Malaysia's next parliamentary sitting is on May 22.

SEREMBAN, Negeri Sembilan: Malaysia Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has challenged those in the opposition who are purportedly plotting to topple the federal government to file a motion of no-confidence in the next parliament sitting.

“It has been disruptive. Whispers here and there of 126, 114, what are these? We are open to … We will fight in parliament. Why? Because I want to end this question of political instability so we can focus on helping the people."Local media have recently reported on talk that opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin has clinched enough statutory declarations from Members of Parliament backing him as the next prime minister.

“As far as we can see, the position is quite strong,” Mr Anwar was quoted last Monday as saying by Bernama. “There are many Tan Sri and Tuns, who are rich, popular, who say that Anwar cannot be relied upon to preserve the rights of the Malays in this country,” said the Tambun MP. The former prime minister said that Mr Anwar’s claims during his speech at a Parti Keadilan Rakyat congress in March were untrue and he intended to damage his reputation and image.
