PETALING JAYA: There is no motion of confidence on the agenda for next week’s Dewan Rakyat sitting, says Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil, although the King had previously said the new prime minister must test his majority in Parliament.

In a Twitter post, Fahmi said he had just received the parliamentary order paper for the sitting, which begins on Monday.

Jempol MP Mohd Salim Mohd Sharif will be asking the first question during the ministers’ question time, followed by opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.

Among the motions on the agenda are appointing a new deputy speaker and the debate on the King’s speech after the Yang di-Pertuan Agong has opened the sitting.

“No motion of confidence in the ninth prime minister, Ismail Sabri Yaakob,” the PKR communications director pointed out.
