PARTI Warisan Sabah will not support the current Perikatan Nasional (PN) government, it said in a statement.

It added that any news or reports being spread claiming the contrary are false and malicious.

“Warisan stands firm with the party’s decision not to support the current PN government. 

“All (our) Members of Parliament are intact and strongly call for the Prime Minister and his cabinet to resign,” said the Pakatan Harapan ally which has eight MPs.

Warisan also demanded that Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin convene Parliament immediately, and not in September, to test his majority support in the Dewan Rakyat.

“That will clear the air and there is no need to wait until September. This motion of confidence should be the sole issue debated in this immediate session. 

“It should not be mixed up with other issues concerning the 12th Malaysia Plan and the budget that will be discussed in the parliamentary session scheduled in September,” it said.

Muhyiddin today said he would not resign despite Umno’s claim that he had lost majority support.

The embattled prime minister said he would hold a confidence vote in the Dewan Rakyat when it meets for a new term in September.

Immediate reactions to his announcements have been for him to hold an emergency sitting to test his majority, rather than to wait till next month. – August 4, 2021.
