PETALING JAYA: The public can see through the government’s manoeuvring with the Dewan Rakyat being postponed and MPs being barred from Parliament, an MP has told Putrajaya.
Klang MP Charles Santiago said that with the pressure mounting against the government from all sides, there is little choice left but for Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, his Cabinet, Dewan Rakyat speaker Azhar Azizan Harun and his deputies to step down.
“That is, if they have an ounce of shame.”
In a statement, Santiago called using the “ruse of Covid-19 infections” as a reason to defer today’s sitting “childish,” and said the police blocking the road to Parliament was an affront to justice.
He said Muhyiddin was “buying time” because he lacked answers to explain the revocation of the emergency ordinances which the Palace has said was done without the consent of the Yang-di-Pertuan Agong.”
