PETALING JAYA: A constitutional law expert has warned that the country will see extreme politicking should Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim lose the vote of confidence when Parliament convenes on Dec 19.

Speaking at a forum organised by Taylors University, Shad Saleem Faruqi said the Federal Constitution states that Anwar has the option to resign if he loses the vote of confidence.

In this scenario, Shad said the King has the discretion to decide if another MP can command majority support in Parliament.

“In the meantime, the resigned prime minister may be asked to continue as a caretaker prime minister.
