The palace says the editorial presented a distorted account of the process by which the Yang di-Pertuan Agong appoints a new PM.
entitled “The Guardian view on a royal coup: a king overturns a historic election” published on March 3 by British dailyComptroller of the Royal Household of Istana Negara Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin in a statement today said Istana Negara first and foremost thanked Malaysians both in Malaysia and abroad for the quick response to the article.
"The editorial presents a distorted account of the process by which His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia appointed a new prime minister," he said. Hence, when the then prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad informed His Majesty on the afternoon of Feb 24, 2020, that he no longer enjoyed the confidence of a majority of the members of the House of Representatives and tendered his resignation, His Majesty is obligated by Article 40 of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia to exercise his discretion in appointing the prime minister.
"Obviously, His Majesty gave a great deal of his attention towards this grave matter,” Ahmad Fadil said.
