DAP and PKR reps sacked for defecting

KUCHING: DAP has sacked nominated Sabah assemblyman Ronnie Loh for supporting Perikatan Nasional’s bid to topple the Sabah government.

In a statement, party disciplinary committee chairman Chong Chieng Jen said Loh’s membership was terminated with immediate effect on the grounds of his defection.

Its disciplinary board chairman Datuk Ahmad Kasim said in a statement yesterday that Chua was axed from PKR with immediate effect.
