KUALA LUMPUR: Parti Pejuang Tanah Air’s state assemblyman for Batang Kali, Harumaini Omar denies that he has been absent from Selangor state legislative assembly sittings for more than six months.

He told The Star he had not attended the sessions because he was unwell, and that he had talked to his lawyers to seek legal redress.

“Last year, I attended the sitting in July and the session ended in early August. The next session was in November.

“So, do the six months also include the months that the assembly was not in session?” asked Harumaini.

“I am unsure of my next move, but I wish there was some consideration accorded as the state elections are just a few months away.” 

Selangor state assembly speaker Ng Suee Lim announced in a press conference yesterday that the last time Harumaini attended a state assembly sitting was on July 27 last year and he had absented himself since July 28.
