The buck stops with the PM, he must resign, says Najib

 

Najib Razak said it is his responsibility as an MP to defend the Federal Constitution.

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin must take the fall for his government’s actions and resign, says former prime minister Najib Razak.

The Pekan MP said although another individual (law minister Takiyuddin Hassan) had misled the house, the responsibility was on the prime minister’s shoulders.

“Following the King’s anger, I am of the opinion that Muhyiddin must take responsibility for what happened and the best option is to step down respectfully,” he said in a press conference today.

“The buck stops with the prime minister.”

Najib recalled that “many things had taken place” during his tenure as prime minister for which he had to take the bullet.

He also said he was making this stand because it was his responsibility as an MP to defend the Federal Constitution when he took his oath of office.

“It’s not personal. It’s a question of fundamental principles in government affairs, especially in terms of parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy.”

He also stressed that Umno had decided to withdraw support for the prime minister, but still supported the Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration.

Earlier today, Istana Negara issued a statement to say that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong had not consented to the revocation of Emergency Ordinances (EOs), which was announced by law minister Takiyuddin Hassan in Parliament on Monday.

The Prime Minister’s Office has since issued a statement to say that the annulment of EOs was carried out according to the law. - FMT
