Shafie’s motion on Dr M rejected

PETALING JAYA: Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof has rejected Semporna MP Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal’s (pic) proposed motion of confidence on Langkawi MP Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to be tabled in Parliament on May 18.

Mohamad Ariff said the proposal was not in line with Article 43 of the Federal Constitution as it questioned the power of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on the appointment of a prime minister.
