PKR suspends division chief

S Murali's party membership has been suspended with immediate effect after he was found guilty of four charges.

PETALING JAYA: Puchong PKR division chief S Murali has been suspended from the party after being found guilty of several misdemeanors.

The suspension of Murali’s membership would take place immediately, said PKR disciplinary committee chairman Dr Tan Kee Kwong.

Tan said the committee had received complaints from four PKR members earlier this year and had heard all cases and an explanation from Murali.

The complaints against Murali included:

* Criticising the Selangor state government in the media in relation to allocations given to Tamil schools

* Rioting/ disturbing a dialogue chaired by Selangor state exco Dr Halimah Ali at the Selangor state secretariat and leading a group of men to attack a Mr S Kumareval there.

* Acting harshly towards Seputeh MP Teresa Kok when she was visiting a Tamil school in Puchong

“Unanimously, the committee found that he was guilty of those accusations,” said Tan, adding that the political bureau had been notified of the decision yesterday.

Last Sunday, Murali was in the news after he was arrested by the Subang Jaya police for allegedly threatening a school teacher in USJ.

It was learnt that there were numerous reports of criminal intimidation lodged against Murali.
