KUALA LUMPUR – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today expressed gratitude and appreciation for the trust and support shown to him in Dewan Rakyat today.

He said the government today held confidence vote for the prime minister and successfully proved its legitimacy by carrying the support of the majority of Dewan Rakyat members.

“Now is the time to work and embody the changes that the people desire,” he said through a post on Facebook.

Earlier, Anwar, who is also Tambun MP, proved his legitimacy as the 10th prime minister, when the confidence motion for him was passed on the first day of the 15th Parliament in Dewan Rakyat today.

The prime minister’s legitimacy was confirmed by Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Johari Abdul who announced the outcome after a voice vote was taken once the 13 government and opposition MPs finished debating it.

Earlier, the motion was submitted by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof and supported by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. – Bernama, December 19, 2022
