PETALING JAYA: MIC president Tan Sri S. A. Vigneswaran has suggested the prorogation or suspension of Parliament in order to solve the political impasse that is plaguing the country amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
He said that the prorogation of Parliament appeared to be the country’s safest bet towards maintaining public order, the life of the economy and political stability.
“This will ensure a smooth flow of operations within the country as there would be no rise in the pandemic nor would any political upheaval be manifested, ” he said in a statement on Wednesday . He said even though this would be the first time that the prorogation would be implemented in the country, it was common in the United Kingdom, Canada, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka when faced with an uphill task that required the safety and well-being of the nation.
He said that the prorogation of Parliament would come under the implementation of Article 55 of the Federal Constitution which states that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong may prorogue or dissolve Parliament.
