KUALA LUMPUR: The controversy over the Australian permanent resident status of Deputy Culture, Arts and Tourism Minister Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen is purely academic as she has revoked it, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said. 

Dr Rais said Dr Ng had not committed any criminal act and as such the controversy did not warrant a resignation from the Wanita MCA chief.
