IPOH, Aug 3 — Parti Bangsa Malaysia president Larry Sng has said the party will continue to contest the Tronoh state seat in Perak in the next general election regardless of the party’s incumbent lawmaker Paul Yong’s rape conviction status.

Meanwhile, PBM deputy president Haniza Mohamed Talha insisted that Yong has only taken garden leave from active politics, but will continue servicing the constituency. On July 27, the High Court in Ipoh sentenced the Tronoh assemblyman to 13 years’ jail and two strokes of the cane after finding him guilty of raping his former Indonesian domestic helper.

Subsequently, on July 29, PBM’s information chief Zakaria Abdul Hamid in a statement announced that Yong will take leave from active politics until the appeal against his rape conviction is concluded.
