Selangor MCA should urge their leaders to resign as cabinet ministers should PAS' effort to amend the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 (Act 355) be given priority in the Dewan Rakyat, said Selangor DAP assistant treasurer Lau Weng San.

Lau said this would be more useful to MCA's effort to state their protest against PAS' proposal, rather than urging DAP to seek the removal of 67 PAS members as local government councilors in Selangor.

"The irony is that Selangor MCA now claim that Selangor DAP is all powerful and influential, that we can dictate the position of councilors in Selangor, although they have accused us of being powerless puppets in the past," said Lau in a statement today.
