PAS risks loss of support over hunger for power Posted by: superadmin - 07-31-2021, 09:31 AM - Forum: Politics - Replies (1) PETALING JAYA: An academic has alleged that PAS has changed from being an idealist party to an opportunist one since coming to power and is thereby risking a loss of support. Speaking to FMT, Mohd Azizuddin Sani of Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) said he believed PAS leaders would support whomever they felt would remain in power and would now continue supporting Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin even if the fiasco over the repeal of emergency ordinances was causing restiveness in the party’s grassroots. “PAS is also likely to support Bersatu until the party can no longer serve its purpose of allowing it to be in power,” he said. “If Umno becomes stronger, PAS is likely to switch support to it instead.” He also said MPs from PAS could lose voter support because it was likely that many grassroots members were appalled that their leaders had gone against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. - More -   Major row over Muhyiddin’s majority Posted by: superadmin - 07-30-2021, 09:01 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The Dewan Rakyat descended into chaos today after a PAS MP claimed Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin had the majority to lead the government. Ahmad Tarmizi Sulaiman (PAS-Sik) made the claim while debating the national vaccination programme. “I want to correct (everyone and say) that YB Pagoh has the majority to lead the country,” he said referring to a statement made by Ong Kian Ming (PH-Bangi) that no one has the majority at the moment. However, this caused a stir among the opposition MPs who asked for proof. RSN Rayer (PH-Jelutong) immediately stood up asking for a vote to be held. - More -   COMMENT | PM statement a futile exercise to defend PN govt Posted by: superadmin - 07-30-2021, 08:10 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies COMMENT | The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) in issuing the statement dated July 29 to rebut the palace’s statement issued earlier in the day, was a futile exercise to defend the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government and was gross misconduct in a most appalling and contemptuous manner. First, the PMO’s statement in seeking to justify the wrongful actions by providing a purported chronology, suggests that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong misrepresented the facts in the palace statement. This is an affront to the royal institution and to the Agong himself. Second, the PMO’s statement itself was misleading because it failed to admit that Takiyuddin Hassan as a minister in the Prime Minister’s Department representing the cabinet and Idrus Harun as attorney-general were instructed by the Agong to table the proclamation of emergency and the ordinances for debate and voting in Parliament. The truth is that the cabinet has willfully and deliberately treated the Agong's instructions with total disdain by failing to act as instructed. This is disobedience at the most serious level. - More -   Here’s what the PMO got wrong, explains PH Posted by: superadmin - 07-30-2021, 08:06 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The Prime Minister’s Office has wrongfully treated the King as a “mere rubber stamp” in its response to the royal rebuke it received over the revocation of the emergency ordinances, Pakatan Harapan said. The opposition coalition’s legal committee said the PMO’s decision to cite Article 40(1) of the Federal Constitution which stipulates that the King is required to act in accordance with the advice of the Cabinet, showed that it treated the King as the latter’s mouthpiece. This was done with scant respect for the King’s position as “moral and legal compass of the nation”, the committee said. PH also labelled Putrajaya’s interpretation that it satisfied Article 150(3) by having the emergency proclamation and related ordinances being “laid” on the MPs’ tables as the “most dishonest argument”. Instead, it argued that the emergency ordinances would only cease to have effect if resolutions are passed by both Houses revoking such a proclamation or ordinance. - More -   Pakatan criticises PMO’s statement defending revocation of Emergency Ordinances Posted by: superadmin - 07-30-2021, 04:42 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Pakatan criticises PMO’s statement defending revocation of Emergency Ordinances, says Federal Constitution, parliamentary democracy betrayed KUALA LUMPUR, July 30 — The Pakatan Harapan (PH) presidential council today chastised the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) for defending its move to announce the revocation of the Emergency Ordinances (EOs) in Parliament, accusing the government of betraying the Federal Constitution and the parliamentary democracy. In a statement today, PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) president Mohamad Sabu criticised the PMO, saying the root problem lies in the statement made by the de facto law minister, Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, who had on July 26, announced that the government has revoked the EOs effective July 21. “However, Istana Negara’s statement yesterday clearly stated that His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong had not consented to the cancellation, and Takiyuddin had misled the members of the House of Representatives. Therefore, the counter statement of the Prime Minister’s Office yesterday was arrogant and rude towards the Head of State, in violation of the Federal Constitution and the system of parliamentary democracy. “It is important to note that a government that has lost good relations and is no longer loyal to His Majesty is unlikely to survive,” the trio said. - More -   Malaysia’s daily new Covid cases per million people is one of the highest globally Posted by: superadmin - 07-30-2021, 12:30 PM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies Malaysia’s daily new Covid cases per million people is now one of the highest globally On a seven-day moving average basis, Malaysia recorded 483.72 new confirmed Covid infections per million people on Wednesday, according to the latest data compiled by Our World in Data.

