Kuala Lumpur, 8 July — The Attorney-General’s Chambers today said that Muhyiddin Yassin and his Cabinet will continue to perform their executive function despite Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s announcement late last night that the party had revoked its support for the prime minister.
In a statement, it said there were no clear facts showing that the prime minister no longer commanded the majority support of MPs in the Dewan Rakyat.
“According to Article 43(2)(a) of the Federal Constitution, whether or not an individual possesses the majority support of MPs must be determined by the MPs themselves and not through a statement by a political party or party leader,” it said.
“Therefore, from the legal perspective, the prime minister and his Cabinet members will continue to carry out the executive power at the federal level.”
