Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Malaysia’s politics is heating up. The opposition government Anwar Ibrahim announced that it had obtained a majority in parliament and would form a new government on Wednesday (9/23/2020).
Although he has not yet issued an official statement, Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yasin implicitly asked the public to reject the actions of politicians whom he accused of undermining the country’s political stability. This was spoken shortly after Anwar’s announcement.
So what about the comments from parliament there?
Quoted from local media Malaysia KiniThe chief secretary of Pakatan Harapan, the largest coalition of parties in parliament, said Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yasin had lost a majority. This is because many members of the United Malaysia National Organization (Umno) and the Barisan Nasional Party (BN) voted for Anwar.
“Many MPs from Umno and BN support PKR (Partai Keadilan Rakyat) chairman Anwar Ibrahim to form a new government,” the media wrote, citing Pakatan Harapan Secretary General Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
This is also believed by the president of Umno, Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. According to him, some UMNO members in parliament have expressed support for Anwar.
“I respect your position,” Zahid said, quoted from The star.
He admitted that Umno and BN were not members of the National Alliance alliance created by Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. According to him, the alliance was based solely on the voluntary support of individuals in parliament and was not binding.
Still, another member of the UMNO party, Umno Youth chief Asyraf Wajdi Dasuki, insisted that no member of the party’s parliament was “misled” by Anwar. He even said that Anwar was doing it. trick.
Furthermore, he said, this was done two days before the vote in the Malaysian parliament. “I am not sure if there is any deputy from Umno involved,” he said.
To lead the Malaysian government, party leaders must have a majority of 222 votes. Currently, Mahyuddin has a slight lead with 113 votes.
Earlier, Anwar Ibrahim held a press conference on Wednesday afternoon. He admitted that he had received parliamentary support to form a new government and demote the Muhyiddin government.
He did not say the exact number. But when asked if he had nearly two-thirds of the support, the former protégé of Mahathir Mohamad complained.
“In conclusion, we have a strong and tough majority,” said The Star.
“We are not talking about four or five, but about the majority.”
“The government of (Prime Minister) Muhyiddin Yassin has fallen. I will get more information after facing the King (Raja) in the near future. God willing.”
He also said that he should have met with the King of Malaysia, Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, last Tuesday (9/22/2020). But it was postponed because the King was being treated at the National Heart Institute.
