PN chief Muhyiddin Yassin has argued that lawmakers should not automatically lose their seats if they are sacked by their parties.<br /><br />Speaking in Dewan Rakyat, Muhyiddin said under the law, even a convicted MP will not lose their seat until all legal avenues are exhausted.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Julau MP Larry Sng told the Dewan Rakyat that MPs who win their seat as independents should not be subjected to anti-hopping laws.<br /><br />Sng said if such laws are used to prevent an independent from joining a party mid-term, then it would be a violation of constitutional rights to freedom of association.
