This is indeed a slap in the face for Penang CM and DAP. One of their Penang state assemblyman was found to have copied questions from their nemesis party, Gerakan’s assemblyman which was raised in the last assembly term.
This gaffe was not to be missed by Gerakan, who branded the DAP-led state government a “copy cat” government.
The culprit was Sungai Pinang state assemblyperson Koid Teng Guan who was found to have duplicated the written questions in total from those previously submitted by Gerakan’s former Datuk Keramat assemblyperson Ong Thean Lye on November 19 last year. The three questions were on the monorail project, natural gas vehicle pumping stations and the state sports trust fund.
Even though fellow assemblymen try to cover for him, citing that his act was not a crime nor unethical, I feel that an elected representative should know how to behave. Copying, from the “enemy” no less, is not a examplery act at all.
DAP should send their assemblyman for training first. At least learn to modify a bit la. Even college kids can do better!
