Zuraida to Anwar: It’s you who caused political instability
Zuraida Kamaruddin says it would be “statesman-like” for Anwar to support Muhyiddin Yassin during the health crisis
PETALING JAYA: A former PKR women’s leader has blamed PKR president Anwar Ibrahim for the current political uncertainty after he accused the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government today of incompetence in considering a partial state of emergency.
Zuraida, who is now with PPBM, said Anwar appeared “to have completely forgotten that it was his recent actions that caused the ‘political instability’ and distraction in the battle against Covid-19”.
Urging him to “self-reflect”, Zuraida said Anwar had also held a press conference last month claiming that he had a “formidable and convincing majority” in the Dewan Rakyat and that the government led by Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin had collapsed.
“Having said that, he left the press conference without producing a single name to support his claim and this he did in the midst of a national health crisis,” Zuraida added.
She said Anwar, who claimed the government lacked transparency, had failed to be transparent with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong about his so-called formidable and convincing majority when he had an audience with the King last week.
Coming to the defence of Muhyiddin, Zuraida said, while Anwar had carried on with “protracted and frivolous drama”, the government was attempting to bring the current Covid-19 surge under control.
Zuraida, who is minister for housing and local government in Muhyiddin’s government, said Anwar should have supported Muhyiddin, while the nation copes with a health crisis. That would be “the statesman-like thing to do”.
Anwar’s accusation of PN’s incompetence came in a statement commenting on speculation that a partial state of emergency may be declared because of the surge in the number of Covid-19 infections.

Telly Tubby should stop being an ungrateful traitor to her old Boss and see who is really the culprit whose actions have caused continuous ‘political instability’ and distraction, not only in the battle against Covid-19”, but since 2003.
KUALA LUMPUR — All five lawmakers from Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s party Pejuang have separately filed a motion of no confidence against Mr Muhyiddin Yassin, citing he had lost the confidence of the house.
This is the former Malaysian Prime Minister’s second motion, after his first one in May did not see the light of day in the Dewan Rakyat (the Malaysian Parliament's lower house).
The Langkawi MP filed the motion yesterday to Dewan Rakyat speaker Azhar Azizan Harun.
The other Pejuang lawmakers have also followed suit in submitting a motion of no confidence.
They are Mr Maszlee Malik (Simpang Rengam), Mr Mukhriz Mahathir (Jerlun), Mr Shahruddin Md Salleh (Sri Gading) and Mr Amirudin Hamzah (Kubang Pasu).
Since their party is yet to be registered, these lawmakers are considered independents.

Mr Maszlee said the decision to file the motions was decided in a meeting yesterday because of Mr Muhyiddin’s failure to handle the Covid-19 pandemic as well over doubts if he had a majority in Dewan Rakyat.
“This decision was taken because of the PM’s failure to govern during the Covid-19 pandemic and also doubts about the PM’s majority,” he said in a statement.
All five lawmakers said their motions should be allowed under the standing orders section 26(1) read together with section 27(3).
