PETALING JAYA- Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, P. Waythamoorthy, should step down immediately to preserve his dignity after being criticised by Barisan Nasional leaders over his stand on the shooting of five men in Penang, DAP chairman Karpal Singh said today.
"He is not a deputy minister in his own right as he is not an elected representative of the people. Therefore, he has no moral authority to the post he is holding in the government and has no right to cling on to his post any longer," he added.
Karpal urged the government to order an inquest into the shooting which he said could have been avoided.
"They could very well have been arrested without the need for the police to have been trigger-happy.
"The police must be prepared to justify their actions in court and the families of the men who were killed be given an opportunity to have the truth established," he said.
