A motion for a vote of no confidence on Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as Prime Minister has been accepted by the Dewan Rakyat for debate.

It was after the private motion from MP for Langkawi Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was listed as no. 27th in the order of Meeting Rules and Motions (AUM DR 13/7/2020).

Citing the AUM, Dr Mahathir would table the proposal through the Rules of Meeting 26 (1) read together with the House Rules 27 (3) of the Dewan Rakyat Meeting Rules.
