The DAP disciplinary committee is set to hear a complaint against Perak state party secretary Nga Kor Ming in relation to the ‘lounge suit’ controversy.
The committee is expected to convene a meeting ‘within a fortnight’, according to its chairman Tan Kok Wai.
“A complaint was lodged by the Greentown branch in Ipoh against Nga over the lounge suit controversy.
“We will initiate an investigation and hold a hearing within a fortnight,” said Tan.
The lounge suit controversy against Nga, who is also Taiping MP and Pantai Remis state rep, surfaced last month when blogger Ahmad Sofian Yahya, also known as Sekupang Dua, first published documents that implicated Nga in a lounge suit tailoring contract in 2008.
Nga is alleged to have used his position as a state executive councillor to gain for Ethan & Elton a contract to tailor lounge suits in 2008, when Pakatan Rakyat ruled Perak.
Nga’s wife Wong Seow Ching is a director in the company.
Nga however denied the allegations and filed a RM10 million defemation suit against Ahmad yesterday.
Tan added that the hearing could not be conducted last night since it was only a routine central executive committee (CEC).
“The CEC should not interfere in a disciplinary committee meeting. Furthermore Nga could not attend last night’s meeting as he had to attend to some functions in Perak,” said Tan who is also Cheras MP.
