KUALA LUMPUR, Sep 2 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) senators have conceded defeat after failing to get its PKR nominee Mohd Yusmadi Mohd Yusoff appointed the new Dewan Negara Yang di-Pertua.
However, the Opposition senators insisted that the process that eventually led Tan Sri Rais Yatim to be sworn in as senate president earlier today was flawed.
“I want to stress that I have nothing against any of the candidates, but the issue I raised is very important as only a member of the Dewan Negara can nominate another member to become its president,” Senator Nga Hock Cheh from DAP told a press conference in Parliament.
Nga had argued earlier against Rais’ nomination by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, pointing out that the latter is a member of the lower House of Parliament and not its upper House.
