Refusing to wait for confidence vote is treason against king - DPM
Deputy Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has hit back at critics who claim that those standing by embattled Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin are committing treason against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
Instead, he suggested that those seeking to topple the government before a vote of confidence is held in the Dewan Rakyat are the ones guilty of treason.
He said this is because the king consented to Muhyiddin going through a vote of confidence in September.
