Interim PM does not exist in nation’s constitution, says former AG
7.50am: Former attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali questions the legitimacy of interim prime minister.
"The interim prime minister does not exist in the Federal Constitution," he says.
"Under the current situation, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong can exercise his discretion by dissolving the Dewan (Rakyat) if His Majesty opines no parliamentarian commands the majority to be appointed as the prime minister."
On Feb 24, Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah consented to appoint Dr Mahathir Mohamad as interim prime minister after accepting the latter’s resignation earlier in the day. - Mkini
