GPS SIGNALS TO AGONG IT WILL ACCEPT ANWAR AS PM: ‘WE WILL ABIDE BY ANY DECISION TAKEN BY THE KING’ – ABANG JO

Sarawak Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg (photo) says his party will abide by any decision taken by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in line with Articles 40(2)(a) and (b), Article 43(2)(a), and Article 55(2) of the Federal Constitution.

These provisions pertain to the King’s power to appoint a prime minister at his own judgement on who is likely to command the confidence of the majority of the Dewan Rakyat, to dissolve the Parliament, and to withhold consent on a request to dissolve Parliament.

He adds that the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS)-led state government will act in the interest of the nation, but without sacrificing the rights and interests of Sarawakians.

“The most important concern is that Malaysia must have political stability in order for the nation to move forward.

“The country is faced with mounting economic problems arising from uncertainties including the Covid-19 outbreak that must be address in earnest and expeditiously,” he said in a statement through the chief minister’s office.
