The new date for the Johor legislative assembly sitting, which was postponed on March 5, will be decided by the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Almarhum Sultan Iskandar (above), said the assembly's speaker Suhaizan Kaiat.
Suhaizan said His Majesty would make the decision in accordance with Clause 23, Second Part of the Johor Constitution 1895.
“The developments and issues on the special sitting of the state assembly have been presented to the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar.
"His Majesty has advised that the state assembly sitting should take place within the period of six months from the previous sitting which was from Nov 21 to Dec 1," he said in a statement in Johor Bahru today.
Earlier this morning, Suhaizan had an audience with Sultan Ibrahim, believed on the request by Johor Pakatan Harapan to hold the special sitting.
Johor Harapan handed over a letter to Suhaizan on Sunday calling for a special sitting of the state assembly to determine if newly-appointed Menteri Besar Hasni Mohammad commanded the confidence of the majority of the assemblymen in the 56-seat assembly. - Bernama
