BN rep ejected for a day

An opposition member was suspended from today's sitting of the Selangor legislative assembly, as the alleged sand-mining scandal continued to haunt the state government led by Pakatan Rakyat. Speaker Teng Chang Khim (right) ejected and suspended Abdul Shukor Idrus (BN-Kuang) for defying his directive.

Abdul Shukor was seeking clarification on why his motion to discuss the sand mining scandal had been rejected.
