Rashid’s unsure if Art has received the letter
She tweeted this with a screenshot of an article in which Rashid had said to The Vibes that any discussions regarding the Dewan Rakyat from the Agong should come from the Prime Minister and not the Speaker.
Based on the reports, he was unsure if Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun had even received the letter but if the latter did, it is unprecedented because Rashid said there hasn’t been any precedent where the Agong would directly go to the the Speaker.
