PETALING JAYA: A lawyer has echoed calls for Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to reconvene a Parliament sitting sooner than later now that Umno has disclosed two letters by party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Abdul Shukor Ahmad said democracy demands that Muhyiddin prove his majority support either to the King or in the Dewan Rakyat.

“Last week, Muhyiddin announced that he still enjoys support and will convene a Dewan Rakyat sitting in September.

“However, that sitting must be held sooner than later due to prevailing circumstances,” he told FMT.

Shukor said this in response to the documents dated July 30 and Aug 4 published on Umno’s website yesterday.
