Lim Hui Ying

May I answer it through a written reply?

— Lim Hui Ying

An MP from Perikatan Nasional urged Lim to resign for failing to prepare an answer during the oral question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat. ^[7] Meanwhile, MCA Youth secretary-general Daniel Wa Wai How said Lim’s salary should be docked by RM10, citing past DAP calls for the same type of punishment against ministers. ^[8] Shortly after the incident, her special aide issued an apology, saying that the situation was “out of the ordinary”. ^[9]
