He responds to criticism by Bersih, saying his role as deputy speaker and a politician outside the house are two separate matters.
PETALING JAYA: Dewan Rakyat Deputy Speaker says he is duty-bound in his capacity as DAP secretary-general and Teluk Intan MP to speak up against injustice, corruption and extremism outside of Parliament, after Bersih 2.0 urged him to stop “partisan politics” outside the house.
But its chairman Thomas Fann said outside of Parliament, Nga was “different person, extremely partisan and controversial in his remarks”. “As a deputy speaker, I will continue to perform my duty without fear or favour, in accordance with law and order,” he said, adding that his record proves that he maintains full decorum in Dewan Rakyat proceedings.
