DAP MP Er Teck Hwa had breached party discipline by attending today’s briefing session at the Parliament, said party national organising secretary Anthony Loke.

“We have informed all our MPs (on the boycott). This is the decision.

“In Er’s case, he had breached party discipline by not following our directive,” said Loke.

Pakatan Rakyat decided to boycott the briefing session at the Parliament to protest against irregularities in the general election.

However, Er was seen present at the briefing session today despite the boycott.

Asked on the matter, Er said that it was his personal decision to attend the briefing as he wanted to know the guidelines for the new parliamentary session.

Loke, who is also DAP whip chief, said that the party would ask Er to explain the matter in writing soon.

“If his answer is not satisfactory, Er will be referred to the disciplinary committee,” said the Rasah MP.
