PH Melaka mahu pindaan Adun lantikan diisytihar tidak berperlembagaan
Gabungan itu menegaskan Perlembagaan Melaka menetapkan bahawa Adun mesti dipilih melalui pilihan raya.
In Melaka, two leaders of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) party, Adly Zahari and Khoo Poay Tiong, have filed a petition to the High Court, seeking a declaration that the State Constitution allowing the appointment of an Assemblyman without a by-election is unconstitutional. The petition was filed last Thursday, ahead of the submission of the writ to the State government and the state legal advisor, today.
Khoo, who doubles as the DAP Melaka Chief, stated that the petition was filed due to the newspaper reporting on the matter, which was recently approved but only began proceedings last Thursday. This is not because the general election is approaching; it is merely a coincidence. Following the approval of the law on July 14, they had declared their intention to take it to court.
They waited until the law was published before filing the petition, as court proceedings can only commence after the publication, said the Melaka MP.
