Forcing Bersatu turncoat reps to quit is illegal

Bersatu’s insistence for the six elected representatives who have pledged support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to step down from their positions is a form of intimidation that can be dealt with by the law.

Adjunct Professor Sabirin Ja’afar said the statements by several Bersatu leaders, particularly party information chief Razali Idris, can be seen as an attempt to interfere in an elected representative’s duty as per the Penal Code.
