GEORGE TOWN, Sept 14 — The Penang High Court will decide whether to allow amendments to the case relating to four state assemblymen who filed an originating summons against the Penang state assembly from passing a motion to vacate their seats, on October 6.

“The decision will be delivered via email to both parties on October 6, with an e-review for further instructions about the OS, since both lawyers are based in Kuala Lumpur,” he said. “It infringes on their freedom of speech because if they were to speak differently, they may be expelled by their party and have to vacate their seat under Article 14A of the Penang State Constitution,” he said.

Article 14A of the state constitution stipulates that a state assemblyman should vacate his seat if he resigns, is stripped of his membership, ceases to be a politician, or is chosen as a candidate by another political party.
