JOHOR POLLS | Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak has deemed his successor Muhyiddin Yassin as a failure and unfit to be Johor’s economic adviser.
Najib told reporters that his judgment of the latter was based on Muhyiddin’s past track record as prime minister - particularly, his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and economic crisis during his time in power.
“Many people - not just me - have said that he has headed a government that failed to handle the Covid-19 pandemic and also economic issues during his time as prime minister.
“After that, he was unable to continue as prime minister. What can he bring from his past achievements that will make him a convincing economic adviser for Johor.
“Who can help the development of Johor? That is what is being questioned by many,” said Najib, who is the BN advisory board chairperson during a press conference at Kompleks Seri Pekembar, Bukit Kepong today.
This was in response to Muhyiddin offering his services on Feb 17 as the state government's economic adviser in the event Perikatan Nasional won the southern state in its state polls on March 12.
The ex-prime minister and former menteri besar Muhyiddin said he intended to help the state's economy affected by the Covid-19 outbreak by creating more job opportunities and providing skills training. - Mkini
