Ng is first Negeri rep to be given the boot

The DAP state assemblyman makes history by being the first rep in Negeri Sembilan to be given the marching orders and suspended.

SEREMBAN: Temiang state assemblyman Ng Chin Tsai (DAP) has become the first representative in Negeri Sembilan to be given the marching orders and suspended from the State Legislative Assembly sitting.

Ng (photo) was suspended for two days by Speaker Razak Mansor for his outburst in branding the Barisan Nasional government as “dirty” (kotor) and “bad” (jahat).

Earlier during the debate session, Ng raised the issue that many of his written and oral questions were rejected by Razak without reason.

“I asked many questions related to BN cronies getting projects and lands. However, all the questions were rejected without any reason.

“The government is using the state assembly to protect BN cronies,” he charged.

Razak asked Ng to retract the words twice but the latter refused.

“I will not retract my statements. This is the opinion of the people who think that the BN government is dirty and bad,” he said.

This prompted Razak to invoke the Standing Orders and show Ng the exit.

Met later, Ng expressed his frustration over the speaker’s decision.

“Today is a black day in the Negeri Sembilan state assembly sitting. Before this, there were times when BN assemblymen humiliated Pakatan Rakyat reps, using vulgar words but the speaker never took action.

“This is not fair,” he said.
