Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz Quits UMNO, Joins PKR

Tengku Zafrul Aziz, the Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry, made a significant political move today, announcing his resignation from the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) and his subsequent joining of the People's Justice Party (PKR). In a statement, Zafrul clarified that "the decision to leave UMNO and join PKR was made after careful and thorough consideration, entirely of my own volition, without coercion or influence from any party." The video shows Zafrul expressing gratitude towards his former UMNO colleagues. Before departing for his Hajj pilgrimage, he was seen at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. This decision adds another layer of complexity to the already dynamic Malaysian political landscape. The move underscores the ongoing shifts in party allegiances and the fluidity of the political scene.
