Police investigate activist over protest at Dataran Merdeka
8.15am - Berita Harian reports that police are investigating activist Fadiah Nadwa Fikri over last night’s peaceful protest at Dataran Merdeka.
This after the human rights lawyer is alleged to have uploaded a post online calling for people to attend the protest to object to the “betrayal” over the current political crises and collapse of the government.
In the report uploaded last night, Federal Criminal Investigation Department chief Huzir Mohamed says an investigation paper is opened on Fadiah.
She is being probed under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948 and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act (CMA) 1998, relating to alleged seditious actions and words, as well as improper use of network facilities or service.
PSM calls for transparency, wants Muhyiddin's 'numbers' revealed
8am: Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) expresses hope that the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah will reveal the number of MPs supporting Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin.
The Agong announced yesterday that he has selected Muhyiddin as the next prime minister following a week of political crisis.
According to the palace, it is believed the former deputy prime minister would likely enjoy majority support of MPs in the Dewan Rakyat.
“With this announcement, we (PSM) are of the stand that the duties of the interim prime minister has ended as the replacement PM candidate has been named.
“However, in the nature of open and transparent democracy, PSM hopes the Yang-Dipertuan Agong will announce the number of support obtained by Muhyiddin, seeing as there are many version of the numbers obtained by him as well as that by other candidates such as Anwar Ibrahim and (Dr) Mahathir (Mohamad),” party deputy chairperson S Arutchelvan says in a statement this morning.
Muhyiddin to be sworn in as PM
It's Day 8 of the Sheraton Move, which has finally become a success.
Muhyiddin Yassin will be sworn in today as the prime minister of a new coalition dubbed Perikatan Nasional.
He will be taking his oath of office at Istana Negara at 10.30am.
However, Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Pakatan Harapan claim they have the backing of 115 MPs and is hoping for a last-minute reversal from the king.
Two of these MPs, however, have denied supporting Mahathir, leaving the possibility open that more denials may ensue today. - Mkini
