Muhyiddin can buy time but he can't run away from Parliament - Loke

The Agong must convene the House not more than six months after the end of the previous sitting, says Anthony Loke.

DAP national organising secretary Anthony Loke believes that even if Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin tries to delay convening the Dewan Rakyat amid uncertainties about his support in the House, it would only buy him a few months.

"They can delay it, yes, but only to a certain time... The new prime minister cannot run away from the fact that he needs the endorsement from Parliament. Loke, who is also Seremban MP, stressed that the Pakatan Harapan coalition, which was ousted from the government by Muhyiddin's new Perikatan Nasional government, will act within the constitution and law to remedy the situation.

The previous Dewan Rakyat sitting concluded on Dec 5, 2019, which means the Agong must reconvene the House by early June.
