The three independent Perak State Assemblymen who quit their parties will keep their seats after the Federal Court ruled that the Election Commission had the right to decide whether state seats are vacant today.
Jelapang assemblyman Hee Yit Foong, Behrang assemblyman Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi and Changkat Jering assemblyman Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu resigned from their political parties in the Pakatan Rakyat coalition government in February and had threw their support behind the Barisan Nasional as independents, causing the fall of the Pakatan state government.
Perak State Assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar announced that three had quit their seats as well, based on an undated resignation letter the three had previously signed but the Assemblymen had denied this.
Speaker Sivakumar had asked the Commission to declare the seats vacant and to call for by-elections, but the Commission did not do so.

the frogs will received their punishment from higher up.
ameen.
Does this mean that the Election Commission can also declare vacant the Selangor seat (Kota Raja ?) that was won by a currently incarcerated person ?
Isn't the EC part of the Executive and the Speaker part of the Legislative branches of govt ?
we the ordinary rakyat, though learned to a certain extent, need not be a high flier to seek out the loads of rubbish we have been made to consummate lately by the BN..ha ha, the wayang goes on and on. wonder when will it ever end?
