DAP wants Chor punished with RM10 salary cut

comments     Published     Updated

DAP threatened to move a motion to cut Deputy Home Affairs Minister Chor Chee Heung's salary by a token sum of RM10 for his "irresponsible" and "outrageous" answer in Parliament by defending police action against its leaders during the party's 'No to 929' campaign.

Party chairperson Lim Kit Siang said Chor should retract his statements unconditionally for defending police action in arresting DAP leaders although no offence had been committed by the party under the Sedition Act, as alleged by the arresting officers.

"Chor has demonstrated a deplorable absence of political honesty, courage and clout to own up in Parliament that the police had acted wrongly and abused their powers in arresting 32 DAP leaders in Ipoh, Port Dickson, Bentong and Klang,"said Lim in a press statement.
