KUALA LUMPUR: Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun has rubbished suggestions that he was biased towards Datuk Seri Najib Razak when he said the former premier remained the Pekan MP despite his conviction.
He said under Article 48(1)(e) of the Federal Constitution, an individual is disqualified as a member of either House of Parliament if they have been convicted of an offence and sentenced to imprisonment for a term of not less than one year or a fine of not less than RM2,000, and have not received a pardon.
