KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The opposition independent bloc led by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as well as Pakatan Harapan on Tuesday (July 14) claimed that not enough time was given for the debate on Monday's (July 13) motion in the Dewan Rakyat calling for Tan Sri Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof to vacate the seat of Speaker.
Dr Mahathir, who is the MP for Langkawi, and the other five MPs in his bloc claimed in a statement that the opposition was also denied the right to nominate a candidate for Speaker when the 14-day notice was not given to fill the post that became vacant.
