Abstract

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s televised special message to the country confirmed the following: 1) Tun had submitted his resignation as the prime minister to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (the King); 2) Tun was subsequently summoned by the King for an audience and after a discussion lasting more than one hour, His Majesty agreed to accept Tun’s resignation letter and then asked Tun to become the interim prime minister. Simply put, Tun had resigned as prime minister and re-appointed as interim prime minister. There are now differing views by legal experts on the appointment of an interim prime minister. This arises because nowhere in the Federal Constitution is the term used. Neither is the term caretaker prime minister.
