Dewan Rakyat Deputy Speaker Rashid Hasnon says they are still waiting for a notice from the Cabinet on the five-day Parliament sitting.

Hassan Abdul Karim has questioned whether there will be a vote of confidence in Parliament to determine whether Muhyiddin has a majority.

Umno MPs have been given the freedom to vote as they wish when Parliament reconvenes.

An aide of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has said that MPs will be able to debate and vote during the upcoming five-day special Parliament sitting.

Convening the Parliament for only five days is a form of fraud if the sitting is to expedite the approval of ordinances passed during the Emergency.

Five-day Parliament sitting makes no sense.

Parliament will sit for five days starting July 26, the Prime Minister’s Office announced in a statement issued this evening, after months of public and Palace pressure.

Parliament will convene before the Emergency proclamation ends on Aug 1.

The Agong wants Parliament to convene before August 1 so that MPs can debate the proclamation of emergency and the ordinances passed under it.

Muhyiddin Yassin should act now and enable Parliament to sit as early as next week.

Agong has made another call for Parliament to meet as soon as possible.

Civil society organisations have called on A-G Idrus to give his view on the Federal Constitution requiring Parliament to convene six months from the previous sitting.

Takiyuddin Hassan said the government has yet to decide whether Parliament will reconvene physically or under a hybrid model where some MPs will attend virtually.

The attorney-general’s office and the office of the Dewan Rakyat speaker are being used to delay the reconvening of Parliament.

The Agong has reportedly summoned both the Dewan Rakyat and Dewan Negara Speakers to discuss matters pertaining to the reopening of the Parliament.
