Johor Pakatan Harapan (PH) yesterday handed over a letter to the state assembly speaker’s office calling for a special state assembly sitting.

Its coordinator Aminolhuda Hassan said the special sitting is needed to determine if newly appointed Menteri Besar Hasni Mohammad commanded the confidence of the majority of the assemblymen in the 56-seat assembly.

Among the Johor PH leaders who accompanied the Parit Yaani assemblyman and Johor Amanah chairman were Johor PKR deputy chairman Jimmy Puah Wee Tse (Bukit Batu assemblyman), Johor Amanah deputy chairman Dzulkefly Ahmad (Kota Iskandar assemblyman) and Johor DAP Socialist Youth head Sheikh Umar Bagharib Ali (Paloh assemblyman).
