Pakatan Rakyat Members of Parliament, led by MP for Permatang Pauh and PKR president Datin Seri Wan Azizah Ismail, filed a motion of no confidence against the Prime Minister and his Cabinet after months of making the threat.
The Speaker promised to give full consideration to the motion but it has been understood that the motion will be rejected after it is read on Monday.
The motion, filed under Section 18 (1) and (2) of the House Standing Order, was passed to Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia at his office in Parliament House at 3.45pm.
Among others, the motion stated that the 12th general election witnessed a 'political tsunami' which saw five states and the Federal Territories falling into the hands of the Pakatan Rakyat and Barisan Nasional being denied a two-thirds majority.
"BN achieved its slim victory by manipulating the Election Commission and through lies.
"The price of fuel was suddenly raised after the elections although the deputy premier - while launching the election manifesto - promised this would not happen.
BN parliamentarians who rejected this irresponsible action of their leaders are threatened and forced not to speak out.
"This development has caused a crisis of confidence with the prime minister and his cabinet. The people are facing several crises such as an increase in the prices of fuel and foodstuff.
"In addition, the people's confidence in the police, attorney-general and judiciary is also on the decline. Crime and corruption is on the rise."
