The former prime minister was asked to comment on the call by Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, who had advised Dewan Rakyat members to support the 2021 Budget for the well-being of the people and the recovery of the economy of the country. affected by Covid-19.
Mahathir, who is also a Langkawi MP, said that it was the responsibility of each MP to study the important documents before making a decision to endorse them.
Commenting on Pejuang’s registration, which has yet to be approved, Mahathir urged the Registrar of Companies (RoS) to clearly indicate what was needed to confirm the party’s registration.
“Tell us what is incomplete. We will comply with the law. If we have broken any part of the law, we will amend it accordingly, ”he said.
