The lawmakers consider this another ploy for the PM to dodge a no-confidence vote
The police blocked opposition lawmakers from marching on Monday to protest a two-week lockdown of Malaysia's Parliament, which they consider was another ploy for the embattled Prime Minister to dodge a no-confidence vote. With the crucial parliamentary session due, the Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin instead postponed the session and announced that the Parliament will be shut for two weeks. The health ministry said Parliament was deemed a high-risk venue because the four of 11 COVID-19 positive cases detected among staff and others, were suspected to be the fast-spreading delta variant.
