Hundreds sign petition

IPOH: Hundreds of people turned up at the Jelapang market here to sign a petition demanding their assemblyman Hee Yit Foong resign as their elected representative.

Neither the scorching heat or the lack of parking spaces kept them away from ensuring they got the message through to Hee that she was no longer wanted.

Within 90 minutes, 720 signatures were collected from the time the signature campaign started at 9.30am yesterday.

Perak DAP organising secretary Thomas Su Keong Siong said the petition would be handed over to the DAP-turned-Independent assemblyman.

“If she does not want to accept the petition then we will hand it over to her parents at their home in Kanthan, Chemor,” he said.
