KUALA LUMPUR: The six former Bersatu MPs will continue to serve as Independents, after Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul ruled that they need not vacate their seats despite them ceasing to be members of the party.
He maintained that their move to support Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s government was merely to seek funds for their constituents. In his Wednesday ruling that the six men would keep their seats, Johari cited a clause in the Bersatu constitution which he deemed as having denied the rights of these MPs to the privileges of freedom of speech and voting rights, as enshrined in the Federal Constitution and the Dewan Rakyat Standing Orders.
