The Dewan Rakyat has yet to receive any notification from Bersatu concerning the status of its six MPs who had pledged support to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, following the amendment to the party constitution recently.
Speaker Johari Abdul said, as such, the status of the six MPs remains unchanged.
“As long as it does not involve the Parliament, I shall not be bothered. It’s their political issue and also an administrative issue that they have to settle with the Registrar of Societies (ROS). If they notify me, then, I’ll do the necessary.
“So far, I have not received any notification, letter or email (from them). So, I take it as nothing happened,” Johari told reporters after receiving a courtesy call from the House Committee of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region at the Parliament building today.
Johari said he also would not interfere in Bersatu affairs.
On April 2, ROS approved the amendment to the Bersatu’s constitution which enabled the party to act against its MPs who declared their support for Anwar-led government.
Through this amendment, the six Bersatu lawmakers must immediately vacate their seats.
They are Zulkafperi Hanapi (Tanjung Karang), Zahari Kechik (Jeli), Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid (Kuala Kangsar), Syed Abu Hussin Hafiz Syed Abdul Fasal (Bukit Gantang), Suhaili Abdul Rahman (Labuan) and Mohd Azizi Abu Naim (Gua Musang).
