I’ll quit Cabinet if ordered by PM, says Tok Mat
The foreign minister also says he has no intention of attacking other leaders in the unity government during the Negeri Sembilan election campaign
BN deputy chairman Mohamad Hasan said he was not offended by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s warning, as it is considered common practice during election season.
PETALING JAYA: Foreign minister Mohamad Hasan says he is prepared to resign from the Cabinet if ordered to do so by the prime minister.
The Barisan Nasional deputy chairman, who is contesting the Rantau seat in the Negeri Sembilan state election, also said he had no intention of attacking other leaders in the unity government during the campaign.
“We want to ensure that our message reaches all voters. We will not make personal attacks. However, if the prime minister orders me to resign, I am willing to do so.
“It is up to the prime minister because he is responsible for appointing Cabinet ministers and their deputies,” he was quoted by Utusan Malaysia as saying in Mambau, Seremban, today.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim warned ministers, deputy ministers and officeholders in government agencies against attacking one another while campaigning in state elections.
Anwar, who is also the Pakatan Harapan chairman, said those who turn state elections into a platform to attack others should step down from their positions.
PH Youth also called on all BN ministers and deputy ministers to resign from the Cabinet following the coalition’s cooperation with Perikatan Nasional in the Johor and Negeri Sembilan elections.
Mohamad said he was not offended by Anwar’s warning, describing it as common practice during election season.
“Campaigning during election season does not mean we have to be personal enemies. I ask for the public’s understanding and support for BN,” he said.

Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah….
ReplyDeleteOn This Day — July 19, 1994
Hezbollah, backed by Iran, blew up a civilian passenger plane in Panama, deliberately murdering every person on board simply because 12 of them were Jews.
Alas Chiricanas Flight 00901, a small Embraer turboprop carrying 18 passengers and 3 crew from Colón to Panama City, exploded shortly after takeoff. All 21 people died. Twelve of the victims were Panamanian Jews.
The attack came just one day after the AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires — the deadliest terrorist attack in Latin American history, also carried out by Hezbollah on a Jewish target with Iranian backing.
In the 1990s, Iran’s forward terror arm was already reaching across continents to kill Jews wherever they could be found. The message was unmistakable: no place is safe for Jews.
Decades later, full accountability remains elusive. The case is still not fully solved, though rewards for information are still active. Hezbollah continues its global campaign of murder and intimidation against Jews and those who stand with them.
Only a strong, sovereign Jewish state that is willing and able to defend its people and pursue justice has ever forced such enemies to pay a real price.
