“The WIP meeting of 3 parties discussed the process that Will it be a motion of the National Assembly in Article 41 or not? stipulates that a dropped motion cannot be re-introduced. within the same session except for changing circumstances The Speaker of the House of Representatives can be reconsidered. But there is another opinion that election of prime minister not a general motion Because the regulations for the election of the Prime Minister are separated in Chapter 9 from Section 136 to Section 139, they are not enforced. Article 272 of the constitution does not clearly state that no nomination is allowed. Therefore, Article 41 should not apply because it is not a general motion. But there is still no clear conclusion on such matters. Must listen to the voices of parliamentarians tomorrow (July 19) first, however, those who attend today’s whip meeting (July 18) will have to understand their own members. to ensure orderliness in the meeting, ”said the Speaker of the National Assembly.

This is because if there is an exception to the regulations, I don’t know where to apply the regulations. because there are only a few issues going forward to choose the prime minister and key points That is, the prime minister must be elected. Therefore, I think that no one would propose an exception to the regulations.
When asked if most members consider it a motion Will be able to nominate another prime ministerial candidate or not? Wan Muhamad Noor said the regulations did not prohibit it.
