No-confidence motion? Speaker says wait until tomorrow
"Wait for tomorrow, thank you," he said briefly when contacted today.
According to tomorrow's Order Paper published on the Parliament's website, no such motion has been submitted by any members of parliament, particularly from the opposition bloc.
The Dewan Rakyat sitting, which starts tomorrow and runs until Aug 28, is expected to continue into the evenings, with the main focus on the tabling of the 13th Malaysia Plan.
The call for the opposition to table a no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister was made yesterday by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the Finance Minister.
This was in response to efforts by the opposition to organise a rally scheduled for this Saturday, demanding his resignation.
For the record, a confidence motion in support of the Prime Minister was previously tabled in the Dewan Rakyat on Dec 19, 2022, after Anwar was appointed to lead the government following the 15th General Election (GE15).
At the time, the motion was passed via a voice vote after it was tabled by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof and seconded by his counterpart Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, before being debated by 12 MPs from both the government and opposition blocs.
Meanwhile, acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad previously said police expect between 10,000 and 15,000 people to participate in the Himpunan Turun Anwar rally scheduled for July 26.

SIA flights between Singapore-Cambodia, Singapore-Thailand, operating normally amid border dispute
A spokesperson for the SIA Group said its top priority is the safety of customers and its employees. - ST SINGAPORE: All Singapore Airlines (SIA) flights between Singapore and Cambodia, as well as between Singapore and Thailand, continue to operate normally despite a deadly border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia. A spokesperson for the SIA Group said its top priority is the safety of customers and its employees. 'We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will adjust our flights where necessary,' the spokesperson added. A long-simmering border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia escalated to deadly violence on July 24 as their military forces clashed at multiple spots, leaving at least 12 people dead. The flare-up is part of a broader disagreement with origins stretching back more than a century and involves parts of a region known as the Emerald Triangle, where the boundaries of Thailand, Cambodia and Laos meet. The leaders of Thailand and Cambodia will attend mediation talks over their deadly border conflict in Malaysia on July 28 at 3pm local time at the Malaysian Prime Minister's Office in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim invited representatives from both countries. Malaysia, which chairs the regional grouping Asean, has informed the Thai government that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet would also be attending the talks, the statement said. According to The Nation, flights between Thailand and Cambodia are continuing as normal, as Cambodia's declared restricted area is limited and does not significantly impact air traffic departing from Thailand. Alternative flight paths are also readily available. - The Straits Times/ANN
