PETALING JAYA: The Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah will meet all political party leaders today at Istana Negara for them to present their choice of the next prime minister.
Istana Negara had issued a statement earlier yesterday the King would continue to be in touch with political party leaders with representation in Parliament to determine who will be the next prime minister.
“He has also consented to Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Mohd Ariff Md Yusof’s decision to not hold the special parliamentary meeting planned for March 2, ” he said. Standing Order 11 allows for a sitting to be held earlier than the scheduled Dewan Rakyat meeting, adding that a one-day notice to the Dewan Rakyat is also sufficient.
Ahmad Fadil said the King also expressed his thanks to everyone involved in the process of interviewing MPs to get their views on who should be the prime minister.
