PETALING JAYA: The Dewan Rakyat Speaker’s decision to let six rogue Bersatu MPs keep their seats has exposed a weakness in the anti-hopping law as it shows different legislatures can interpret the law differently, say legal experts.
While Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul ruled that the six Bersatu MPs did not have to vacate their seats, the Speaker of the Kelantan Assembly ruled differently – a rogue Bersatu assemblyman had to vacate his.
