PETALING JAYA: Bringing down the government via a vote in Parliament in the May-June Dewan Rakyat meeting has just become much harder after a crucial deadline passed yesterday.
The lower house’s Speaker Datuk Johari Abdul confirmed to The Star that no MP has submitted an application to table a motion of confidence in the May meeting by 5pm yesterday.
Analysts have said that the most effective way to prove a prime minister had lost the mandate to govern was via a vote of confidence to show that he had lost support from at least 112 MPs in the 222-seat House. Political scientist Dr Tunku Mohar Tunku Mokhtar said that Anwar made this call to Perikatan in order to effectively test whether it truly had the support it claims because MPs must vote along their party lines.
