Nomination of non-elected representatives not possible - Wan Junaidi

Dewan Parliament Deputy Speaker Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said the nomination of non-elected representatives into the State Legislative Assembly is not possible as it will set a precedent to change the Constitution as a result of failure.
He said the decision made by the electorate must be respected because “if we keep amending the Constitution just because some people demand it, we will end up not needing elections.”
Wan Junaidi, who is Santubong MP, believed that tweaking the constitution to accommodate those who had lost in the election could backfire on the Barisan.
“All this leads to a two-edged sword. If ever the Opposition forms the government, then it too can do the same. No, don’t mess with the constitution,” he said.
On SUPP, Junaidi said he believed the Chinese community should have a representative in the government despite SUPP’s big defeat in the just concluded state election.
He however stressed that the party should also appreciate those who had done well in the election, indicating the four SUPP Bumiputra assemblymen who won. The four were Ranum Mina (Opar), Dr Jerip Susil (Bengoh), Jonical Rayong and Francis Hardin.
He said this should be the same for PBB too.
