IPOH: Although state exco member Paul Yong Choo Kiong will be back to work as usual today, Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu said he may be asked to go on leave if the police investigation takes too long.

Yong’s private secretary Teoh Hui Yng said Yong, who is accused of raping his Indonesian maid, would be carrying out his duties at his office at the state secretariat building here, although he had been busy during the past few days dealing with the accusation.
