PETALING JAYA: Facing the wrath of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong over the repeal of emergency ordinances, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin may have to offer up a sacrificial lamb to weather the storm, according to political analyst Azmi Hassan.
Speaking to FMT, Azmi said the honourable thing would be for Muhyiddin to step down after the royal rebuke, but this was not likely to happen as indicated by a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) saying the King had to follow the prime minister’s advice.
“Instead of Muhyiddin resigning, there may be a scapegoat to take the blame,” the academic said. “That scapegoat may be Takiyuddin Hassan.”
The law minister was the person who stunned the Dewan Rakyat last Monday when he announced that all emergency ordinances had been revoked on July 21.

Istana Negara subsequently issued a media statement on Thursday saying the government did not get the King’s consent to revoke the ordinances.
The PMO is insisting it followed the Federal Constitution in informing the King about the revocation and “laying it” before the Dewan Rakyat by placing documents on the MPs’ tables.
That has not satisfied anyone and Azmi said a fall guy is now needed to deflect Umno’s pressure for the prime minister to resign.
To stop the pressure, Azmi said, “a sacrificial lamb will be needed.”
Analyst Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya (UM) said Muhyiddin needed to put up a smart fight to survive the political storm.

“The war is with the surging of Covid cases and the struggling economy, not with the palace,” he said.
“Muhyiddin needs to admit it was an honest mistake to announce the revocation hastily.”
He said the governing Perikatan Nasional-led coalition was in a fragile state and could not afford to go head-to-head with the Palace.
“Muhyiddin needs to be humble if he plans to stay on. Or it may be best to have an interim prime minister.”
