“Questions for this Parliament sitting were submitted earlier, so time is needed to alter the Order Paper, and also questions will now be answered by new Cabinet ministers,” they added. This will likely put a damper on PH’s plan to call for a no-confidence vote against Muhyiddin, after claiming that the Pagoh MP had misled the Agong over his supposed command of the majority in Dewan Rakyat.
Dr Mahathir also warned that the sitting must be done soon as the new federal government may attempt to postpone it as long as they can, leading to fears that the MPs that supported him may be induced to defect to the other side. It is uncertain if Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof has agreed on the final date for the sitting.has contacted the Speaker for further comments on the matter, but has not received a reply at the time of writing.
