Former Perkasa Youth chief Irwan Fahmi Ideris has joined PKR in the hopes of toppling Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak through the opposition.
Irwan, together with 35 Perkasa Youth executive councillors and members, submitted their application forms to PKR Youth deputy chief Afif Bahardin at the party's headquarters in Petaling Jaya this morning.
However, he still maintains his membership in Perkasa despite cutting ties with Umno. Irwan was previously an Ipoh Barat Umno division member.
“I have not been active for a long time (in Umno),” Irwan told reporters at a press conference.
Irwan claimed he has been pushing for Najib’s resignation since August 2013 but the increasing precariousness of Malaysia's economy and Malay rights recently prompted him to join the federal opposition.
“Now who has betrayed the Malays? Even Malay reserve land was sold off. Is this DAP's fault? Who rules the country? Who has betrayed whom?” he asked.- Mkini
