First Subang, Now Petaling Jaya: Another PKR MP Claims To Have Lost Access To Constituency Funds — With No Explanation

Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung has gone public with a pointed complaint: his office has been cut off from MyKhas, the government’s constituency fund portal, since 29 May — making him the second PKR government MP after Subang’s Wong Chen to lose access with no official explanation.

In Brief

Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung lost access to constituency funds portal MyKhas since 29 May, with no official explanation given.
Lee attributes the lockout to attending a rival party launch, calling it a breach of Pakatan Harapan's manifesto promise on fair fund distribution.

First it was Subang MP Wong Chen.

Now it is his neighbour across the constituency boundary.

Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung announced on Wednesday that his parliamentary office has been unable to access MyKhas — the government’s online portal used to manage constituency development funds — since 29 May.

No explanation has been given.

Lee is now the second PKR government MP in succession to report being locked out of the same system.

The two constituencies sit side by side in the Klang Valley, and both MPs are from the same party — making the back-to-back incidents difficult to dismiss as coincidence.

What MyKhas Is — And Why It Matters

MyKhas is the system through which MPs process allocations for local community projects, schools, NGOs, welfare aid, and programmes under the Projek Mesra Rakyat (PMR) scheme.

MyKhas is operated by the Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU) under the Prime Minister’s Department (PMD), facilitating the management of constituency allocations.

Without access, Lee’s office cannot process requests, approve projects, or channel funds to residents who depend on the system for community support.

Lee was direct about who bears the cost of that disruption.

The party most affected is not the MP , it is the people waiting for help.

The Trigger Nobody Is Officially Acknowledging

Lee pointed to one likely cause: his attendance at the 17 May public launch of a new political party led by former PKR leaders Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad — a move widely interpreted as a direct challenge to PKR’s current leadership under party president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also Prime Minister.

Six government MPs attended the event.

PKR Secretary-General Datuk Fuziah Salleh announced on 22 May that party leadership would reach out to all six.

As of Wednesday, Lee says he has received no official communication — written or verbal — from the party.

His MyKhas access was cut a week after the launch.

Despite attending the event, Lee stressed that he has not left the government bloc, has not announced any departure from PKR, and has never voted against the government in Parliament.

I am still a government MP. What exactly did I do wrong?

A Manifesto Promise, Now Under Scrutiny

Lee reached for a specific reference: page 42 of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) election manifesto, which explicitly promised that constituency development funds would be distributed fairly to all MPs regardless of party affiliation, channelled through Parliament — not the Prime Minister’s Office.

What is playing out now, he argued, is the opposite of that promise.

He drew a pointed contrast: opposition MPs who crossed the aisle to support the Unity Government had reportedly received allocations — while a government MP who merely attended a rival party’s launch has now lost access to the same system.

There is a perception that allocations can be given to opposition MPs who support the government, but denied to government MPs who are seen as too vocal.

Three Questions, One Demand

Rather than simply protesting, Lee laid out three possible explanations and asked the government to pick one — publicly:

If it is a political decision — acknowledge it openly
If it is a disciplinary matter — follow due process: issue a warning letter, request a show-cause, or conduct a formal inquiry
If it is a technical glitch — resolve it immediately

The structure of the demand is deliberate.

By offering three exits, Lee has made silence the most damaging possible response — because staying quiet implies none of the three explanations apply.

Not His First Rodeo

Lee noted that he has been in this position before — just not from within a governing party.

He previously served as an opposition state assemblyman in Semambu, Pahang, where the then-BN state government gave him no constituency allocation.

He survived by raising funds through community forums and grassroots activities.

I did not expect to face the same situation again — this time, inside a party that has long championed the reform agenda.

As of Wednesday evening, neither PKR nor the federal government has issued any official response to Lee’s statement or to the earlier complaint by Wong Chen.

The episode lands at an uncomfortable moment for the Unity Government.

The formation of a new party by former PKR figures has already exposed fault lines within the ruling coalition, and the back-to-back MyKhas lockouts risk hardening a narrative the government can ill afford: that political loyalty — not community need — determines who gets to serve their constituents.
