Transition of power should be done ‘as was promised’, says PKR reps

Malaysiakini

Amid speculation that Pakatan Harapan has rallied enough support from MPs to topple the Perikatan Nasional-led government, parliamentarians from PKR said the leadership transition should be done “as promised”.
Although they did not elaborate, this may allude to former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s promise to hand over the reins of power to PKR president Anwar Ibrahim this year.
In a joint statement signed by PKR whip Johari Abdul (above), the 39 MPs said they are aware of negotiations underway between various parties to “restore the people’s mandate to its rightful place as soon as possible” referring to Harapan’s victory at the 14th general election.
“This is not a competition between political elites to seize power but is instead to bring forth the true reformasi agenda that cares about the people.
“Any transition of power should take place in a manner that has been promised, peaceful and orderly, and in line with the law,” he said.
He said this was among the matters discussed between the 39 PKR parliamentarians during an online meeting today.
Earlier, it was rumoured that Harapan and Warisan has rallied 129 MPs on their side out of 222 MPs in the Dewan Rakyat thus challenging PN’s legitimacy to rule 
Senior Minister (Economic Cluster) Azmin Ali said he is in the dark on the matter, but warned against dragging the country into another round of political crisis.
For the record, during the Dewan Rakyat sitting on May 18, the house’s seating arrangement revealed that Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has 114 MPs on his side – a majority of just two seats.
Meanwhile, the PKR lawmakers said they had also discussed boosting efforts to come up with policies that would benefit the people, as well as the need to strengthen reforms both within and outside Parliament.
They also highlighted the need to review efforts made thus far to ensure promises made in the past are delivered and mistakes not repeated.
“PKR parliamentarians are reminded to prioritise the people’s welfare, especially those affected by Covid-19 including those who lost their jobs and income where a comprehensive effort is required,” he said. - Mkini
