A waterfall of verbal abuse and anger crashed down on Kuala Langat MP Datuk Dr Xavier Jayakumar from the moment he announced his resignation from PKR to support Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s government.
This comes after Dr Xavier defected from Pakatan Harapan.
“I have received the letter from Dr Xavier via e-mail to state that he will now be an independent MP, ” said Azhar when contacted.
The letter addressed to Azhar from Dr Xavier stated that as of March 12, he will be a Perikatan Nasional-friendly independent MP.
“I, Datuk Dr Xavier Jayakumar, the MP of Kuala Langat, announce that as of March 12, I have decided to be an independent MP who will support the government bloc under the leadership of (Prime Minister) Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, ” stated the letter signed by Dr Xavier and dated March 12.

Saifuddin said that as someone who has known Dr Xavier for a long time, the latter’s actions and excuse have raised queries.
“However, what differentiates a true reformist from the others is the strength when facing the challenges in good and trying times, ” said Saifuddin in a statement on Saturday (March 13).
Saifuddin also alleged that the Kuala Langat MP had informed PKR leaders recently that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) made him a target of investigations after the anti-graft agency detained his personal assistant and some acquaintances in relation to a recent case.
“Dr Xavier was apparently contacted later by a senior (Perikatan Nasional) Minister who told that he needed to support Perikatan or face serious repercussions, said Saifuddin.
