KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Eight central leadership council members of PKR’s student wing, Mahasiswa Keadilan Malaysia (MKM), announced that they have quit the party, citing a loss of confidence in party president Anwar Ibrahim in his capacity as prime minister.Its chairperson, Ram Erfan Zur Nuqman, confirmed the matter during a press conference in Petaling Jaya last night.“We reject the culture of blindly defending the party while the principles of the struggle are increasingly being abandoned. Accordingly, eight members of the MKM central leadership council are announcing their resignation from the party today,” he said.Meanwhile, in a separate story, a DAP MP has reminded the government that income bracket labels do not necessarily reflect a person’s actual financial circumstances.Kepong lawmaker Lim Lip Eng stressed that any plan to remove the full fuel subsidy for those in the T20 high-income group must be supported by a sound and effective mechanism.He said the government must not make the mistake of looking only at income while ignoring real-life expenses.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
