Penang axes four Perikatan reps

GEORGE TOWN: After almost three years of fighting against it, the axe has finally fallen on four Penang state assemblymen.

The four Perikatan men – Zulkifli Ibrahim (Sungai Acheh), Dr Afif Bahardin (Seberang Jaya), Khaliq Mehtab Mohd Ishaq (Bertam) and Zolkifly Md Lazim (Telok Bahang) – became the first victims of Penang’s anti-hopping law when the state assembly passed a landmark motion to have them removed.
