GE15 after end of Covid-19 apt decision - Mohamad Hasan

 

Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s intention to call for the 15th general election (GE15) once the Covid-19 pandemic is over has been deemed the right decision in getting a new mandate from the rakyat.

Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan said the slim majority held by the government was often being questioned by many and this situation was not good for an administration.

“The government shouldn’t think so much about politics. Winning and losing is normal because it is the people who will decide, sooner or later.

“The people have realised that a government with a slim majority will not benefit them. 

"The prime minister’s intention is good... to me, it’s good to get the mandate from the people, not due to pressure,” Mohamad told reporters on the sidelines of the Negeri Sembilan State Assembly sitting today.

Last Saturday, Muhyiddin, who is also Bersatu president, said at the party’s annual general assembly that GE15 would be held after the Covid-19 pandemic has ended.

Meanwhile, Mohamad declined to comment on the issue that the deputy prime minister post should be held by an Umno leader.

“The president (Ahmad Zahid Hamidi) has made a statement on this. It should be enough,” he said.
