Umno sec-gen: Fair for new govt to delay parliament sitting and prioritise administrative issues
Tuesday, 03 Mar 2020 05:16 PM MYTUmno secretary-general Tan Sri Annuar Musa today said that it is reasonable for the Perikatan Nasional administration to delay the upcoming parliament sitting as it needs to iron our administrative issues first. — Picture by Yusof Mat Isa
In a series of tweets today, the Ketereh MP pointed out that the new administration needed time to sort out numerous outstanding issues such as looking into the appointment of Cabinet of ministers and the new speaker of the Dewan Rakyat among other things. “It is reasonable for the delay but not because of Covid 19. When PH formed the government, Parliament only convened more than two months after. A lot of matters need to be resolved by the [new] government before Parliament can convene.
“I see it is impossible for the dates that have been set by the previous government to continue. Whatever it is, the PM needs to give a new notice to the speaker. The new government needs at least two months before it can convene. It is not impossible for us to convene during puasa or after Hari Raya,” said Annuar, referring to parliament convening after Hari Raya Aidilfitri that falls on May 23.
