DAP’s Karpal Singh tells Ramasamy to quit as Penang dep CM II

By HAN KAR KAY


GEORGE TOWN: DAP national chairman Karpal Singh has urged Penang Deputy Chief Minister II Dr P. Ramasamy to resign from his post for making serious allegations against party leaders.

“Dr Ramasamy's position in the state government is no longer tenable because he had defied the decision of the party's three-member committee not to refer the party's internal problems to the press,” he said in a press conference on Saturday.

Karpal Singh said Dr Ramasamy had publicly disclosed allegations about party leaders and members without any basis.

He was referring to the report in The Star on Friday quoting Dr Ramasamy as saying his critics were plotting against him because he did not respond to their overtures for projects and favours.

“This is a serious allegation. Till now, Dr Ramasamy has not denied making the statement,” he said.
