KUALA LUMPUR – Businessman Nicky Liow has issued a categorical denial against claims that he has joined Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), demanding that facts replace political spin and that allegations be backed by proof.
“I have never announced that I joined any political party, nor have I ever applied to become a PKR member. PKR Secretary-General Fuziah Salleh has already publicly confirmed these facts, and i believe the matter is now absolutely clear,” he declared during a special press conference today.
Liow clarified that the backlash erupted after photos circulated online showing him in Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) attire alongside Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at a recent public event.
He explained that the outfit was simply purchased at a charity booth at the venue, warning against drawing wild conclusions from a casual purchase.
“The purchase and wearing of a uniform sold at a public fundraising event should not be directly interpreted as joining a political party, nor should it be used as a basis to infer a person’s political identity or political stance,” he stressed.
Maintaining his position as an ordinary citizen, Liow emphasized that he operates strictly as an entrepreneur in real estate, construction, and the food industry, holding no political ambition or party office.
Addressing his past legal controversies, Liow affirmed that all judicial matters have been fully resolved through proper legal channels. To prevent further misrepresentation, his legal team has made official court documents available to the press.
In response to Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung, who had publicly questioned the photograph, Liow urged politicians to ground their criticism in reality rather than speculation.
“If anyone believes I joined a political party, please produce the evidence. If anyone believes I received special treatment, please provide the facts. If anyone believes I committed any offence, then let the evidence and the law speak—not assumptions based on a single photograph.
“Facts must come before politics. Evidence must come before allegations. The rule of law must prevail over labels,” he asserted. – July 29, 2026
