THE status of the six Bersatu MPs will be determined by the Dewan Rakyat speaker, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Zahid said he believed the status of the six representatives will be determined based on the provisions contained in the anti-party hopping law.
“We leave it to the speaker’s discretion and await the parliamentary session at the end of this month,” he was quoted telling reporters today.
On May 17, Bersatu gave the six MPs who declared their support for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim 14 days to explain themselves in writing to its supreme council.
The six had their membership revoked immediately after failing to respond.
They are Datuk Syed Abu Hussin Hafiz Syed Abdul Fasal (Bukit Gantang), Zahari Kechik (Jeli), Mohd Azizi Abu Naim (Gua Musang), Datuk Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid (Kuala Kangsar), Datuk Suhaili Abdul Rahman (Labuan) and Datuk Zulkafperi Hanafi (Tanjong Karang).
Yesterday, Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul said he had not received official notice from any party regarding the vacating of seats involving six Bersatu MPs who had their party membership revoked. – June 8, 2024.
