Kerk: I’ll have to find another job


IPOH: Former Gerakan deputy president Datuk Seri Kerk Choo Ting, who has been dropped as Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister, said he would look for another job. 

“I have to find another place to work. But first, I have to do some sorting out so that I can pass my work to my successor. This is the decision of the Prime Minister and I accept it,” said Kerk, who had challenged his boss Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik for Gerakan’s number one post in the party elections last year. He lost.
