[KiniNews] PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli said he and the party’s candidate selection committee initially proposed for incumbent MP R Sivarasa to defend his Sungai Buloh seat in the 15th general election (GE15).

However, PKR president Anwar Ibrahim had a different opinion.

PKR had previously announced it would field its deputy information chief R Ramanan in Sungai Buloh.

Ramanan was the MIC treasurer-general before this but stepped down in 2014 after the
Kuala Lumpur High Court instructed him to return RM5.5 million he obtained through fraud.

At the time, he reportedly said he was appealing the decision and was willing to pay the amount to the plaintiff.

In June 2014, Ramanan dropped his appeal against the judgement and entered a consent judgement with the plaintiff where he agreed to pay the RM5.5 million.
