TASEK GELUGOR: Caretaker Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has sought to play down his remark that he should have sacked the 12 ministers from Perikatan Nasional over their letter to the King objecting to the dissolution of Parliament.

This comes after caretaker special functions minister Dr Abdul Latiff Ahmad hit out at Ismail over the remarks, saying there was no need to fire the PN ministers as they could resign on their own.

In response, Ismail said he was just kidding when he made the remark and that Latiff would have been sacked if he was serious.

“Since he’s still in the Cabinet and hasn’t been sacked yet, that means I was just kidding,” he told reporters on the sidelines of an event here.
