PENANG, April 16 — Embattled Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin, who quit as Penang deputy chief minister 1 last week, today resigned his Penanti state seat, paving the way for a by-election.
In a three-paragraph statement today, Fairus said the decision will allow him to continue his post-graduate studies.
“This will also allow me to focus on clearing my name from all the allegations thrown at me,” Fairus said.
