00:01One of Muda's key priorities if elected to the Johor Legislative Assembly is to push for the

00:07abolition of the constitutional amendment that allows the appointment of five unelected assemblymen.

00:13Muda President Amira Ayesha Abdul Aziz said it was one of the most illogical laws because it

00:19undermines the people's rights. Amira said the party wants to prevent defeated or overlooked

00:25candidates from seeking consolation appointments as nominated assemblymen after elections.

00:30Amira said Johor UMNO had previously justified the new law on the grounds that the additional

00:35assemblymen would bring expertise to the state assembly.

01:05She was responding to speculation that PAS might seek a nominated assemblyman's post from

01:11BN if the coalition formed the government again. On May 7, the Johor State Assembly passed a

01:18constitutional amendment bill allowing for the appointment of five unelected assemblymen increasing

01:24the total number of state representatives to 61.
