Ting Tiong Choon

The Pujut state seat has been vacant since February when its incumbent, Dr Ting Tiong Choon of DAP was disqualified for having dual nationality, namely Australian and Malaysian citizenship.

The Sarawak State Legislative Assembly (DUN) will file a notice of appeal against the Kuching High Court's ruling that the disqualification of Dr Ting Tiong Choon as Pujut assembyman.

The high court's decision should be examined more seriously to ensure there was a clear separation of powers in a democratic system.

Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg said the state government respected the decision of the High Court but would appeal to the Federal Court.

"The court has decided and we respect its decision," he said in a statement here.

In a statement today, he said, EC would take further action in line with the court's decision.

"I have not done anything wrong and have not wronged the people of Pujut... and I slept well every night before the proceeding today," he told reporters outside the court here today.

Dr Ting Tiong Choon remains as Pujut assemblyman, Kuching High Court ruled today.

He said it was only natural that before any general election or by-election, some individuals would go around promoting themselves as potential candidates.

Barisan Nasional (BN)'s objective in facing the Pujut state by-election is very clear, that is to win the seat, said Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas.

DAP has claimed that the action contradicted with the court's earlier decision to dismiss a petition filed to challenge the result of the Pujut seat.

DAP's state assemblyman Dr Ting Tiong Choon who was disqualified as Pujut assemblyman can challenge the decision in court but his chances of achieving a positive result is pretty slim.
