KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 (Bernama) -- Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) has confirmed that businessman Datuk Seri Nicky Liow Soon Hee is not a member of the party following an official verification prompted by claims circulating on social media.
PKR secretary-general Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh said the confirmation was made after checks were conducted through the KEADILAN Membership System.
"Checks also found that he has never submitted any application to become a party member," she said in a statement today.
Earlier, a photograph of Liow wearing an Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) shirt went viral on social media, triggering claims that the businessman was a PKR member.
Before this, Liow was charged in the Shah Alam Sessions Court over his alleged involvement in the organised crime syndicate known as the "Nicky Gang" and money laundering.
