SC stops short of fixing time limit for Speaker Birla in disqualification proceedings against TMC rebel MPs
Rebel MPs have sought four weeks to file replies; SC records the fact
Bangi, September 23 — Despite UMNO president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's challenge, Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul has not received any motion of no confidence for the upcoming parliamentary sitting. Johari stated he has not heard anything about such a motion, after officiating a dialogue on 'Negara Bangsa: Membina Jati Diri dan Identiti Nasional'.
Similarly, Johari revealed he has not yet received the proposed Bills on the separation of the Attorney General and Public Prosecutor's roles, nor the Bill to limit the Prime Minister's term. These papers were reportedly planned, but Johari was only informed they were to be submitted two weeks prior to tabling. The Dewan Rakyat calendar indicates the Third Meeting of the Fifth Session of the 15th Parliament will last 37 days from October 5 to December 8, with the 2027 Budget to be tabled on October 9.
