Tian Chua has 14 days to appeal against expulsion


PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail is confident Tian Chua will make use of the appeal process.


SEPANG: Sacked former PKR vice-president Tian Chua can submit an appeal against his dismissal within 14 days, says PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

He said Tian Chua’s termination was recommended by the party’s disciplinary committee.


“In any party disciplinary decision, there is room to submit an appeal within 14 days.

“I am confident that he (Tian Chua) will take advantage of this appeal process.

“From there, the appeal board will examine the basis of the request,” he told reporters after inspecting operations at KLIA here today.

Tian Chua and four other PKR members were sacked for contesting in the 15th general election (GE15) and the 12th Sarawak state elections, without the party’s consent.

The other four members are Puah Chee Haur, from the party’s Parit Buntar branch, Ahmad Tarmizi Ghazali (Gopeng), M Mohganan (Taiping) and Nur Khairunisa Abdullah (Sadong Jaya).

PKR disciplinary board committee chairman Tan Yee Kew said the decision was made during the party’s central leadership council meeting yesterday.


In GE15, the former Batu MP contested the seat as an independent candidate, while Puah and Tarmizi represented Warisan to contest the Keranji and Chenderiang state seats, both in Perak.

Mohganan had contested the Taping parliamentary seat on an independent ticket and Nur Khairunisa contested in the Sadong Jaya state constituency during the Sarawak state elections under Parti Sarawak Bersatu.
