Datuk Syed Abu Hussin Hafiz Syed Abdul Fasal maintained that he had not committed any actions that would require the Dewan Rakyat Speaker to declare his seat vacant under the Federal Constitution. — Bernama picKUALA LUMPUR, June 14 — Datuk Syed Abu Hussin Syed Abdul Fasal has asserted that he is still the Member of Parliament for Bukit Gantang despite being sacked by Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia .
Syed Abu supported his claims by stating that he had not violated the terms for vacating the Dewan Rakyat seat under Article 49A of the Federal Constitution.He explained that Article 49A stipulates that an MP’s seat will become vacant if the individual renounces membership in a political party, ceases to be a member of a political party, or joins a political party after being elected as an Independent candidate.
“This means that only the MP has the right to declare that they are either relinquishing their membership in a political party or declaring that they are no longer a member of a political party.“Or if an MP wins independently, they themselves declare joining a political party as a member,” he said. “I have clearly and consistently stated that I am a member of Bersatu all this while,” he was quoted as saying.
