KUALA LUMPUR: Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Dr Johari Abdul confirmed that he had received a notification letter regarding Larut MP Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin’s status as the opposition leader.
Speaking to Bernama, he said the Dewan Rakyat sitting, due to start tomorrow, will involve several changes to MPs’ seating positions.
This includes the seat allocated to Pagoh MP and Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, which was made upon his request.
As shown on the official Parliament website’s updated seating plan as of June 19, Muhyiddin has been assigned a seat in Block E of the Dewan Rakyat.
