Abstract

WITH great respect, Dewan Rakyat Speaker Azhar Azizan Harun does not need to look far to “research the conventions practised in other Westminster systems such as the United Kingdom” with regard to a motion of confidence. The first and only motion of confidence in a sitting prime minister in parliament took place more than 40 years ago on January 27, 1976. So yes a motion of confidence had been brought forward before in the Dewan Rakyat. The speaker is not powerless to fast track such a motion.
