‘Withdrawal of support must be backed by SDs’

PETALING JAYA: The withdrawal of support by Umno MPs for the Perikatan Nasional Federal Government must be backed by statutory declarations (SDs) to the King, say constitutional experts.

Constitutional expert Assoc Prof Datuk Dr Shamrahayu Abdul Aziz said that in normal times, an MP will be qualified to become the prime minister when he has the majority support of the MPs in the Dewan Rakyat.
