00:00Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli and Setia Wangsa MP Nick Nazmi Nick Ahmad said their decision to vacate their parliamentary seats
00:08after deciding to join party Bersama Malaysia is aimed at avoiding anti-hopping law implications.
00:15Rafizi said the decision to vacate their seats was meant to allow Dewan Rakyat Speaker Johari Abdul to determine whether
00:22by-elections were necessary.
00:24Rafizi said they believe that vacating their seats would remove any anti-hopping implications as they were returning the mandate
00:32to voters.
00:33Earlier, PKR Secretary-General Fuzia Saleh said the party is preparing to invoke the anti-hopping law against Rafizi and
00:40Nick Nazmi following their announcement that they are taking over party Bersama Malaysia.
00:45Fuzia said she would be writing to Dewan Rakyat Speaker Johari Abdul to seek clarification on whether the duo's actions
00:52fall under the provisions of the anti-party hopping law.
00:56She also announced that PKR has terminated Rafizi and Nick Nazmi's membership following their announcement.
