KUCHING: The Dewan Undangan Negeri erupted into chaos after Pujut assemblyman Dr Ting Tiong Choon slammed the Amanah Saham Sarawak (Assar) booklet during the Chief Minister’s winding up speech at the DUN yesterday.

Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah and Jepak assemblyman Datuk Talib Zulpilip who thought that he slammed the Standing Order (SO) booklet demanded that he apologise.

However, Dr Ting clarified that it was not the SO booklet but the Assar booklet that he slammed .

DUN Speaker Datuk Amar Mohamad Asfia Awang Nassar threatened to refer him to the disciplinary committee for his behaviour.

Thus, Dr Ting apologised but urged the two GPS lawmakers to have their glasses checked.
