KUALA LUMPUR, June 21 — Dewan Rakyat deputy speaker Datuk Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar maintained today that the House would have the final say over PKR’s Chua Tian Chang’s status as the Batu MP.

Wan Junaidi said however that the decision would only be made after the House received the official sealed judgment from the High Court.
“We need to take into account several things — including what the judge had in mind when he meted out the decision.
“Once we receive the judgement, a proper study will be done on the documents, perhaps we will speak with some lawyers and even the Attorney-General himself,” he told reporters in Parliament today.
He added that following that, a decision would be made on whether the matter should be brought before the House to be decided on.
“The decision that I am speaking of here is not on whether Chua is disqualified but on whether the judgment should be brought to Parliament; whether Parliament has to be informed that someone has been constitutionally disqualified and if Parliament wants to debate on it, they can go ahead,” he said.
