State assembly speaker ticked off A Tanasekharan for repeating his accusation that Umno was using Perkasa to incite racial hatred.
GEORGE TOWN: DAP’s A Tanasekharan was given a final warning by the state assembly for linking Perkasa with Umno.
The Bagan Dalam assemblyman was warned earlier by Speaker Law Choo Kiang not to repeat his accusation that Umno was using Perkasa to hold anti-state government demonstrations and inciting racial hatred.
When Tanasekharan, a lawyer, kept repeating the allegations from a prepared text, Law firmly told him to stop and issued a final warning to him.
Earlier when Tanasekharan made the allegations on Umno–Perkasa link, Umno assemblyman Muhamad Farid Saad (BN–Pulau Betong) interrupted and requested the House Speaker to demand the DAP representative to retract and not to repeat the remarks.
“Umno is Umno, Perkasa is Perkasa. I also can link DAP with so many things.
“I don’t want to do it,” said Farid when making the request to Law.
When Tanasekharan kept repeating the remarks by reading from prepared statement, Farid reminded the DAP representative for breaching the House standing order.
Under the standing order, he said a legislator should not be delivering a speech by looking through a prepared text unless for reference.
Following Farid’s complaint, Law issued the warning to Tanasekharan, who then did not repeat his allegations when debating the speech by Governor Abdul Rahman Abbas.
Earlier this morning, Opposition Leader Jahara Abdul Hamid (BN–Teluk Air Tawar) called on the state government to look into financial difficulties faced by Bumiputeras on property ownership in Penang.
She claimed that compared with other ethnic groups, Bumi households were earning lower monthly income of an average of RM4,457 in 2012.
She claimed that ethnic Chinese earned RM6,300 while Indians earned RM5,230.
She said that Bumiputera ownership of properties was only two percent eventhough they made up nearly 51% of state population.
“It’s the state government’s responsibility to narrow down these differences between Bumiputeras and other ethnic groups,” Jahara said during debate on the Governor’s speech.
She called on the state government to focus on providing affordable housing for Penangites.
Expressing dissatisfaction with the state government initiatives to build affordable houses thus far, she said such schemes must cater to needs, demands and aspirations of the people as well
