Coalition of NGOs wants Parliament to sit on Friday, PM to prove majority

PETALING JAYA: A coalition of nearly 40 NGOs has called on the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to use his power and discretion to instruct Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to reconvene Parliament immediately.

In a memorandum submitted to Istana Negara this morning, Gabungan Bertindak Rakyat Malaysia urged Muhyiddin to reconvene Parliament on Friday instead of September.

“The decision to postpone the sitting has also sparked controversial political polemic, more so since there is no rational and significant basis to justify the move.

“We take it that the prime minister is buying time to enable him to garner as much support from MPs as possible,” the coalition’s coordinator, Mustafa Mansor, told reporters after handing over the memorandum to a palace official.
