Perak BN to introduce appointed assemblymen if it wins GE15

[superadmin]

IPOH: Perak Barisan Nasional will introduce appointed assemblymen to the state assembly should it obtain a two-thirds majority in the 15th general election, its chairman Saarani Mohamad said.

A two-thirds majority, he said, would allow the state government to amend the Perak constitution and allow it to appoint assemblymen from minority and youth groups without the need for elections.

Saarani said similar amendments had been made in Sabah.

“Amendments to Sabah’s constitution were made to give the winning party the right to appoint six assemblymen without having to go through elections.
