Muhyiddin waiting for Umno’s DPM pick, won’t accept Zahid - report
Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin is waiting for Umno to nominate an ‘acceptable’ candidate to become his deputy, according to a report citing unnamed sources.
The report by Sinchew Daily today quoted one source claiming that Muhyiddin is open to appointing an Umno representative as deputy prime minister, and the ball has always been in Umno’s court to name a candidate.
However, it was said that Muhyiddin cannot accept Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as his deputy due to the court cases still pending against him.
“Tan Sri (Muhyiddin) can accept Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan, vice-president Ismail Sabri Yaakob, and Hishammuddin Hussein who does not currently hold a party post.
“It’s just a matter of waiting for Umno’s recommendation, but if they insist on nominating Zahid, sorry,” the source reportedly said.
The report also quoted an Umno source claiming the party has tasked a negotiation committee to discuss new terms with Bersatu on further cooperation, including appointments to the deputy premiership and other posts.
In addition, the report also quoted sources saying that if Muhyiddin fails to satisfy Umno’s demands, Umno will expedite a snap general election once the Covid-19 pandemic abates.
“Yesterday’s (Umno supreme council meeting) also discussed the possibility of bringing forward the general election.
“But this depends on Muhyiddin’s next move including whether he offers Umno a new deal, such as the appointment as deputy prime minister, and efforts to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic and revitalise the economy,” a source present at the meeting supposedly told the Chinese-language daily.
Malaysiakini is unable to immediately verify the report’s claims.
Umno has been jockeying for a greater role in the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government, amid unhappiness in the party grassroots on being sidelined from government appointments despite having more MPs than Bersatu.
Its political bureau had previously resolved to reconsider the party’s support for PN, but later said it would back the PN government to focus on tackling the pandemic and its economic impact.
Currently, the post of deputy prime minister is vacant.

High time Umno choose and propose Tok Mat for the TPM post. He has shown and proven his ability and leadership qualities reviving Umno through hard times immediately after the shameful defeat in GE14. His style is non-confrontional which was a factor umno being accepted again by many.
ReplyDeleteHe is the less corrupt among the corrupts. The Oxfart too can be considered...he stole only 100 million, not including those times he was on the 4th Floor of course, all chicken feed la. We should kick out those who walloped in billions LOL. A few hundred of millions telah di telan pales in comparison, wa ka ka ka.
DeleteThere is still HOPE in Tanah Air kita ni. Hooray !
Going by the same arithmetic, PH should have DAP for the DPM post...hahahaha.... but politics is not just arithmetic.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteLet the backstabbing shows continue in the saga for the beginning of the demise of that kleptomania ketuanan outfit known as umno!
With the various warlords fighting to save their skin, power & wealth, double crossing, dealings would be norms within the Machiavellian manoeuvres of these politikus.
Mamak, don't u forget to fan yr last few cents worth. The cow is mooing desperately while it's two 'trusted' lieutenants r in shaky political ground.
Bolihland might have a chance after a painful bath of fire. Short term sufferings now for long term peace & prosperity when these self-serving manipulating rats running to abandon the wrecked ship.
Hurray!
this article makes it sound like moo is a principled person which he is not, for not accepting bossku or jawa man, the reality is he has to consult the defacto dpm the queer sausage aka assbinte for permission, let the queer sausage sulk to his heart's content first
