PETALING JAYA: Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is believed to be seeking a no-confidence motion in Parliament against his successor Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin during the one-day Dewan Rakyat sitting scheduled on May 18.
A source said Dr Mahathir had sent the letter to Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof on the proposed motion.
The letter was dated May 4.
Dr Mahathir has proposed that the Dewan gives him the permission as Langkawi MP to move a motion under Dewan Rakyat’s Standing Order 26 (1) read together with Standing Order 27 (3) to put forward a resolution to decide that Muhyiddin, the Pagoh MP, does not enjoy the support of the MPs in Dewan Rakyat.
The letter addressed to Mohamad Ariff, which was purportedly signed by Dr Mahathir, has also made its rounds on social media.
This comes following news that Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal had proposed a motion of confidence for Dr Mahathir.

It's nothing new. Happened before during PM3 Hussein Onn but he survived. He subsequently resigned. Vote of no confidence against sitting PM also happens elsewhere in many parts of the world. However, 2 points here I'd like to state. If atuk succeeds, he will have a Malaysia book of record of dethroning many PMs. And the timing that it is done, during covid pandemic, I think people are tired of all these politics and atuk's antiques. It is the economy stupid, hundreds of thousands of people lose their jobs and the whole country is suffering economically

Good job speaker. This will end everything. If Muhiden lost Agong will call for GE 15. Muafakat Nasional have huge chances of winning and even destroy Pakatan forever. Anwar will forever hancur including PH. Mahathir will kalah teruk if newly appointed opposition leader want PH to vote in block. Kesian Anwar & Mahathir. But paling kesian Rakyat Malaysia. Let give the country to Agong. So that agong can manage this country. No need politician.

We have no choice. We have PH who very obsess with backdoor. They dont think about rakyat. They only think about backdoor and how to make Anwar as Malaysia PM. Mahathir obsess to become PM forever. What to do. this is what rakyat have to deal will. The sad story of Malaysia after the collapse of BN govt starting from GE14 until now. Always rakyat are suffering.
