Penang Perikatan cries foul over decision to vacate four Bersatu seats

GEORGE TOWN: The DAP-led Penang state government has been accused of "snatching away the mandate of the people" by ordering four Bersatu assemblymen to vacate their seats in the state assembly.

Seberang Jaya assemblyman Dr Afif Bahardin said it should be left to the people to decide if the assemblymen would continue to serve in the upcoming state elections instead of being barred from representing their voice in the upcoming assembly.
