No vote of no confidence this month

It’s the end of the road – for now at least – for Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s hopes of initiating a Parliamentary vote of no confidence against PM Muhyiddin Yassin. This after it was made known that the so-called Parliament session on May 18 will only see the King deliver his opening address and nothing more.

In other news, Muhyiddin is facing criticism for making the decision for Bersatu to leave Pakatan without the consent of the party’s supreme council; Mahathir’s son Mukhriz remains defiant that he is still Kedah MB despite the fact that 23 of his assemblymen have apparently signed SDs stating they aren’t confident in his leadership; Malaysians can only go Raya visiting on the first day of Aidilfitri and another minister is in trouble for allegedly violating the MCO.
