Jayabalan (PKR-Batu Uban), Cheah Kah Peng (PKR-Kebun Bunga), Lee Khai Loon (PKR-Machang Bubok) and Dr Norela Ariffin (PKR-Penanti) having a discussion during break time at the state assembly.

A WAR of words between assemblymen from both sides of the political divide almost resulted in them being ejected from the state assemblysitting.

It started off with R.S.N Rayer (DAP-Seri Delima) asking state Youth and Sports, Women, Family and Community Develop-ment Committee chairman Chong Eng (DAP-Padang Lalang) if there was any request by Barisan Nasional assemblymen to take part in the Penang Women’s Brigade.
