Sarawak assemblyperson Dr Ting Tiong Choon (DAP - Pujut) has been disqualified from his post, raising the possibility of a by-election.

According to reports the Sarawak state assembly voted 70-10 in favour of Ting’s removal, after Sarawak International Trade and e-Commerce Minister Wong Soon Koh (BN - Bawang Assan), who alleged that Ting held an Australian citizenship, moved a motion against him.
