Warisan's plan to reinstate clause on CM appointment will trigger instability, says lawyer


KOTA KINABALU: An opposition party’s proposal to reinstate a clause for the Head of State to appoint the leader of the party that wins the largest number of seats as Chief Minister is flawed, says government lawyer Tengku Datuk Fuad Ahmad.

He said Parti Warisan president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal’s pledge to reinstate Article 6(7) that provides for the TYT to appoint as Chief Minister the leader of the political party with a majority of elected seats would tie the hands of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri.
