Political career

Between August 2018 and February 2020, See served as special officer representing Minister of Works of Malaysia, Baru Bian, in Sarawak on a pro bono basis.[2]

See was sacked from PKR in mid-April 2020 having been alleged to have supported the camp belonging to former party deputy president, Mohamed Azmin Ali, in the events leading up to the 2020 Malaysian constitutional crisis.[3]

On May 29, 2020, president of United Sarawak Party (PSB), Wong Soon Koh, announced that See has been accepted as a member of PSB.[4][5] See's addition to PSB comes as over 20 other former PKR members, either sacked or having resigned from the party, also received their acceptance into PSB.[6][7]
