Malaysian parliament resumes supreme heads of state to calm political disputes

　　Malaysia ’s parliament held its first meeting since the new Prime Minister Muhidin Yassin was sworn in in early March on the 18th, but the agenda was significantly shortened on the grounds of the new crown epidemic, thus avoiding the appearance of opposition parties on the first day of parliamentary resumption Trust motion situation.

　　Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammed announced his resignation in February as Prime Minister and Honorary Chairman of the Indigenous Unity Party. The Indigenous Unity Party withdrew from the ruling Hope Alliance, causing the Hope Alliance to lose its majority advantage in the House of Commons. Muhidin was subsequently appointed as the Prime Minister of the Aboriginal Unity Party, and was appointed by the Supreme Head of State Abdullah. He was sworn in on March 1. Since then, the opposition ’s doubts about Muhidin ’s qualifications have not subsided.

　　The German News Agency reported that Mahathir insisted that he was a qualified prime minister, on the grounds that he was supported by more than half of the members of the House of Commons. Last week, the Mahathir-led camp proposed a no-confidence motion against the government on the day the Congress resumed. However, on the day of the 18th Congress resumed, the agenda was condensed to only one speech by the Supreme Head of State, and the motion of no confidence was postponed indefinitely.

　　The Supreme Head of State Abdullah said that the decision to appoint Muhidin as prime minister is in line with the Constitution and called on the country to remain united.

　　"Every competition will have results. The political disputes in this country should not end indefinitely," Abdullah said. "According to the Constitution, I believe that Muhyiddin Yasin has the trust of the majority of members of the House of Commons and is qualified to be prime minister. "

　　Mahathir held a press conference later that day, criticizing the agenda as being compressed, saying that "there is no acceptance of the epidemic as an excuse for only two hours of meetings."

　　Reuters reported that the next meeting of the Malaysian Parliament is scheduled to be held from July 13 to August 27. (Xu Chao) 【Xinhua News Agency Micro Feature】
