So, back to the 1st question – whether the speaker has the power within the boundary of the laws or convention to speed up the debate of a private member motion of no confidence in the Dewan Rakyat.
The answer is, quite obviously, no. The speaker has no power to move about businesses out of the regular order. It would be illegal for the speaker to do so when the law is expressed and clear, regardless of whatever power the speaker has in interpreting the law as it is. In this matter, the law is clear and it neither necessitates nor affords any room for interpretation.
When a piece of law expressly sets out a legal position, that law must be enforced. That would leave out any room for the exercise of discretion. Any exercise of “discretion” in the face of a contrary or prohibitive legal proposition would be ultra vires the law. It would be an abuse. Or an illegality.
The obvious way out of this is for any MP who would like to move a no confidence vote to convince a minister to move the House to proceed with such motion ahead of any other business. This may sound odd. But that is the only way out under our law presently.
As I had pointed out in my media statement, this is not unique to Malaysia.

PN drowning themselves into oblivion... Soon, if every MP who doesn't support Muhyiddin submits a motion and make it public, it's as good as a vote whatever the speaker says...lol Trending now...https://m.malaysiakini.com/news/546764
The market will react positively to ASB even though if Razaleigh supercedes AI to become the PM. Simply b'coz AI might be made DPM as Razaleigh will need PH's support to make up for the majority.
