Pandikar Amin: Pakatan MPs face disqualification if not sworn in within six months


KUALA LUMPUR: Pakatan Rakyat members of parliament (MP) have been warned that they face the threat of disqualification if they deliberately boycott the swearing-in ceremony of parliamentarians on June 24, said Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia.

He said that the swearing-in of MPs would be the constitutional order of the day and a failure to take the oath within six months of the start of proceedings, without a reasonable excuse, would lead to automatic disqualification.
