‘Deputy Speaker election delayed to allow amendments’


PETALING JAYA: The postponement of the election of a new Dewan Rakyat Deputy Speaker is not caused by Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia opposing Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan’s candidacy, says Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin.

The Bersatu Srikandi vice-chief said the election had to be postponed because the government wanted to increase the said position from two to three.
