#KiniNews: Muhyiddin hits back at Anwar over six ex-Bersatu MPs; Speaker erred in ruling - Bersih

[KiniNews] Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin said it is Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, not Bersatu, who has failed to understand the Federal Constitution.

This is after Anwar accused Bersatu’s leadership of cherry-picking the Constitution when objecting to a ruling by Dewan Rakyat speaker Johari Abdul not to vacate the seats of six former Bersatu MPs.

“I want to ask Anwar, which part (of the Constitution) did I not read?” said Muhyiddin.

Meanwhile, Bersih has claimed that Johari had made a mistake in rejecting Bersatu’s bid to vacate the seats of six MPs whose party membership had been forfeited.

The electoral watchdog asserted that the speaker erred in understanding the mechanism of the anti-hopping law and disregarded the principles and intentions behind the enactment, which may lead to political instability in the future.
