4 unusual facts about Nasarudin Hashim


Nasarudin Hashim

Nasarudin was first elected to the assembly in 2004, as an UMNO member representing the seat of Parit.

Joined by three other Pakatan Rakyat MPs, the defection gave the UMNO-led Barisan Nasional coalition the numbers to return to government.

He was re-elected to the assembly in 2008, albeit for a different seat, Bota.

His defection from the People's Justice Party (PKR) to the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO)—days after he had defected the other way—helped cause the collapse of the Pakatan Rakyat government of which PKR was a component party.
