No motion of no confidence submitted yet – Johari

BANGI: Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul has not yet received a motion of no confidence for the upcoming parliamentary session, as of his statement following the Negara Bangsa dialogue. No such motions have been reported to him. Johari made these comments after Umno president Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi called for any party aiming to remove Umno and Barisan Nasional from the Unity Government to formally submit a no-confidence motion in the Dewan Rakyat.

He also mentioned being unaware of the proposed Bills regarding the separation of attorney-general and public prosecutor roles, as well as the Bill limiting the prime minister's tenure, despite rumors of their existence. Johari noted that he would typically be informed of the bills two weeks before tabling, but he has not yet received them.

Earlier, Law and Institutional Reform Minister Azalina Othman Said stated that the Bill limiting the prime minister's tenure was ready for tabling in the next parliamentary session. The Third Meeting of the Fifth Session of the 15th Parliament is scheduled to last for 37 days, from October 5 to December 8, with the Budget 2027 to be presented on October 9, according to the Dewan Rakyat calendar on the Parliament website.
