Bentayan assemblyman Gwee Tiong Hiang and Kota Alam Shah assemblyman M. Manoharan were suspended by the party's disciplinary committee for two separate offences.

When contacted, Gwee and Manoharan confirmed they had appealed their suspension to the CEC.

"If they appealed, it would come up. It is a normal process for the CEC to deliberate on it," he said. - Bernama |
