The proposal by MIC president SA Vigneswaran for Parliament to be suspended (prorogued) so that the government can focus on efforts to curb the spread of Covid-19, has never been discussed by BN.

"That is just MIC's proposal," BN secretary-general Annuar Musa said.

At a press conference on the announcement of the Wilayah Cakna 3.0 initiative in Putrajaya yesterday, the federal territories minister said the prorogation of Parliament was never discussed at the BN level, nor was the party’s recommendation to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Asked whether BN would place conditions to support Perikatan Nasional (PN), Annuar said BN had not finalised any decision on the matter.

"At the BN level we have not held any meetings, so there is no latest information and we cannot predict when the meeting will be held because we have not received instructions," he added.
