In 1978 whilst he was still a teacher, he again stood for election for the State seat of Bukit Raja and the Port Klang Parliamentary seat, again as a DAP candidate and he was also given no pay leave to campaign but he lost in both seats.
Here I pause to state that whilst he considers the 1977 Regulations were made ultra vires, the plaintiff, however, accepts the validity of the 1972 Rules which, like the 1977 Regulations, were also made by the first defendant pursuant to his power under s 116(p) of the Act.
Then again after the 1978 general election, the second defendant requested for his resignation but he did not adhere to this request and the fact that no further action was taken by the second defendant after the 1978 general election could not possibly mean that the second defendant approved of the plaintiff’s conduct.

The suspension of DAP Sg Pinang State Asssemblyperson Teng Chang Khim from the Selangor State Assembly for 5 sitting days plus the reference to the Privilege Committee for further disciplinary action is clearly a cowardly act on the part of Barisan Nasional leaders to prevent the opposition from questioning and exposing their wrongdoings and weaknesses.
As the Assembly only sits for two days per session, it means Teng will not be able to perform his duty for the rest of the year, i.e.

 Federal-state relations in Malaysia: Sabah truly Malaysia?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
One of the main justifications for the continuation of immigration controls for the East Malaysian states is that these extra powers were agreed to as part of the formation of Malaysia and that changing them now would be akin to reneging on the guarantees afforded Sabah and Sarawak at independence.
Already, many Sabahans feel that their state has been neglected in the development drive pursued by the Federal government; an opening of the borders may result in what little development opportunities there are being captured by individuals and companies close to the powers-that-be in Kuala Lumpur.
With the Sabah state assembly now dominated by UMNO politicians whose direct political masters lie not in Kota Kinabalu but KL (see AM 2004:3), there is a risk that such federal pressure might indeed be brought to bear.

SIS is even more concerned that, instead of removing or at least minimising the discriminatory provisions, the new Islamic Family Law Bill, which has now been passed by the Selangor State Legislative Assembly, actually has the effect of increasing discrimination against Muslim women.

Many voters -- especially the Chinese and Indian minorities -- had feared Islamic fundamentalism was on the rise in Malaysia, a country that has detained scores of suspected terrorists in the past two years, some linked to al Qaeda.
