Penang PPBM will stick to PH, says Marzuki after two reps defect to PN

GEORGE TOWN: Penang PPBM today said it would continue to support the Pakatan Harapan coalition after two of its assemblymen announced they were now supporting Perikatan Nasional (PN).
State assemblymen Khaliq Mehtab Mohd Ishaq and Zolkifly Md Lazim, who represent Bertam and Telok Bahang respectively, have announced their allegiance to Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
Penang PPBM chief Senator Marzuki Yahya said their decision was made in their individual capacities. He said the state chapter was in “full support” of the PH-led state government.
“These two members appear to have forgotten that it was support from PH that had led to them winning their seats.
“If they want to be part of the state opposition, then that is their personal decision,” the Penang PH vice-chairman told FMT.
State PKR Youth chief Fahmi Zainol said the chief minister should order the two assemblymen to vacate their seats as they had violated the anti-hopping laws under the Penang constitution.

 Yesterday, it was reported that Khaliq had been appointed as the Penang Regional Development Authority chairman and Zolkifly had been inducted into the Mara Advisory Council.
Khaliq, when contacted, said: “I support Muhyiddin as the PM and the party president. I’m just adhering to the party’s decision.” 
Zolkifly did not respond to queries for comment.
On Feb 27, the Penang CM’s political secretary Teh Lai Heng issued a statement saying the two PPBM reps had pledged their support for the state PH government, despite changes at the federal level.
The change of allegiance by the two reps now does not change the super-majority status the PH enjoys in the Penang assembly. The coalition has 34 seats, with DAP holding 19, PKR 13 and Amanah two.
These figures take into account that former PKR member Dr Afif Bahardin has also aligned himself to PN.
Umno and PPBM now each have two seats, with PAS holding one seat. Overall, PN has six seats on the opposition bench.
Marzuki said claims by these two defecting assemblymen that PPBM was “in the opposition” was wrong.
Zolkifly had told a news portal that PPBM in Penang had effectively become an opposition party.
Meanwhile, Penang DAP treasurer and Bukit Bendera MP Wong Hon Wai said the two assemblymen must relinquish all the privileges and other allocations given for their service centres. He said the reps should also quit positions held in state government-linked corporations immediately.
He said the Village Security Development Council (MPKK) members under these two reps’ constituencies will have to be reshuffled as their members are based on political appointments.
He said the same was true for city councillors as well. “They must immediately inform the state assembly speaker of their decision.”

518一日国会只剩开幕


518的信任与不信任

国会只开一天 黄汉伟:显示首相没信心

                       

 
518一天国会只有国家元首发表御词一项议程,黄汉伟批评首相丹斯里慕尤丁此举,是因首相弱势,没信心击退浮罗交怡国会议员敦马哈迪的不信任动议


518一天国会只有国家元首发表御词一项议程,升旗山国会议员黄汉伟批评首相丹斯里慕尤丁此举,是因首相弱势,没信心击退浮罗交怡国会议员敦马哈迪的不信任动议。
“如果慕尤丁强和具备信心,他就应呈信任动议,以信任动议表决来击退敦马的不信任动议。”
他指出,国会秘书礼端周三发函通知所有国会议员,5月18日召开第14届第三季第一次国会确定只有一日。同时,国会开幕当天只有一项议程,就是国家元首发表施政御词,之后便宣布休会,没有其他议程。
据有关信函表明,首相慕尤丁以国内新冠肺炎疫情尚未缓和为由,通知下议院议长阿里夫以修改518国会议程。因此,当天国会将于早上10时开幕,国家元首发表施政御词后休会。
这意味,国会取消了提呈政府法案及动议的议程。
黄汉伟周三发文告强调,首相慕尤丁此举,是为故意避开敦马提呈的不信任动议同时,也避开要辩论延长国会开会天数至8天的动议。
“这造成政府事项也停摆,高达2500亿令吉的关怀人民经济配套法案也无法提呈一读。”
他认为,这也显示慕尤丁无法定夺更换公账委员会主席事项,甚至无法在国民联盟里,找到适合人选以代替10名国会特委会主席,照旧由希望联盟国会议员续任。
敦马早前提呈对慕尤丁的不信任动议获得议长接纳,被列入518议程表。只是,随着首相慕尤丁指示修改国会议程,没有政府法案和动议后,敦马动议不会出现在议程表内了。

