The Dewan Negara president says it is only used when swearing in the King or deputy King.
Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar hoped the explanation would provide clear information to MPs as well as the public following a dispute over the phrase.
Dewan Negara president Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said when the Federal Constitution came into force on that date, the swearing in of the MP’s oath of office was stipulated in the Sixth Schedule and there was never any mention of the “Wallahi Wabillahi Watallahi” phrase. “As in a reply provided by the Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat, the declaration of the oath is in accordance with the Standing Order 5 of the Dewan Rakyat Standing Orders, which stipulates that the oath be taken in the form set out in the Sixth Schedule of the Federal Constitution,” he said in a statement today.
