Subang MP questions Muhyiddin's need to defer Parliament for so long just to reportedly pick new cabinet.
Moving to postpone the Dewan Rakyat sitting initially scheduled for March 9 is a sign of weakness by Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, a PKR lawmaker claimed today.
"A good and organised prime minister will call Parliament to sit as soon as possible, and no later than end of March, to show that he has consolidated power and thus legitimacy to rule.Wong further claimed Muhyiddin could be facing trouble to set up his new cabinet, alluding to an alleged "horse-trading for ministerial positions" between members of the Perikatan Nasional pact.
"That a cabinet needs to be set up should not be used as an excuse by the prime minister to ignore the pressing question of whether he enjoys the majority in Parliament and a date should be fixed for all MPs to meet in Parliament for the said purpose."Only the prime minister has the power to call for such a meeting pursuant to the rule above and as such, I call upon Muhyiddin to do so immediately," he added.
