Iskandar Puteri MP Lim Kit Siang has cast doubt on the rationale behind the government not wanting to put up a motion of confidence against Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The DAP veteran compared the reason cited by de facto Law Minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar and the statement by Attorney-General Idrus Harun on the confidence vote.

Lim added that the only reason the government is shunning the confidence motion was that Ismail Sabri feared he would not be able to secure the support of 114 MPs in the confidence vote.
