The ethics of by-elections | Newsflash

PETALING JAYA: While the Port Dickson by-election is constitutionally legal, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has done himself a “disservice” by using it to pave the way to becoming Prime Minister, say experts.

“Although it’s allowed, it (the PD by-elections) is a breach of trust of the voters, a waste of public funds, and an unnecessary burden on the election commission and on the voters,” said constitutional law professor Shad Saleem Faruqi.
