Question

Accepted Answer

Pejuang MPs May Abstain from Parliament Session if Debates are Restricted

Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang) is contemplating whether its Members of Parliament (MPs) should boycott the upcoming parliamentary session. This consideration arises if the proposed motions are not accepted and debates are disallowed. Pejuang chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad indicated that the parliamentary meeting, scheduled to commence on July 26, would essentially serve as a briefing session if such restrictions were imposed. A definitive decision regarding attendance will be made at a later stage.
Potential Boycott Under Discussion

The party is currently evaluating the implications of attending a parliamentary session where the opportunity for debate and the presentation of motions might be curtailed. Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has explicitly stated that the presence of Pejuang MPs is contingent upon the allowance of debates and motions. If these are not permitted, the party will then deliberate on the course of action, including the possibility of not attending.
Special Parliamentary Session Details

A special five-day parliamentary session has been convened, with proceedings set to take place from July 26 to August 2. The notification for this session was distributed to all Members of the Dewan Rakyat. The nature of this session, particularly concerning the scope for discussion and the acceptance of proposed parliamentary actions, is the central point of Pejuang's deliberation.
Pejuang's Representation in Parliament

Pejuang, which recently secured approval from the Registration of Societies (RoS), has three elected representatives in Parliament. These MPs are Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir representing the Jerlun constituency, Datuk Amiruddin Hamzah for Kubang Pasu, and Datuk Shahruddin Md Salleh who serves Sri Gading. The party's decision on attendance will impact its representation during this specific parliamentary sitting.
