explain all issues that cropped up about him all this while.
"I will try to correct all weaknesses raised and I am committed to continue serving the people," he said.
On claims that he seemed to have been missing off late and difficult to be contacted or hardly met the constituents, Badrul said: "I am in my area."
Not received any offers
He said he was in his office everyday and sometimes beyond office hours which were after 5pm.
On other claims that he did not receive sate allocations and was involved in a "khalwat" case, he said: "No, I did not do it."
Asked whether he had been offered to cross over, he said he had not received any offers and he had not thought of jumping to another party.
Defection fears are widespread in the states controlled by Pakatan Rakyat following the political coup in Perak.
Last week, Barisan Nasional seized control of the state government after four Pakatan Rakyat reps quit. One of them rejoined Umno while the remaining three are ‘BN friendly’ independents.
After the fall of Perak, Pakatan Rakyat now controls Penang, Selangor, Kedah and Kelantan.
