Futile for PAS to move vote of confidence in PM, no procedure for such motion, says GPS lawmaker


KUCHING: It would be futile for PAS to move a vote of confidence in the Prime Minister as there is no procedure for such a motion to be successfully tabled in the Dewan Rakyat, says a senior Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) lawmaker.

Santubong MP Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said there was no provision in the Federal Constitution, Houses of Parliament (Powers and Privileges) Act or Parliamentary Standing Orders on tabling a motion of confidence or no confidence against the government or Prime Minister.
