VK Liew: Speaker undemocratic in rejecting Shafie's motion of support for Dr M


KOTA KINABALU: The Parliament Speaker is acting undemocratically in rejecting Semporna MP Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal's motion for a vote of confidence in Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as prime minister, former law minister Datuk VK Liew claims.

He said that a confidence vote motion should be decided by the Speaker based on Parliament Standing Orders and not by an assumption that the current government of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has the majority in the 222-member house.
