But ages parliament has convened for the 1st time since the resignation of its Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad most were placed by his deputy maki dean yes seeing who was appointed by the king in march that happened at the markets have failed to form a new unity government thats come on this from soreness louie louie who is in the column for funds apart from the kings address in parliament what else is likely to be on the agenda. Well up on the old week ago we were warned that that meeting would have been the best thing right between the government and the. Government and the opposition but now the government has limits at the meeting today to just the kings speech now and so for opposition politicians that will be no chance to debate a motion of no confidence that been put forward by the man the Prime Minister replaced Mahathir Mohamad has put forward a motion of no confidence against the Prime Minister opposition politicians say this is an illegitimate government that doesnt have the peoples mandate and they want to test his support in parliament that is not going to happen on monday that will also be no opportunity to discuss the economic measures that the government has put in place to cushion the economic fallout caused by the coronavirus pandemic now. Opposition politicians have said that they will respect the agenda. Even though analysts have said they could show how unhappy they are that this meeting has been limited by staging a walkout now the king in his address has called for unity in the government but the Political Drama in malaysia is set to continue the opposition politicians issued a statement on sunday to say they will continue opposing this administration and they want to try and we gain power of the government has said its limiting the sitting to just one day because of the coronavirus and because the country is still trying to contain the spread of the virus that malaysia has begun to ease restrictions put in place since 2 weeks ago.

The debate but remember that this Parliament Meeting taking place on monday is one that was already supposed to have taken place in march just a row we copped a Prime Minister we didnt yes in came to power in a political coup and that meeting has been postponed till now so theres no theres no certainty that the meeting in july will go forward as planned or that it wont be postponed because it also depends on how the government is handling the coronavirus pandemic at the moment but opposition politicians and those have also said they are concerned that the Prime Minister is going to use the time between now and then to try and shore up support already several politicians from the coalitions 2 biggest parties have been given appointments at government think companies as well as positions and special envoys and ambassadors presumably to shore up support thats what opposition politicians are concerned about and theyre also concerned that one of the biggest parties in the coalition is. A party known as i know its the United Malays National organization this is a party that ruled malaysia in one form or another until it was defeated in a National Election 2 years ago because of a string of corruption scandals linked to politicians but now that party is back in power florence thank you very much indeed for some of them for.
