Yong refuses to go on leave


IPOH: Despite being charged with raping his 23-year-old Indonesian maid and fresh calls for him to go on leave, Paul Yong Choo Kiong insists on continuing with his duties as a Perak executive councillor.

Yong, who is in charge of the Housing, Local Government, Public Transport, Non-Islamic and Village Affairs Committee, is adamant about continuing on even after Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu advised him on Thursday to take leave from his official duties until the rape trial is completed.
