PETALING JAYA: The scheduled March 9 parliamentary meeting must not be postponed, as the Dewan Rakyat should be a test bed for the new Prime Minister's support, says a human rights group.
Aliran said Pakatan Harapan should be allowed to bring up a vote of no-confidence to see if the newly appointed Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has a simple majority in Parliament.
Aliran said that should Muhyiddin be unable to command a majority in Parliament, then the Pakatan leader should be given a chance to show that he has the majority, said Aliran. However, should the situation still be unable to be resolved via this vote of confidence process, then Aliran said it may be necessary to call for a snap general election.
It was understood that Mohamad Ariff had written to Muhyiddin to ask whether the Dewan Rakyat's meeting scheduled on March 9 will proceed or be postponed.
