RSN Rayer and A Tanasekharan submitted a joint appeal against the not-guilty verdict delivered by DAP's disciplinary committee yesterday.
GEORGE TOWN: An appeal has been filed against the DAP decision to clear the party’s deputy secretary-general, P Ramasamy, of all charges of breach of internal discipline.
State assemblymen RSN Rayer of Seri Delima and A Tanasekharan of Bagan Dalam submitted a joint appeal today against the not-guilty verdict that the party’s disciplinary committee delivered yesterday.
“We have filed an appeal against the decision by the disciplinary board to clear Ramasamy from the charges of organising a disgraceful demonstration against Karpal Singh, and also the charges of breaching a gag order,” the assemblymen said in a brief written statement to the press.
The party’s central executive committee is expected to deliberate on the petition soon.
Ramasamy was charged with organising a demonstration against party chairman Karpal, Rayer and Tanasekharan before the Penang DAP convention last Dec 11.
The charge of breaching a gag order was related to a Dec 23 article in The Star.
Ramasamy has filed a RM10 million suit against the daily and the reporter who wrote the article, which he said was defamatory.
The disciplinary committee began its investigation after receiving complaints from Tanasekharan, Rayer and 31 other members. A three-member panel headed by Tan Kok Wai held an inquiry on the allegations at party headquarters in Kuala Lumpur on Feb 16. Fifteen party members testified against Ramasamy.
In announcing the verdict yesterday, Tan, who is the MP for Cheras, said Ramasamy was not behind the demonstration against Karpal.
“The committee holds that Ramasamy did not commit any disciplinary wrongdoing,” he said, adding that the demonstration was carried out by non-DAP members.

After many years we indians are able to see an indian "Deputy Chief Minister" in Penang, the man is surely well educated. So far we have not heard any kind of scandals, so why not leave him alone to do his job well. The actual reasons that I can think of why indians are backward and suffering due to "Jealosy, backbiting, non-coperation, lack of appreciation" Honestly I have not met or seen this Mr. Ramasamy but I am full of appreciation, because he is an indian.
