PETALING JAYA: Labuan MP Suhaili Abdul Rahman has filed a suit to challenge his expulsion from Bersatu for pledging his support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s unity government.
The 63-year-old three-term MP, who filed a writ at the High Court here on July 1 through solicitors Firoz Julian, said he was expelled without being accorded the right to be heard before the disciplinary board.Suhaili said his expulsion for expressing the support of his constituents in Labuan for the prime minister was contrary to the freedom of speech and association guaranteed under Article 10 of the Federal Constitution.
He said it also violated Article 5 of the constitution by depriving him of his right to earn a livelihood as Labuan MP.Suhaili also said Bersatu had contravened its constitution and breached the contract of membership entered between him and the party. In his statement of claim, Suhaili said the letter claimed he had tarnished the image of the party by expressing support for Anwar.
