PETALING JAYA: Elected representatives should put national, state and public interests above that of their respective parties, former minister Salleh Said Keruak said in defending an opposition MP who caught flak for backing the current government.
Salleh said even though it was the party who provided a politician with the opportunity to be an electoral candidate, it was voters “who actually elect us into being an MP or assemblyman”.“Therefore, we should all analyse and evaluate the issue at hand, see the bigger picture and understand its broader perspective when making a decision in Parliament or the state assembly,” he said in a Facebook post.
