Johor DAP chief Teo Nie Ching says the municipal order to close the private clinic for 30 days is excessive as the offence was unintentional.

PETALING JAYA: Johor DAP chairman Teo Nie Ching has called for a review of a municipal order to close a private dental clinic in Pontian for 30 days following a gaffe involving the national flag.

Teo said that the order by the Pontian municipal council was excessive as the offence was unintentional, as the police had also determined so.

“I am not defending the actions of the premises. It was wrong but it was an accident. The 30-day closure order is too long. It should be reviewed,” she was quoted as saying, adding that the order had “very bad” implications.
