KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 12 — Ramkarpal Singh Deo has vacated his position as deputy minister in charge of legal affairs to prevent allegations that the DAP practises nepotism, the party secretary-general Anthony Loke revealed in a press conference this evening.
Loke said Ramkarpal decided so after learning his brother Gobind would return to the Cabinet as the digital minister.
“He was not comfortable by the fact that his brother is a minister and he is a deputy minister,” Loke told reporters at the DAP headquarters here.
Ramkarpal is replaced by M Kulasegaran, also from DAP and formerly the human resources minister.
