Agreement between unity govt illegal and motion of confidence for PM a mere gimmick, says Hamzah

KUALA LUMPUR: Branding the agreement established between members of the unity administration as illegal, Opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin (PN-Larut) has called the motion of confidence for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as a mere gimmick.

Hamzah said the agreement restricts, spoils and deteriorates parliamentary democracy as enshrined in the Federal Constitution, as MPs were required to support the Prime Minister for several measures which was seen as legitimising the government of the day including the motion of confidence and supply bills.
