‘PM should act in accordance with Constitution’


PETALING JAYA: After admitting he has lost majority support, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin must take the honourable route by acting in accordance with the Federal Constitution and resign unless – at his request – the King dissolves Parliament, says the Malaysian Bar.

Its president AG Kalidas said the Federal Constitution also did not state that the Prime Minister should first wait for another MP to demonstrate that he or she commands the majority support before tendering his or her resignation.
