00:00Day One Rakyat Speaker Johari Abdul was entitled to exercise his independent judgment when
00:09ruling that the six former Versatu MPs would not need to vacate their seats.
00:15This is what lawyer Firoz Hussein Ahmad Jamaluddin told FMT, adding that Johari was not obliged
00:21to follow his Kelantan counterpart, who declared the Negeri state seat vacant last month.
00:27Firoz said parliament exists independently and its speaker is not bound by the decisions
00:33made by any of the state assemblies.
00:36Versatu President Muhyiddin Yassin previously expressed his disappointment in Johari for
00:41refusing to follow the precedents set by Kelantan State Assembly Speaker Ammar Abdullah.
00:47Muhyiddin said the party will appoint lawyers to challenge Johari's decision in court.
00:53However, constitutional lawyer Bastion Pius Vandargan said that as a general rule, the
00:58speaker's decision cannot be challenged in a court of law.
01:03Vandargan said Perikatan Nasional's first hurdle will be to satisfy the court that an
01:07independent judiciary can interfere in the affairs of an independent legislature.
