Speaker's decision on turncoat reps can backfire on govt, Shahrir says

Umno veteran Shahrir Samad has warned that Dewan Rakyat speaker Johari Abdul’s decision to allow six Bersatu turncoat representatives to keep their seats could backfire on the government.

Taking to Facebook, Shahrir took a swipe at what he described as a decision not based on principle, but “for self-interest”.
