DAP Youth has called on Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to sack Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan as foreign minister.
This is over the Rantau assemblyperson’s involvement in Negeri Sembilan BN withdrawing support from Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun.
"His (Mohamad) involvement raises serious questions about his integrity and loyalty to the unity government's mandate," DAP Youth said in a statement today.
On Monday, all 14 BN assemblypersons in Negeri Sembilan - including Mohamad (above) - withdrew support from Aminuddin over the latter's handling of the spat between the state's four ruling chieftains and the Yang di-Pertuan Besar.
Following this, BN had planned to form a new state government with Perikatan Nasional.
However, the coalition appeared to have backed off from this idea, with the Umno political bureau last night resolving to support the existing state government.
No more trust in ally
DAP Youth indicated it had lost trust in BN as an ally, fearing that the latter might turn on Pakatan Harapan when given the opportunity.
As such, the wing called on the Harapan leadership to review cooperation with BN at all levels.
"A review is no longer a choice, but a necessity," it said.
Anwar commands the support of 153 MPs in Parliament, and if Umno/BN and its 30 MPs quit, the former will still be in power with 123 MPs.
‘Just sack us then’
Meanwhile, in response to DAP Youth, Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh challenged the government to sack all Umno ministers and deputy ministers.
"We are ok (with being sacked), we want to see if you are brave or not," he said.
Akmal had previously wanted to quit both as Umno Youth chief and as a Malacca exco member due in part to his enmity towards Harapan and DAP.
However, he retracted his decision to quit as Umno Youth chief after being convinced not to by the party leadership.
His resignation as a Malacca exco member has also been rejected, and he is believed to still be carrying out his duties. - Mkini
