Asked about the status of her membership in Bersatu, Zuraida said the matter would be officially announced at the ceremony, according to Bernama.

Zuraida, who is now housing and local government minister, confirmed receiving a notice from PKR demanding payment of RM10 million in compensation for leaving the party.

She said that she would not take any action regarding the notice. “The letter is meaningless,” she told reporters at a function in Lembah Subang 2 here.

The PKR letters of demand were sent in July to all 19 MPs and state assembly members who had left the party, iincluding former deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali, who is Gombak MP, as well as Zuraida, who is MP for Ampang.

Azmin and Zuraida are now ministers in the Perikatan Nasional government led by PPBM president Muhyiddin Yassin.

Saifuddin also receives demand letter

Indera Mahkota MP Saifuddin Abdullah also said that he had received the demand notice. Saifuddin, now communications and multimedia minister, said he received the letter last week along with his friends.

“We (those who received the letter) have also discussed our next course of action … so we have to wait for the next announcement,” he said in a press conference in Pahang.
