Mana ada mislead Parliament?
These people kuat sangat drama. Yang takde kata ada. Yang ada kata takde. Kalau tak sokong kerajaan umumlah awak dah jadi Ahli Parlimen Bebas. Pergi duduk sebelah Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah di kawasan Ahli Parlimen Bebas. Tak payah cakap banyak.
NO HOLDS BARRED

Earlier today, Umno-owned portal Free Malaysia Today carried the statements of, kononnya, two leading cum constitutional lawyers who said Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and his entire Cabinet must resign for misleading Parliament (READ BELOW).
Lim Kit Siang said the same thing in 1994 when Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim lied to Parliament regarding the RM31.5 billion Bank Negara Forex disaster.
Tapi takde pun Mahathir dan Anwar letak jawatan. Akhirnya, Kit Siang yang macam anjing menyalak bukit.
And after all that huffing and puffing, Kit Siang went and chose Mahathir as DAP’s Prime Minister or PM7 in May 2018, and now he wants Anwar to take over as PM9.
Now they want Muhyiddin and his entire Cabinet to resign pulak for, kononnya, lying to Parliament — in reference to Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s press statement today.
Read properly the Parliament Hansard below. No one lied to Parliament. In fact, the Prime Minister’s statement has explained everything very clearly. It is they who are misleading the rakyat by lying about what transpired.

The problem is no one bothered to read the Parliament Hansard before opening their mouths. Cakap dulu, check kemudian. Always like that. The Parliament Hansard and PM’s statement have already cleared up the issue about what really transpired.

PARLIAMENT HANSARD
*****************************************************************************
PM and Cabinet have no choice but to step down, say lawyers
(FMT) – Two lawyers say Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and the Cabinet must resign for misleading Parliament and acting unilaterally in revoking the emergency ordinances without the King’s consent.
Constitutional lawyer Dominic Puthucheary said it was a serious matter to mislead Parliament, adding that the government had also misled the King.
He also said this fault could not be attributed to law minister Takiyuddin Hassan alone, as the supposed revocation was done in the name of the government.
“Therefore, there’s collective responsibility. This means that the prime minister and the whole Cabinet was involved.
“The issue of the Emergency is very important. It’s one of the most unusual provisions in the constitution and has to be responsibly executed. If the government fails to do so, then they are acting in bad faith and, therefore, must resign,” he told FMT.
Puthucheary, who described Muhyiddin as a mere de facto prime minister, said that if he fails to act honourably and resign, the King could withdraw his appointment.
Meanwhile, lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla said the government’s actions were in “complete disrespect” of the King, the Federal Constitution, Parliament and the people.
He told FMT its actions were tantamount to abuse of power, since it had misled the Dewan Rakyat and the people.
“The question of the government’s majority has become a side issue, now that Parliament has been sitting in complete disregard to the constitution and the King,” he said.
“There is no other option but for the prime minister and the government to step down. This is the only correct decision.”
Earlier, Istana Negara said Putrajaya did not get the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s consent to revoke the emergency ordinances when Takiyuddin announced the revocation on Monday.
The King said the minister’s statement in Parliament on Monday was “inaccurate” and misled the MPs.
