SEREMBAN: Pakatan Harapan leaders must honour the agreement among themselves that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad would only hold the premiership for a two-year period, says Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun.

The Negri Sembilan Mentri Besar said such agreements must be strictly adhered to, although some parties may have had a change of heart.

"Pakatan made the agreement way before the general election and as far as I am concerned, we must be steadfast and honour it.

"Anyone can air their views but we must adhere to our promise, " he told reporters after chairing the state exco meeting at Wisma Negri here.

Aminuddin, who is also the state Pakatan chief, was asked to respond to a statement by PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Azmin Ali that he backed calls made by Umno and PAS for Dr Mahathir to complete his full five years in office.

Azmin, who is also Economic Affairs Minister, in a statement on Monday (July 29) had said this was to ensure efforts to restore the glory of the nation could be realised.

"The leadership of Dr Mahathir is necessary to ensure stability, continuity and consistency of government policies to stimulate investment and create job opportunities and wealth for all.

"I believe that political stability will strengthen the policies and wisdom of the country, including the concept of shared prosperity that will make Malaysia an Asian Tiger, " he was quoted as saying.

Aminuddin said Azmin was entitled to his views but it was only proper that agreements were honoured.- Star
