Chong suspended for refusing to withdraw remark

IN what could be the first for the Assembly, a member of the House has been suspended for a length of time that is to the Speaker’s discretion.

Sarawak DAP chairman and Kota Sentosa assemblyman Chong Chieng Jen (pic) was shown the door by Speaker Datuk Amar Mohd Asfia Awang Nassar for the former’s refusal to withdraw a remark deemed improper against Housing Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg.
