KUALA LUMPUR, April 5 ― The six Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) MPs who supported the prime minister do not have to vacate their seats despite the party’s...
Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz says the six Bersatu MPs who supported the prime minister do not have to vacate their seats despite the party’s constitutional amendments that have been approved by the Registrar of Societies.
“I was one of the committee members of the Anti-Party Hopping Act in Parliament at that time and the purpose of this Act was to prevent another movement like the 'Sheraton Move'.“What the six MPs did does not bring down the government, but strengthened it and they never declared to leave the party. Mohamed Nazri also stressed that the Anti-Party Hopping Act was implemented to prevent MPs from gaining profit from the seats they won.
Mohamed Nazri, who is also the Malaysian Ambassador to the United States, said that the issue of declaring support for Anwar is part of freedom of expression and is a fundamental right of Parliament guaranteed by the Federal Constitution. “It is very irresponsible if Bersatu wants six by-elections to be held simply because of revenge and anger towards the six MPs.
