KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 31 — Though Parliament has to be postponed a week, Opposition lawmaker Lim Guan Eng said today Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob must table a confidence motion as soon as possible once the sitting resumes.
The Bagan MP said failure to do so would be unconstitutional and seen as an act of defiance against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong who had previously issued a decree on it.
“It is clear that Parliament is postponed by one week to accommodate Ismail, who is under home quarantine after being in close contact with a Covid-19 positive patient.