国会砍剩一天后再缩水,行动党指慕尤丁“怕了”

malaysiakini 13 May 2020

随着518一日国会再缩水,数名行动党国会议员质疑首相慕尤丁害怕国会,尤其害怕前首相马哈迪所提呈的不信任动议。

士布爹国会议员郭素沁就表示,不仅是慕尤丁,连国盟也害怕国会会议。
“他(慕尤丁)害怕在国会面对希盟,他也害怕马哈迪所提呈的不信任动议。”
郭素沁感叹,新政府投入巨资推动经济振兴配套,但却未曾获得国会通过。

“国盟成了一个害怕召开国会会议的政府。”
慕尤丁害怕踌躇
另外,升旗山国会议员黄汉伟发文告说,如果慕尤丁有实力又有信心的话,不仅无需害怕马哈迪的不信任动议,反而应该自己提呈信任动议,用信任动议来击退马哈迪的不信任动议。
他证实,已经收到国会518一天会议的议程,而上面注明当天只有一个议程,即国家元首发表施政御词。
“首相故意避开不信任动议,也避开要辩论延长国会开会天数至8天的紧急动议。”
此外,黄汉伟认为,慕尤丁也无法定夺对换公账委员会主席一事。
“政府事项也停摆。2500亿令吉经济配套的法案也无法呈一读。首相无法在国盟找到适合人选代替10个国会特委会主席,照由希盟国会议员续任主席。”
疫情理由不成立
另一方面,怡保东区国会议员黄家和也发文告形容,一日国会议程缩水,让人震惊。
“换句话说,首相慕尤丁通过这个方式,直接避开了议长阿里夫之前所接纳的不信任动议。明显的,慕尤丁在议会议程上插手,一并拉下包括2019冠病相关法案一读的议程,就是为了让不信任动议胎死腹中。”
“在政治上,明显这是慕尤丁对本身和国盟政权没有信心的举动。”
“在整个民主制度下,这是当今国盟政府和慕尤丁在通过没有民意基础的手段上台后,对国家民主机制的另外一项重大伤害。”
黄家和说,虽然慕尤丁以疫情为由抽掉国会议事环节,但这是完全站不住脚的说法。
他强调,当下经济领域已经90%开放,国会没有任何理由把议程进一步限制到只有元首开幕的议程。
“当政府领袖都呼吁人民适应新常态的时候,国会更是不可能不能落实新常态的议会进程——无论是通过视频开会,还是更完善的社交距离。”
“再者,如果我们看今天最新MCO6的宪报,当中第16条文明文写到MCO6的条规并不影响国会议员和州议员出席国州议会。”
“显然的,卫生部在落实MCO6的时候,并没有意愿阻碍国州议会的进展。慕尤丁今天的做法,简直就是自打嘴巴。”
“在希盟执政的时代,我们都坚持国会问政改革的重要性,但是可悲的是,在国盟短短两个月的治理下,议员在国会监督的角色却被糟蹋到荡然无存。”
仅元首发表御词
国会下议院议长阿里夫今午发文告披露,在首相慕尤丁的要求下,5月18日的国会抽掉议员议事环节,只剩下国家元首发表施政御词,之后就会休会。
在这种情况下,即使议长接纳民兴党三脚石国会议员刘伟强要求延长会议至8天的紧急动议,议会也没有机会辩论。
这也一举否决马哈迪对慕尤丁提呈的不信任动议突围机会。
