Perak exco member Paul Yong was visibly vexed when quizzed on Perak Menteri Besar Ahmad Faizal Azumu advising him to go on leave pending his court case.
“I am still the state exco member. I represent the people. I have not been convicted,” he retorted when questioned on the matter outside the Ipoh Sessions Court this morning.
Asked if this means he would continue working, Yong replied: “Of course! The people have given me the mandate, I have to serve them. Why should I stop? Why must I go on leave?”
Earlier, the Tronoh assemblyperson claimed trial to a charge under Section 376 of the Penal Code for allegedly raping his former Indonesian domestic worker.
The court allowed the 49-year-old politician bail at RM15,000 with one surety.
