Ex-PAS man slapped in ruckus during DAP talk

Serious matter: Liow (left) and Syed Othman speaking at a press conference in front of the Seri Alam police district headquarters in Johor.

JOHOR BARU: After serving the public for over 20 years, it was the first time former Johor PAS committee member Syed Othman Abdullah was slapped in the face.

He was among those attacked by a group of men who barged into a coffeeshop in the midst of the talk attended by DAP leaders on Sunday, including party adviser Lim Kit Siang and Johor chairman Liew Chin Tong.
