Opposition walks out after House voted to pass election bill
updated version
DAP member of parliament Kerk Kim Hock claims not all parties had been consulted on the controversial amendments to the Election Offences Act 1954. In an attempt to rectify this before the bill is tabled, he proposes to bring it to a select committee comprising all parties. However, due to a technical error his motion was denied, leading to a walkout by all opposition MPs.
