Speaker, Datuk Law Choo Kiang said that until now, there is no official confirmation of the Islamist party’s position Salleh Man whether he was in the opposition, or vice versa.
“This issue, I just read it in the newspapers only. To date, no official confirmation from the PAS. Therefore, I feel that we need to wait for a formal letter or document for me to run the next task. As long as I did not accept the official letter, I will not take any action on Salleh Man. However, if after the official letter confirmation of PAS sent into my office, then I’ll deal with what is stipulated in the regulations Penang Assembly meeting, “he said on the sidelines of the Penang State Assembly on Friday.
“If this passes after submitting a formal letter to him, it would restructure the seat without engaging the assembly. If after this Pas submit official documents, a conference hall should not be held. It does not involve Dun conference call. If there was, it was only for the seating arrangement only. It’s not a big thing in the hall. However, everything depends on the document or official letter from PAS,” said Choo Kiang.
“Whatever the case there must be a formal confirmation from PAS, “he said during responding to media questions whether Salleh Man still a PAS Assemblyman, adding that until now, Salleh Man did not inform any changes to it. He did not inform me that he is not PAS. He is still a member of PAS and to my knowledge he remained a member of the PAS. That’s all he tell me. In the meantime, Salleh Man found media refused to elaborate the issue, “he said.
