KUCHING: Batang Sadong MP Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said the motion tabled at the Dewan Rakyat for Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof to vacate his post to another candidate was normal, especially when there was a change in the government.

“This is also the first time we face a situation like this and therefore, it will be a guide for us in the future should something like this happen,” Nancy told Sarawak Public Communication Unit (Ukas) before the first day of the Parliament sitting on Monday (July 13).

She added that such practices were also in accordance with the law.

The motion to replace Mohamad Ariff was passed on Monday (July 13) with 111 government MPs supporting it while 109 other MPs voted against it.

Mohamad Ariff was appointed as the Dewan Rakyat Speaker on July 16, 2018 after the first meeting of the 14th Parliament was held following the 14th General Election.

The current Parliament session will continue for 25 days until August 27.
