KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 — Malaysia is in an unprecedented situation with debate over Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s promise to table a confidence vote in Parliament next month, according to Umno’s Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.
The deputy Dewan Rakyat speaker noted there were many rumours circulating online about the possibilities of either a new unity government being formed or Malaysia being led by a minority government.
Weighing in, the Pengerang MP said there were no such provisions on a minority government by the Federal Constitution.
A trained lawyer, Azalina said Muhyiddin could not even seek out the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s permission to form a minority government before he either resigned or the possibility of another majority block was exhausted.
