KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysia’s opposition leader has demanded a special Parliament session to hold a vote of no confidence in the government.
Anwar Ibrahim is telling reporters Thursday that the vote needs to be held no later than Tuesday to “deliberate” on a motion of censure and no confidence in the leadership of Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
Parliament is currently in recess.
Anwar says he has sent a letter to Abdullah to demand the meeting, and expects “an immediate response.”
He says any “delay in his response would be interpreted as nothing short of sabotage” of democracy.
Anwar claims he has the support of more than enough lawmakers from the ruling coalition who want to defect to bring down the government.
