Selangor PAS Youth chief Sukri Omar has called for Sri Kembangan assemblyman Wong Siew Ki to be suspended from state assembly sittings for up to 12 months.
This demand follows her proposal for a modern, closed pig farming system in the state, which Sukri claims contradicts a royal decree.
Sukri condemned the proposal made by the DAP representative, who suggested that the government and investors explore advanced systems, including zero-discharge and biogas recycling technologies.
He argued that the core issue is not the technology being proposed, but rather a lack of respect for the state ruler’s directive.
He noted that the state government had previously decided to stop issuing pig farming licences in all districts.
This policy includes the gradual closure of existing farms and meeting local demand through imports instead of local production.
Calls for strict disciplinary action
In a statement issued today, Sukri described attempts to revive pig farming proposals as rude, even when framed with modern terminology.
He emphasised that elected representatives must understand that the freedom of debate does not grant a licence to revisit matters that have been finalised at the highest level.
He pointed out that the royal decree regarding the cessation of pig farming in Selangor was clear.
Sukri urged the state assembly speaker and the relevant committee to examine the matter closely and consider firm disciplinary action against Wong.
According to Sukri, such matters cannot be taken lightly as they affect the dignity of the assembly, state protocol, and the integrity of state institutions.
He added that technical terms should not be used to hide attempts to revive activities that have been clearly rejected by the state.
Background of the state policy
The tension stems from a directive issued in February, when Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah called for a complete end to pig farming in Selangor.
The state ruler cited the environmental impact of such activities and the specific demographic make-up of the state as primary reasons for the decision.
Sukri reiterated that all parties must respect the institution of the constitutional monarchy and the finalised decisions regarding state policy.
The call for a 12-month suspension highlights the severity with which PAS Youth views the perceived challenge to the royal decree.
