KUALA LUMPUR – PKR’s Sekijang MP Natrah Ismail says she has been approached by two “Datuk Seri” individuals, enticing her to switch camps to support Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

In a statement today, she said she was approached yesterday by two people offering benefits if she declares support for the prime minister.

“I told them I wasn’t interested and rejected their offer. For me, there is no benefit in turning away from the reformasi struggle and breaking the oath I took when I became an MP.”

She said she has reported the matter to PKR leadership. “I believe that there are attempts to offer gifts and positions, or to urge and threaten Keadilan and opposition MPs.

“Clearly, the minority government today is ready to do anything except advise the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to convene an immediate parliamentary sitting,” she said referring to the Perikatan Nasional ruling coalition. – The Vibes, March 4, 2021
