Teluk Intan MP Nga Kor Ming has resigned as the deputy speaker of the Dewan Rakyat, in solidarity with the newly-ousted speaker Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof.
This is just ahead of the motion to remove Nga as the deputy speaker, which was supposed to be tabled after the lunch break, which will end at 2.30pm.
“I am resigning from my position with immediate effect... I am willing to do so, in solidarity with Ariff.
“We bow out in honour. That is the right thing to do. I do not want to serve a government without a mandate from the people,” Nga said in a press conference with Ariff in Parliament today.
