PETALING JAYA: The Sarawak state assembly’s decision to disqualify DAP’s Pujut assemblyman Dr Ting Tiong Choon is lawful, says constitutional lawyer Syahredzan Johan.

He said the state assembly has a right under the state constitution to disqualify an elected representative if they are found to have voluntarily acquired the citizenship of another country.
