Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) communications director Khalid Samad is facing the risk of losing his Shah Alam seat in Parliament and being disqualified from contesting in the next general election.

This is after the Klang Syariah Court fined him RM2,900 for teaching Islam without having proper credentials.

Khalid, who was found guilty of the offence last month and sentenced this morning, faces three months' jail if he fails to settle the fine.

Article 48(1)(e) of the Federal Constitution states that a Member of Parliament will be disqualified should he or she be imprisoned more than a year or fined more than RM2,000.
