[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: A political analyst sees the push for state assemblies to reopen as placing added pressure on the federal government to convene Parliament.

Former academic Azmi Hassan said the government might feel forced to call soon for a Parliament session now that some sultans have given their consent for state assemblies to go ahead.

He pointed out that several states were seeking mainly to discuss Covid-19 matters in their assemblies.

He also noted that MPs from DAP and Barisan Nasional had promised not to table a no-confidence motion.
