KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 — The Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Muda) has decided to be a “third force” in Malaysia’s politics by becoming an opposition party, its president Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman announced today.
Taking to social media to make the announcement, Syed Saddiq in a brief video clip said this decision was made after discussions within Muda.
“I, Muar MP from Muda, has already decided after discussing with the party, to be a third force opposition and not be with the government of the day,” he said in the video clip.
In the video clip, he also showed the contents of a letter dated today, which he said had been sent to the Dewan Rakyat speaker regarding this matter.
Along with the video clip, Syed Saddiq also included a brief statement where he said Muda’s decision to be a “third force” opposition was a sign of protest against the current government over the dropping of 47 charges against Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi in a trial involving alleged corruption.
Syed Saddiq claimed the dropping of the trial is a start to the normalising of corruption, adding: “We cannot and will not tolerate this unprincipled move.”
