Kit Siang: Will Muhyiddin follow in Hussein Onn’s footsteps?
BY AZRIL ANNUAR
KUALA LUMPUR, March 4 — Gelang Patah MP Lim Kit Siang has asked if Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin will follow the example set by Malaysia’s third prime minister Tun Hussein Onn and convene an emergency Parliament meeting to secure a vote of confidence. “Is Muhyiddin prepared to emulate the example of the third prime minister, Tun Hussein Onn, who had convened an emergency meeting of Parliament on January 26, 1976 — 11 days after his appointment as the third prime minister of Malaysia on the death of Tun Razak — to demonstrate that he had the confidence of the majority of the members of Parliament?
Lim also pointed out that this would be the first time in six decades that Parliament is meeting during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
