Motion of confidence in a newly sworn-in prime minister following a change of leadership is legit

[Image: FW1177803_KL25_26072021_SIDANG_KHAS-lpr.jpg]

SEPT 5 — Before the current parliamentary term which has seen two changes of leadership, there were two other changes of leadership during a parliamentary term.

Both changes were followed by a motion of confidence in the newly sworn-in prime minister in the Dewan Rakyat.

The first was a motion of confidence in Prime Minister Datuk Hussein bin Onn who was sworn in as prime minister on January 15, 1976 following the death of Tun Abdul Razak in London on January 14, 1976.

On January 27, 1976 a motion of confidence in Hussien Onn was moved by Kuala Kedah MP Datuk Senu bin Abdul Rahman as follows:

“Bahawa Dewan dengan ini mengucapkan setinggi-tinggi tahniah atas perlantikan Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Hussein Onn sebagai Perdana Menteri dan menyatakan kepercayaan penuh terhadap pimpinan beliau dan berikrar memberikan kerjasama dan sokongan sepenuhnya kepada beliau bagi melaksanakan tugas dan tanggungjawabnya.”

After a two-hour debate, the motion was agreed and passed by the Dewan Rakyat.

The second motion of confidence was in Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Abdullah Bin Haji Ahmad Badawi who was sworn in as prime minister on October 31, 2003 after Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad stepped down as the fourth prime minister.

Pakatan: AG should resign over ‘wrong’ advice that new PM need not prove majority in Parliament

[Image: parliament_dewan_rakyat2_26072021.JPG]

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 5 — Attorney General Tan Sri Idrus Harun should resign after having given alleged “wrong” advice that newly-appointed Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob does not need to validate that he has majority support in the Dewan Rakyat, federal Opposition Pakatan Harapan (PH) said today.


PH’s presidential council today said it was shocked over the attorney general’s statement yesterday that a vote of confidence is not needed in the Dewan Rakyat, as it is contrary to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s wishes for the new prime minister to present a motion for a vote of confidence in the Dewan Rakyat as soon as possible.

“Pakatan Harapan urges the attorney general to resign as he has not only been traitorous towards the Seri Paduka Baginda, but he has also betrayed the Federal Constitution and the parliamentary democracy system,” the PH presidential council said in a statement, referring to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong as Seri Paduka Baginda.

  S’gor prince denies links to development project in Kuala Langat forest reserve
Posted by: superadmin - 09-05-2021, 10:03 AM - Forum: Environment Protection News - No Replies

[Image: Tengku_Amir_Shah_Sultan_Sharafuddin_Idri...am_pic.png]

SHAH ALAM – Raja Muda of Selangor Tengku Amir Shah Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has denied any links to a developer or any development project in the Kuala Langat North Forest Reserve (KLNFR).

“Some groups believe I am benefiting from such a decision. I would like to make my position clear: I have no link to Gabungan Indah Sdn Bhd or any development project in KLNFR,” he said in an Instagram post today.

This is in reference to a decision to degazette KLNFR, with the state Forestry Department in a statement on Wednesday saying it is in line with Selangor’s development goals towards socioeconomic stability and sustainability.

It stressed that the state government is maintaining about 46% of the forest in Tg Dua Belas, Kuala Langat, as a permanent reserve.

The proposal to degazette the forest reserve had undergone a thorough public investigation since the decision on the matter was received in November 2019, it said.

“The state government has also imposed several conditions on the developer Gabungan Indah, including retaining 20% of the development area as a green area, as well as the need for the translocation of flora and fauna species of interest.”

  Philippine Airlines files for bankruptcy
Posted by: superadmin - 09-05-2021, 10:00 AM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies

[Image: 20210904_philippine_airlines_afp.jpg]

MANILA – Philippine Airlines said today it was filing for bankruptcy in the United States to slash US$2 billion (RM8.3 billion) in debt as it tries to survive an industry gutted by the coronavirus pandemic.

The national carrier of the Philippines said the filing will allow it to restructure contracts and cut debt by at least US$2 billion while getting US$655 million in fresh capital when it emerges from the Chapter 11 process.

PAL will also downsize its fleet by 25% and renegotiate contracts to reduce lease payments.

“Philippine Airlines will continue business-as-usual operations while finalising the restructuring of our network, fleet, and organisation,” senior vice-president and chief financial officer Nilo Thaddeus Rodriguez said in a video message.

