PARTI Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) has moved to place the fate of potential legal proceedings against former deputy president Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli and former vice-president Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad in the hands of its legal advisers after the high-profile duo formally severed ties with the party.
Secretary-General Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh said the party's lawyers would determine whether further action should be pursued against the two former senior leaders, whose resignations have triggered scrutiny over both Malaysia's Anti-Party Hopping Act and a RM10 million bond signed during their tenure.
"They have already resigned from their positions and left the party. Therefore, I leave the matter to the legal team," she said.
Fuziah, who is also Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, spoke to reporters after inspecting the Program Jualan Rahmah MADANI at Econsave Cash & Carry in Taman Daya, Johor Bharu today.
The legal review follows Rafizi's resignation as Member of Parliament for Pandan and Nik Nazmi's resignation as Member of Parliament for Setiawangsa, with both announcing their departure from PKR on 17 May.
Their exit prompted PKR to examine whether legal action could be initiated under the Anti-Party Hopping Act, while also considering enforcement of the RM10 million bond reportedly imposed on both leaders as part of the party's internal obligations.
Although Rafizi and Nik Nazmi formally registered as ordinary members of Parti Bersama Malaysia (Bersama) on 21 May, PKR maintains that their resignation from the party took effect on 17 May.
The party's position on the date of their departure is expected to be a key factor in any legal assessment, as its lawyers consider whether there are grounds to pursue claims arising from the resignations and subsequent political realignment. - June 19, 2026
