ON Friday, I obsessively clicked on the official portal of the Parliament of Malaysia online to check the MPs’ seating at tomorrow’s five-day special sitting.

On July 8, the Umno Supreme Council officially withdrew its support for Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin with immediate effect. So I wanted to find out where the 38 Umno MPs would be seated – at the Perikatan Nasional government bench or the Opposition’s bloc? But the page showing seating arrangements was under maintenance.
