KUALA LUMPUR, June 11 — Pakatan Rakyat (PR) elected representatives will be dropped as MPs if they choose to boycott the swearing-in process, Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia warned today.
Pandikar said should the opposition bloc refuse to participate in the procedure, he and his deputies will shun their appeal to be sworn in later, which would lead to their eventual discharge as MPs.
“If you do not come on the first day, is it not an insult (to the parliamentary process?) If they want to do that then we can boycott their swearing in.
“If they can boycott the democratic system, we will boycott their swearing in,” the House Speaker told a press conference after giving his opening speech at the 13th Parliament Sitting briefing session.
