DAP has terminated the memberships of three of its assemblymen after they defected to Perikatan Nasional.

The three are Pangkalan Batu assemblyman Norhizam Hassan Baktee, Tronoh rep Paul Yong Choo Kiong and Bentong rep A. Sivasubramaniam.

Their terminations were announced by DAP disciplinary committee chairman Chong Chieng Jen today.

Norhizam joined PN in Malacca after the change in government at the federal level meant Pakatan Harapan in the state no longer had the majority.

In Perak, meanwhile, Yong and Sivasubramaniam had yesterday declared themselves independents who support the PN coalition, which comprises Bersatu, Barisan Nasional and PAS.

“The disciplinary committee advises all our members to disassociate themselves from these three defectors and that no member shall accept any official position offered by PN.

“The disciplinary committee will take the sternest action against whoever that defects because nothing is more treacherous and worse than a betrayal of the people’s mandate,” Chong said in a statement.

Another Perak assemblyman, Hasnul Zulkarnain Abd Munaim, has also been sacked by his party, Amanah.

The Titi Serong rep’s membership was terminated for defecting to the the PN coalition in the state, The Star reports, citing a statement from Amanah. – March 10, 2020.
