Yong refuses to go on leave

Yong, who is in charge of the Housing, Local Government, Public Transport, Non-Islamic and Village Affairs Committee, is adamant about continuing on even after Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu advised him on Thursday to take leave from his official duties until the rape trial is completed.
