Rembia’s association with PAS could have consequences, says Melaka CM

KUALA LUMPUR: Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh said Rembia assemblyman Datuk Muhammad Jailani Khamis (pic), who left Umno to join PAS, may have to face repercussions for reneging an agreement he had signed to qualify as a candidate for the state elections in 2021.

He said a letter of undertaking signed by Muhammad Jailani and also other Barisan Nasional assemblymen prior to being selected as candidates and elected to the position states that if they choose to defect or leave for another political party, they are required to compensate the party for the costs incurred to enable them to contest in the elections and subsequently be picked as a state representative.
