06 Jul 2021 / 09:58 H. PETALING JAYA: The parliamentary meeting schedule by the government is most improper and unconstitutional, and the Cabinet meeting tomorrow should rectify it, according to Lim Kit Siang. The DAP leader cited four reasons why he thinks the sitting is unconstitutional. “Firstly, there is no provision for the Opening of Parliament with a Royal Address by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, as the last meeting of Parliament was in December last year – Dec 17, 2021 for the Dewan Rakyat and Dec 29, 2021 for Dewan Negara,” Lim said in a statement today. “When Parliament was restored on Feb 20, 1971 after an interregnum for 21 months of National Operations Council-rule because of an uncompleted general election and May 13, 1969 riots in Kuala Lumpur, the first item of official parliamentary business after the oath-taking ceremony for MPs and the election of the Parliament Speaker was the official opening of Parliament with the Royal Address by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.”
