THERE are two tigers on a mountain in Penang and it is no secret that one of them is the Chief Minister and the other is the former chief minister.
SEOUL : South Korea ’s 20th president, Yoon Suk Yeol, has become the country’s third leader to face impeachment proceedings in the National Assembly, following former Presidents Park Geun-hye and Roh Moo-hyun.
The impeachment motion alleges that Yoon’s declaration of martial law, mobilisation of armed forces, and attempt to paralyse the functions of the National Assembly constitute “treasonous acts stemming from the dereliction of duties as the head of state and chief executive, who is constitutionally and legally obligated to command the armed forces.”
As a result, Roh resumed his presidential duties 64 days after his authority had been suspended by the Assembly’s impeachment vote.The Constitutional Court upheld Ms Park’s impeachment, stating that her actions constituted “grave violations of the law that betrayed the trust of the people and were unacceptable from the perspective of upholding the Constitution.”However, the key differences between the two former presidents lie in their status and the nature of the charges brought against them.
