Tanjong Karang MP Noh Omar who is also the agriculture and agro-based industries minister told opposition counterparts to stay out of the problems between him and Sekinchan state assemblyperson Ng Suee Lim and said that he has sent a letter to Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim and all the state's assembly representatives from both sides of the divide regarding plantation issues.
In a face-off with Batu Gajah DAP parliamentarian Fong Po Kuan in the Dewan Rakyat today, Fong demanded to know why the minister had justified the assault on Ng. Fong also asked Noh (left) to clarify why he condoned the attack and defended it by saying that Ng “deserved it” for holding a rally without a police permit.
On Nov 4, Ng was warded for concussion after he was allegedly assaulted by 30 men at Sawah Sempadan which borders the Tanjong Karang parlimentary constituency and the Sekinchan state constituency.
Fong accused Noh, saying, “You are an embarrassment to the government with your gangster attitude...minister, you are lucky there is no cabinet reshuffle soon. Otherwise you will definitely be dropped.”
Why did you say the Sekinchan assemblyman deserved it? Why are you encouraging violent behaviour?” Fong asked Noh once more.
