Mohamad Ariff Md Yusoff adds the prorogation of Parliament should not be used to shield the government of the day from scrutiny. FMTNews DewanRakyat
Mohamad Ariff Md Yusoff says such a move should only be undertaken in emergency situations, such as rioting during civil unrest.
Ariff, who was removed from the speaker’s chair on July 13, said even though the country was facing a surge in Covid-19 infections, Parliament could still function perfectly well with proper standard operating procedures in place. MIC president and former Dewan Negara president SA Vigneswaran had suggested yesterday that Parliament be prorogued to enable the government to fight the Covid-19 pandemic.
Vigneswaran had said suspending Parliament would be the best solution as it would enable the authorities to arrest the rise in Covid-19 cases and also ensure there would be no “political upheaval”.On Sept 23, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim had claimed that he had majority support from MPs to form a government.
