What's Agong role in choosing a PM?KINIGUIDE | For the first time in history, virtually every member of Dewan Rakyat are being subjected to interviews by the King. “Checks with MPs revealed that there was no standardised method employed to establish who has majority support.” So they cannot ‘leak the answer’ to those still waiting to be interviewed. 😄 I am sure the Agong will not want Malaysia to return to kleptocracy. Agong is wasting his time and Rakyat's money using this brouhaha method to solve this issue. Since the PM has already resigned and Goverment of the Day has collapsed, the Agong should call for fresh elections and let the Rakyat choose their new Government.
