PETALING JAYA: Pengerang MP Azalina Othman Said has suggested that an alternative voting process be made available for a motion of confidence in the prime minister.
In a statement, the Dewan Rakyat deputy speaker pointed out that there was no written rule on the process of a vote of confidence under the Standing Orders.
She then posed two questions:
“Firstly, must the vote of confidence be conducted within Parliament premises to legalise the process?
“Secondly, if an open voting or a secret ballot is required, then such can be done before the Speaker, as the adjudicator, and votes counted by the Dewan Rakyat secretary.
