SIBU: Assistant Minister of Youth Development Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah expressed surprise over the unbecoming acts of the Miri MP.
Abdul Karim, who is Asajaya assemblyman, said the gangster-like manner does not bode well with the MP and assemblyman being elected representatives.
He felt they should have gone through a proper channel to voice their discontent.
He was referring to the news report carried by The Borneo Post, where an MP and assemblyman lost their cool in the sweltering heat on Wednesday morning – shouting and shoving at a representative of Marina Park developer over parking lots at Miri Waterfront Commercial Centre.
It was reported that Miri MP Dr Michael Teo and Pujut assemblyman Fong Pau Teck were angry after a heated argument with representative from the developer who insisted that the project was legal and above board.
Both had earlier been reported to have stopped the contractor from continuing with their parking lot conversion work.
A police team had to be called in while the drama attracted a sizeable crowd.
Abdul Karim said: “This gangster-like manner does not augur well for an MP and assemblyman who are duly elected by the Rakyat.
“Even if there is unhappiness by him and another YB, the proper recourse should be to lodge a formal complaint and don’t take the law into his own hands.
“Don’t be a ‘low class’ YB who acts ‘macam gangster’ as depicted in the picture,” Abdul Karim remarked.
