State assembly Speaker says the latest suit is an abuse of process.
Ex-Penang state assemblymen Dr Afif Bahardin, Zulkifli Ibrahim, Khaliq Mehtab Ishaq and Zolkifly Lazim launched a suit to declare a resolution passed in March by the Penang state assembly vacating their seats irregular.
Bukit Tambun assemblyman Law Choo Kiang, who was reappointed Speaker for a third term on Aug 29, has been named as the second defendant in the suit. Khaliq and Zolkifly, who are Bersatu members, said the enactment did not apply to them as they never resigned, nor were they expelled, from PKR, under which banner they contested in the 14th general election in May 2018.
He said the defendants have improperly equated direct membership in a political party with membership of the coalition that party belongs to, so that switching their support for another coalition amounts to party-hopping.
