PAS says it intends to table a motion of confidence in Dr Mahathir Mohamad in the Dewan Rakyat next month.
“It is up to the Dewan Rakyat Speaker whether to allow such a resolution,” he said in response to reports that PAS intends to table the motion next month in support of Mahathir’s leadership. Pakatan Harapan’s agreement for Anwar Ibrahim to succeed Mahathir was a private arrangement and had nothing to do with Parliament.Former law minister Zaid Ibrahim said in a Facebook posting that there was a group that believed an opposition party could move a motion of confidence to ensure Mahathir remained in office.
Zaid said it was up to the parties in government to decide on the issue of who became the prime minister.
