The Selangor state legislative assembly has not received any notice regarding the status of Selat Klang state assemblyperson Abdul Rashid Asari following the revocation of his Bersatu membership.
Speaker Lau Weng San said he is waiting for official notification from the opposition before making any decision regarding Abdul Rashid's position.
"So far, we have not received any letter. All actions will be based on the Selangor constitution and related laws," Lau (above) told Bernama today.
Earlier, Bersatu Youth chief Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal urged Lau to declare the Selat Klang seat vacant after Bersatu revoked Abdul Rashid's membership for failing to respond to a directive from the supreme leadership council to pledge loyalty to the party.
Abdul Rashid had previously declared his support for the leadership of Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari.
Yesterday, Kelantan state assembly speaker Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah declared the Nenggiri seat vacant after receiving a written notice according to clause (3) of Article 31A of the Kelantan State Constitution on June 13.
Amar said Bersatu also informed him on June 12 that the party had revoked the membership of Nenggiri assemblyperson Mohd Azizi Abu Naim, resulting in a casual vacancy for the seat.
