PETALING JAYA: Foreign Minister Hishammuddin Hussein says that Umno should ignore Anwar Ibrahim’s claim to have enough numbers to form a new government, as it could threaten the interests of the country.
He said that Umno MPs should be careful about the PKR leader’s tactics because supporting him would only allow the DAP to gain more power, which would negatively affect issues of race and religion in Malaysia.
“Umno need not entertain Anwar’s propaganda. The purpose of yesterday’s press conference was to divert attention, especially ahead of the Sabah state elections in a few days.
“It was to confuse and cause more concern for the stability of the federal government,” he said in a statement today, adding that the party should focus on the polls in Sabah.
Anwar should be ashamed. At a time when the country is still at war with Covid-19, it is making plans to change the government.
“For more than 20 years, the country has been in a political crisis just because Anwar wants to be prime minister. It doesn’t benefit the country at all, ”he said.
Hishammuddin added that the cabinet and MPs must give their full support to Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
“Let’s not be important members of the government who enjoy the benefits (of the position) without supporting the leadership.
“However, if there are members of the government who are determined not to support the current leadership, it is better that they resign. We must focus on rebuilding the country, not on damaging political drama. “
