PERIKATAN Nasional MPs wore white armbands in the Dewan Rakyat as a sign of protest against Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul’s decision not to vacate the seats of six former Bersatu MPs who now sit as Independents.

Several MPs also cited pantun (Malay quatrains), slamming the Speaker’s decision during Question Time in the august House.