As part of agreements reached with suppliers, lenders, and lessors, Rodriguez said PAL will secure US$505 million to execute the recovery plan. The money will later convert into airline equity and long-term debt.

It will also obtain another US$150 million in debt funding after it emerges from the restructuring process “in a few months”, Rodriguez said.

  Will he, won’t he: confidence vote for Ismail Sabri will quell arguments, say analyst
Posted by: superadmin - 09-05-2021, 09:47 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: 21082021_-_ISMAIL_SABRI_PM-9_-_SADIQ_ASYRAF_-12.jpg]

KUALA LUMPUR – As the country waits for the Dewan Rakyat to convene again on September 13, all eyes will be set on whether Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob tables a vote of confidence on his leadership.

Expectations have intensified after opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim claimed Ismail Sabri had apparently hinted at not wanting the vote to be held.

On Saturday night, Anwar, who is PKR president and Port Dickson MP, had claimed that after their meeting on August 25, Ismail Sabri had whispered “maybe there is no need for a vote of confidence” to him.

Analysts have maintained that tabling the vote of confidence is imperative to quell arguments pertaining to the matter.

  Confidence motion on PM will not erode King’s authority
Posted by: superadmin - 09-05-2021, 09:37 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: ismail-sabri-YDPA-virual-meeting.jpg]

From Philip Koh

The honorable attorney-general (AG) of Malaysia holds a constitutional office pursuant to Article 145 of the Federal Constitution. His views on the law ought to be given respect and due attention. The AG is the first legal officer of the nation as he takes precedence over any other persons appearing before any court or tribunal in the federation.

In the press release issued by the AG dated Sept 4, he gave his learned opinion on the powers and authority of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to appoint the person to be PM who in his judgment is likely to command the confidence of the majority, “in accordance with Article 43 of the Constitution”.


This aspect of his opinion is flawless and clearly apt and as provided for under Article 42 (2)(a). The King “may act in his discretion in the performance of the following functions, that is to say: (a) the appointment of a prime minister.”

  YOURSAY | What does the future hold for Anwar?
Posted by: superadmin - 09-05-2021, 09:29 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

Multi Racial: Firstly, Anwar failed was because there was no united opposition front. All should not just join hands to support Anwar, but also help to convince MPs who share the same principles to join Harapan.

Instead, the opposition is split between Anwar and Shafie. I believe Shafie could be a potential PM one day but he needs to be reasonable and patient. How could he expect to be PM when he only has eight MPs in his party? He would be a weak PM.

There is also obviously no intention on his part to support Anwar and that mainly came from Dr Mahathir Mohamad. For whatever reason, Shafie is indebted to Mahathir. If he wants to be our nation’s leader, he has to first learn to be his own man and not someone’s lackey.

No doubt, Anwar is not perfect and he has his fair share of mistakes. Among those were when he was in power in Umno. He, together with Mahathir, were primarily responsible for the Islamisation of our country. But he has since changed. He has done a lot in reforming our nation.

Twenty years ago, we would be laughed at if we said the opposition could win the general election. But in GE14, they did it. Many gave credit to Mahathir, which personally, I think is wrong. The person we have to credit is Anwar.

Don’t forget that Mahathir’s party, Bersatu, lost the most seats they contested, and some of them even lost their deposits. Remember, his party was contesting against Umno and PAS.

Malaysians should not be ungrateful. Anwar never gave up on us and we should not either.

In my opinion, Anwar is still capable and should continue to lead us to GE15. I hope many good leaders from all races would join the fight. This includes Shafie.

  AG says no need to prove Ismail Sabri’s command of majority in Parliament

Despite Agong’s call, AG says no need to prove Ismail Sabri’s command of majority in Parliament

[Image: sultan_abdullah_idrus_harun_20200312.jpg]

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 — Attorney-General Tan Sri Idrus Harun today said there is no need to validate the appointment of Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob as prime minister, despite a previous call by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for a vote of confidence in Parliament.

Idrus said the appointment of Ismail Sabri on August 21 was valid and in line with Articles 40(2)(a) and 43(2)(a) of the Federal Constitution, as the Agong had already received statutory declarations from the 114 MPs backing the prime minister, and later held an audience with them.

“If the appointment of a new prime minister is still needed to be validated by any party other than His Majesty, this means that His Majesty’s absolute power can be overcome by other parties.
