KEPALA BATAS, Jan 23 (Bernama) -- About 100 members of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) from the Tasek Gelugor division quit the party due to loss of confidence in the party's ability to look after their welfare.
Their spokesman, S. Thevandass said the party had failed to fulfil its election promises to the Indian community, who were workers of the Mayfield Plantation near here.
The group, which also comprised of PKR Youth and Wanita members, left the party on their own accord and without coercion from any quarters, he told reporters after handing over their application forms to join a Barisan Nasional component party to Umno Tasek Gelugor division committee member Dr Mohd Rozi Yusuf here Sunday.
The forms will be handed over to Penang Barisan Nasional chairman Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon.
The vandas, who was former PKR Ladang Mayfield Committee member, said as the PKR was saddled with internal problems, it could not take care of the plight of estate workers.
"Instead we've got most of the assistance from the BN," he added.
