Accepting allocations MOU terms like agreeing to gag order, says Muhyiddin

PETALING JAYA: Perikatan Nasional will be prevented from speaking up on 3R (race, religion and royalty) and LGBT issues under the draft memorandum of understanding (MOU) on allocations for the Opposition, claims Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

"Never had in the history of Malaysia since independence that a Federal Government has decided issues which can and cannot be spoken about by the MPs, other than those stated in the (Parliament) Standing Orders and the Federal Constitution," the Perikatan chairman said in a statement on Tuesday (Sept 17) as a follow-up to the Opposition's rejection of the draft MOU.
