00:00 Analysts are at odds over the effect of Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim's warning
00:08 to MPs that he would not entertain attempts to unseat the unity government.
00:14 Council of Professors fellow Jeniri Amir said the Agong's "stern message" gave Prime
00:19 Minister Anwar Ibrahim's administration a guarantee of stability, calling it an opportunity
00:25 for Anwar to make good on promised reforms.
00:28 Jeniri said it is important for the government to use the time leading up to the 16th general
00:33 election to address public and national issues and undertake reforms to put the country on
00:39 the right track.
00:41 On Monday, Sultan Ibrahim warned MPs against causing political instability, saying they
00:46 must prioritise protecting the welfare of Malaysians over their own interests or those
00:51 of their political parties.
00:52 Meanwhile, Shaza Shukri of the International Islamic University Malaysia said the Agong's
00:58 remarks do not guarantee that Anwar remains Prime Minister until GE16.
01:03 She said the Agong's discretionary power to appoint the Prime Minister would not stop
01:07 MPs from tabling a motion of no confidence against Anwar in Parliament.
01:13 We don't know, maybe in the next 2-3 years there is still a possibility, but the possibility
01:19 is getting thinner.
01:21 But I'm not saying there is no possibility at all.
