Pakatan: AG should resign over ‘wrong’ advice that new PM need not prove majority in Parliament

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 5 — Attorney General Tan Sri Idrus Harun should resign after having given alleged “wrong” advice that newly-appointed Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob does not need to validate that he has majority support in the Dewan Rakyat, federal Opposition Pakatan Harapan (PH) said today.


PH’s presidential council today said it was shocked over the attorney general’s statement yesterday that a vote of confidence is not needed in the Dewan Rakyat, as it is contrary to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s wishes for the new prime minister to present a motion for a vote of confidence in the Dewan Rakyat as soon as possible.

“Pakatan Harapan urges the attorney general to resign as he has not only been traitorous towards the Seri Paduka Baginda, but he has also betrayed the Federal Constitution and the parliamentary democracy system,” the PH presidential council said in a statement, referring to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong as Seri Paduka Baginda.
