Fighting for UMNO bodies

Star Online:

Zahid also denies Hishammuddin leading 30 Barisan MPs in move to back Mahathir

By HEMANANTHANI SIVANANDAM, RAHIMY RAHIM and TARRENCE TAN



KUALA LUMPUR: While a number of Umno lawmakers have come out in support of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to serve a full term as the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic) says it is not Umno’s official stand.

The party president said for now, Umno’s stand is to respect the present government.

Supporting Dr Mahathir for a full tenure is “not Umno’s official stand and I respect any personal opinions”, he told reporters at the Parliament lobby yesterday.

Ahmad Zahid also shot down speculation that former Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein is trying to get 30 MPs from Umno and Barisan Nasional to back Dr Mahathir to remain as premier for a full term.

“As a country that practises democracy, the democratic system through general elections is the foundation to the formation of a government. I don’t think that speculation will be a reality, ” he said.

The Bagan Datuk MP added that Pakatan Harapan leaders should not be too concerned about the speculation because “it will not happen if it is unrequited (love)”.

Wah, Ahmad Zahid sounded almost presidential, wakakaka.


And I can understand why he said that it's not UMNO's official stand to support Mahathir as PM for the full term. Mahathir is out to get him and Najib, especially Najib, wakakaka again.


you useless brat - you did not report to me for 6 months - is that how you behave as a PM appointed by me?

I thought I was appointed by AAB? I thought you've retired
 

Only Azmin's matey Hisham is allegedly 'spared' by King Minus, that is, only if Hisham brings "gifts" and frogs to His Imperial Excellency. See post "Dignity"? of the Crony Yum Seng-ing for more.

  1. It is illegal to conspire and plot to overthrow a democratically elected government.

    Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin must order the polis to round up all the suspected conspirators for questioning. He must follow the example of the previous Home Minister Zahid Hamidi.

    Police to call up Mahathir over 'plot to topple Najib'

    AUG 6, 2017

    KUALA LUMPUR • Malaysian police plan to call up former premier Mahathir Mohamad and other individuals soon, to record statements from them on an alleged plot to topple Prime Minister Najib Razak, the country's deputy police chief said yesterday.

    This follows an allegation by Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi that Tun Dr Mahathir had suggested Datuk Seri Najib be toppled in a meeting in 2015.

    Datuk Seri Zahid himself was defending against an earlier claim by Dr Mahathir that it was Mr Zahid who called for the ouster of the Prime Minister via a no-confidence vote in Parliament in 2015, at the height of the financial scandal involving state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad.

    Deputy Inspector-General of Police Noor Rashid Ibrahim told the media yesterday that two parties had made police reports about the issue and the men in blue have opened up investigations papers.

    The Malaysian authorities have, in recent months, pushed back hard against their critics, who are accused of trying to "topple a democratically elected government", as the country moves closer to the next general election that must be called by August next year.

    Asked yesterday whether Dr Mahathir would be called up for questioning, Tan Sri Noor said: "Yes."

    "We act on all reports received," he told reporters after attending an event. "We have studied the police reports and have opened investigation papers. The papers will be submitted to the public prosecutor, who will decide what to do next."

    Mr Zahid, who is also Home Minister in charge of the police, said he had taped the conversation with Dr Mahathir to prove who is telling the truth.
