We need parliamentary procedures to impeach prime ministers, says Senate president FMTNews FMTEng
Senate president Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said the UK’s then prime minister Tony Blair was impeached in 2004.
Wan Junaidi, a former law minister, said Malaysia currently lacks the ability to impeach prime ministers, unlike countries such as the UK, which impeached Tony Blair in 2004. While MPs across the divide are allowed to submit motions of no-confidence in the prime minister, he said there was no procedure to table or move for a motion of impeachment, adding that a no-confidence motion would never see the light of day because the government dictates the agenda of Dewan Rakyat proceedings.“ the leader of the opposition were to table that motion, they will be subject to the general rule that the government’s affairs must be given priority.
