AG: No time limit for interim PM, can appoint cabinet members

There is no time limit attached to the office of the interim prime minister, who may decide whether to appoint cabinet members at his discretion, said Attorney-General Tommy Thomas.

"An interim PM has all the powers attached to the office of prime minister. That includes appointing or not appointing cabinet members as he wishes. "Because Dewan Rakyat sits from March 10, a confidence motion can be moved for him or anyone else. There is no time limit to the office of an interim prime minister. Hence to state there is a 10-day or any other definite period is wrong," Thomas said the Yang di-Pertuan Agong has assented to the prime minister’s advice to cancel the appointments of all cabinet members following his resignation.“As such, the duties of administration members cease on the same date,” he said.

If you have any dignity left, resign before get sacked

The 1st AG that is not the puppet of the GOV....soon a puppet will take over and all case settle....
