PETALING JAYA: Dr. Mahathir Mohamad has published his proposed motion of no confidence against Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, saying that he has to do it as he will never see the light of day on the Dewan Rakyat.
In a blog post, the former prime minister said the current administration had twice put the motion in the background, prioritizing government affairs.
“In this way, the motion will never be debated in the Dewan Rakyat,” he said.
In his 35 point motion, Mahathir explained the reason for the motion, including Muhyiddin’s decision to work with Umno and PAS to form a Malay-Muslim government to prevent the DAP from “destroying the Malays.”
“The claim that DAP can destroy Malays is nonsense.
“Malays are not so easily destroyed. The British attempts to seize (control of) the Malay states through the Malay Union were stopped by the Malay, ”he said, adding that even the Malay Communist Party did not do so by force.
If the DAP tried to destroy the Malays, he said, Muhyiddin, as then interior minister, could have declared the party and its activities illegal.
He said he could not accept Muhyiddin’s reasoning to join forces with Umno as it would be a betrayal of the voters who rejected the Najib Razak-led administration.
This eventually led to the “Sheraton Movement”, which triggered a political crisis that led to the resignation of Mahathir as prime minister and Perikatan Nasional forming the federal government.
“It is shameful how YB Pagoh (Muhyiddin) became prime minister.
“This has never happened in Malaysia until now. He himself has admitted that the Perikatan Nasional government is not one chosen by the people, ”he said.
Mahathir said that while he had accepted former Umno leaders to join PPBM when he was president, this was subject to conditions.
He said that he could not accept accepting Umno en bloc according to the wishes of its president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
“It saddens me that my comrade chooses to choose Najib, the enemy, and reject me. And accept your colleagues in the party that we founded ”.
Mahathir also accused Muhyiddin of rewarding his supporters with charges and firing PPBM leaders who opposed him, a move that he claimed was against party rules.
He also cited the dismissal of professionals from companies linked to the government and the appointment of politicians to replace them.
The Langkawi MP also claimed that the appointment of Muhyiddin as prime minister without going through a general election was against the Constitution and would lead people to lose faith in the electoral system.
“It is clear that the voices of the people are no longer valuable in Malaysia because the party rejected by the people can form a government through the back door.
“I propose that the Perikatan Nasional government return power to the legitimate (party),” he added.
