Ketereh Umno division chief Annuar Musa has described his suggestion for Ismail Sabri Yaakob to be appointed as the new BN chairperson as merely an idea to be explored.
Annuar (above) said the suggestion was made following the decision of the Umno Supreme Council to nominate Ismail Sabri as the prime minister for the 15th general election.
Speaking to reporters at a breaking of fast ceremony with the Keluarga Malaysia community at the Thistle Hotel, Johor Bahru yesterday, the communications and multimedia minister hoped the matter would not be turned into a polemic.
“It’s just an opinion, and the important thing is that we welcome what the Supreme Council has decided... It's a proactive and good step forward that allows the PM to further strengthen the position of the party as well as of the government.
“That (proposal) was just my view as a member of Parliament and also the head of the division… whether it can be implemented or not is up to the decision of the Supreme Council. What’s important is once the party has made a decision, we as members must abide by the party,” he said.
On Friday, Annuar was reported to have said that it was time for Ismail Sabri to be appointed as BN chairperson and election director for GE15.
As the PM candidate, he said Ismail Sabri should be given as much space as possible to set up a new administration that could bring a new political order to the country that was fresher, cleaner, and with integrity to restore confidence.
