Bayan Baru MP Mohd Zahrain Hashim received a petition from more than 2,000 people asking him to quit before March 15. To be exact, the petition carried 2,108 signatures that were collected in two days from constituents residing around the Bayan Baru market and Tapak Pesta area in Sungai Nibong, Penang and was handed over to Zahrain by Bayan Baru division leader Ahmad Azrizal Tahir at the Dewan Tabung Haji in Bayan Lepas, about 4pm yesterday.
Malaysiakini could not contact Zahrain for comments last night despite several attempts on his mobile phoneno response to mobile text messsages to the parliamentarian. Also, there was no response to mobile text messsages to the parliamentarian.
State Assemblyperson for Pantai Jerejak (Pantai Jerejak is a state seat under Bayan Baru), Sim Tze Tsin said, "I was told that Zahrain was shocked, looked pale and discouraged upon receiving the petition, but he accepted it anyway, as the people have spoken." He also claimed that this was Zahrain's first visit to his constituency after a three-month 'disappearance' but the MP had clarified in a news report that he had been away in the US with several BN MPs since his resignation from the party.
