Johor rep proposes select committee on corruption

A DAP assemblyperson has submitted an emergency motion to the Johor Legislature, urging the formation of a select committee to monitor the ongoing graft probe involving the abuses linked to real estate in the state.

The motion was submitted under Standing Order 30 (2) of the state legislature by Pekan Nenas assemblyperson Yeo Tung Siong and endorsed by Penggaram assemblyperson Gan Peck Cheng.

Yeo stated that the matter was urgent and should be given priority in the upcoming Johor assembly sitting on March 9 to repair the credibility of the state government and prevent further leakages.
