He said Dr Ting’s case is one where the Sarawak State Assembly has abused its power through a Ministerial Motion by disqualifying an elected representative with its brute majority. “Dr Ting was elected by the Pujut voters for this term, notwithstanding the fact that he is now disqualified, he shall continue to serve the Pujut constituents till the end of the term.
Chong said the only “consoling fact” about the Federal Court’s decision is both the Chief Justice of Malaysia and the Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak ruled in favour of Dr Ting.
