PKR Youth slams Kedah Umno's 'dissolve Parliament' dare

 

Politics 

- PKR Youth has criticised Kedah Umno’s call to dissolve Parliament over alleged political turmoil following DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke’s offer to resign from the cabinet.

In a statement, PKR Youth vice-chief Taufiq Johari stressed that the stability of a government is determined by the rakyat’s mandate and its majority in the Dewan Rakyat, “not by the sentiments or calls of any state-level leader”.

The youth and sports minister also said a snap general election would only trigger uncertainty, disrupt ongoing programmes, and burden national expenditure.

He also disputed Kedah Umno strategic communications director Syed Johan Rizal’s claims that the government is “almost sinking”, pointing to the economic growth achieved by Putrajaya. - Mkini
