KOTA KINABALU: Parti Warisan Sabah has demanded for Parliament to reconvene immediately, instead of waiting until September.
Party president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said the proceedings would show whether Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has the support in the House.
"That will clear the air, and there is no need to wait until September.
"This motion of confidence should be the sole issue debated in this immediate session.
"It should not be mixed up with other issues concerning the 12th Malaysia Plan and the Budget, which will be discussed in the parliamentary session scheduled in September," he said in a statement.
In a special address to the nation this afternoon, Muhyiddin said he will put the legitimacy of his position to the test when the Dewan Rakyat sits in September where a motion of confidence in him will be tabled.
That, Muhyiddin said, was because he was aware that many were still questioning his position as prime minister.
Shafie, who is Semporna member of parliament, said Warisan stood firm with the party's decision not to support the current Perikatan Nasional (PN) government.
He added all its members of parliament (MPs) are intact and strongly call for the Prime Minister and his cabinet to resign.
"Warisan's stand is shared by Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, Sri Aman MP Datuk Masir Anak Kujat, Selangau MP Baru Bian and Tuaran MP Datuk Seri Wilfred Madius Tangau.
"Any news or reports being spread claiming that Warisan supports the PN is false and malicious."
