Bersatu's constitutional amendments contravene Federal Constitution, rules Speaker

KUALA LUMPUR: The rogue "Bersatu Six" MPs do not have to vacate their seats as recent amendments to the party constitution go against the Federal Constitution and Parliament regulations.

In a letter from Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul to Bersatu Chief Whip Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee, which was sighted by The Star, Johari said regulations under Clause 10.5 of the Bersatu constitution deny the rights of the five MPs which are enshrined under the Federal Constitution, Parliament Standing Order and the Houses of Parliament (Privileges and Powers) Act 1952.
