Group of seven opposition MPs issues joint statement objecting to the PN government's proposed motion to remove the speaker and his deputy.

No reasonable grounds to remove Ariff from his Dewan Rakyat role, it says.

Dewan Rakyat Speaker Mohamad Ariff has been credible in his role, lawmakers should vote in rakyat's interest.

According to Nga, Muhyiddin has defied convention by submitting for both to be replaced on the spot.

Former Malacca menteri besar Adly Zahari says they hope justice will be served.

Perak MB and his state gov't should be investigated and all those involved should be charged in court, says Ngeh.
