Kapar MP resigns over bloc vote error


KAPAR MP G. Manivannan (pic) has resigned as PKR’s secretary whip after the Dewan Speaker ruled that his error during the tabulation of the bloc vote on Budget 2018 last week meant that the results of the voting would stand.

In a statement yesterday, Manivannan said the resignation was with immediate effect as a matter of principle, and that it has already been conveyed to the party’s chief whip, Sungai Petani MP Datuk Johari Abdul.
