Protesters barge into Dewan in search of DAP rep

The noisy protest outside the Penang state legislative building today escalated with about 10 protesters barging into the Dewan.

They entered the hall and one even tried to climb on Speaker's Law Choo Kiang's table.

Law was not present at the time but his colleagues, assemblymen Cheah Kah Peng and Jagdeep Singh Deo were around.

They shouted, "Where is Rayer's seat?" as they looked for the DAP Seri Delima assemblyperson.

Also annoyed were the media as many were not allowed into the premises.

Police personnel guarding the gate remained unmoved as reporters pleaded to be allowed in to do their job, waving their tags to no avail.
