KUCHING: The country’s laws must be respected to ensure that there is socio-political order, said Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Women chief Datuk Seri Fatimah Abdullah.
She said this when commenting on Democratic
Action Party’s Dr Ting Tiong Choon disqualification as Pujut assemblyman
yesterday.
“The Federal Court made a decision –- seven to
two — a majority decision,” she said.
She said this to reporters after officiating at
a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signing ceremony and briefing on Kenyalang
Gold Card (KGC) at Waterfront Hotel here, yesterday.
“The verdict has been made, so that’s it. It is
a lesson to us all that we have to respect the law,” she said.
Fatimah, who is also Welfare, Community
Wellbeing, Women, Family and Childhood Development Minister, said that the
court process and decision were very clear.
The decision was against Dr Ting for his past
Australian citizenship which he renounced in order to contest in Pujut
constituency.
When the case came up in 2017, the Kuching High
Court ruled against the state legislature’s decision to dismiss Dr Ting. It was
then brought before the Court of Appeal where the appeal was dismissed.
