No by-election for Batu Lintang, says Sarawak Speaker


KUCHING: There will be no by-election for the Sarawak state constituency of Batu Lintang despite the fact that the incumbent See Chee How who won the seat on a Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) ticket left the party recently.

Sarawak State Assembly Speaker Tan Sri Mohamad Asfia Awang Nasar said that he was unable to determine that See’s action disqualified him from being a state assemblyman based on Article 17(7)(a) of the Sarawak Constitution.
