Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad appears resigned to the fact that his no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin will never see the light of day and has resorted to sharing the motion on the Internet.
In a blog post today, Mahathir said his no-confidence motion against Muhyiddin has been put at the bottom of the Order Paper for two parliamentary sittings.
"Government motions were prioritised so much so that there was no time to debate my motion.
"By doing this, my motion would never be debated in the Dewan Rakyat.
"Therefore, it would be impossible for me to put forward my motion in Parliament and I am now forced to publish it on my blog for the public's consumption," he said.
In his motion, Mahathir repeated that Muhyiddin believed the Malays would be threatened if DAP remained in government.
Muhyiddin had pulled Bersatu out of Pakatan Harapan and joined forces with PKR defectors, leading to the collapse of the Harapan federal government.
He then formed the new Perikatan Nasional government with BN, PAS, GPS, PBS, and Star.
Mahathir said Muhyiddin, who was the home minister under Harapan, could have deregistered the DAP if it was genuinely a threat.
The nonagenarian politician reiterated his opposition to Muhyiddin's new coalition which includes Umno.
"I cannot accept this because (former prime minister and Umno president) Najib Abdul Razak and Umno who had ruined the country would be part of the new government."
Mahathir said he would only accept certain Umno leaders who must first quit their party but Muhyiddin was willing to accept Umno as a whole.
The Langkawi MP added that, at the time, he had asked for the new coalition plan to be postponed but to no avail. - Mkini
