COMMENT | The thorny issue faced by Dewan Rakyat Speaker Johari Abdul of the present government would be to determine the legitimacy of the four Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) MPs who were with Sabah Bersatu before.

As usual, members of the legal fraternity are not sharing a common opinion. Yes, as duly expected, they differ. Diversity, after all, is the hallmark of legal minds.

By virtue of Article 49A (3) of the Federal Constitution, the speaker is given 21 days from the date of the receipt of the notification for the issue to be decided.