In a statement, he also called on Muhyiddin and law minister Takiyuddin Hassan to resign honourably after failing to get the King’s consent to revoke the emergency ordinances, despite announcing the revocation on Monday. “This is clearly a form of treachery against the King while going against the Federal Constitution. “Umno MPs must comply with the Umno supreme council’s decision on July 7 to withdraw support from Muhyiddin as prime minister. “This is in line with the foundation and goal of Umno’s establishment, which is to always preserve and uphold the institution of Malay Rulers, as enshrined under Article 3 of the Umno constitution,” he said. - More -   ‘Heads must roll’, Rafidah says of EO fiasco Posted by: superadmin - 07-29-2021, 03:04 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: “Heads must roll” – this was what former international trade and industry minister Rafidah Aziz said, after the disclosure by the Palace that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong had not consented to the revocation of the emergency ordinances (EOs). “This is blatant marginalisation of the King, and certainly cannot be condoned,” said Rafidah, who just days ago called the government’s revelation of the revocation of the EOs “one of the lowest points in Malaysia’s parliamentary democracy”. “This government has clearly ignored democratic processes as enshrined in the Federal Constitution,” she told FMT, adding that this was “yet another fiasco engulfing this backdoor government”. Earlier, Istana Negara said Putrajaya did not obtain the King’s consent to revoke the EOs when law minister Takiyuddin Hassan announced the annulment, effective July 21, in the House on Monday. In a Twitter post, former law minister Zaid Ibrahim called on Muhyiddin Yassin to step down. “If the prime minister and his Cabinet do not resign today, where do we Malaysians put our faces?” he asked. “Expect a new government next week.” Zaid said it was time for Umno to take a stand and be true to its promises to defend the honour and integrity of the Malay Rulers. Source: FMT   Taki must go and if he has dignity, PM should too, says analyst Posted by: superadmin - 07-29-2021, 02:53 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Law minister Takiyuddin Hassan must resign after the revelation that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong had not consented to the revocation of the emergency ordinances, says an analyst. “Heads have to roll,” said Oh Ei Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs. “Misleading the house is very serious. Takiyuddin must go.” “If Muhyiddin Yassin has any sense of dignity in him, he should also resign because Takiyuddin’s statement was made on behalf of the government.” Oh said Takiyuddin may have just been following orders, but the fact that the words came from the minister’s mouth meant that he had to take political responsibility. He added that the prime minister would likely attempt to hold onto power for as long as possible, but he would have to “sacrifice” either Takiyuddin or Attorney-General Idrus Harun. - More -   PM, Cabinet have no choice but to step down, say lawyers Posted by: superadmin - 07-29-2021, 01:50 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Two lawyers say Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and the Cabinet must resign for misleading Parliament and acting unilaterally in revoking the emergency ordinances without the King’s consent. Constitutional lawyer Dominic Puthucheary said it was a serious matter to mislead Parliament, adding that the government had also misled the King. He also said this fault could not be attributed to law minister Takiyuddin Hassan alone, as the supposed revocation was done in the name of the government. “Therefore, there’s collective responsibility. This means that the prime minister and the whole Cabinet was involved. “The issue of the Emergency is very important. It’s one of the most unusual provisions in the constitution and has to be responsibly executed. If the government fails to do so, then they are acting in bad faith and, therefore, must resign,” he told FMT. - More - Pages (1123): « Previous 1 … 900 901 902 903 904 … 1123 Next » Jump to page:
