I was just joking, says Ismail on sacking PN minister
PETALING JAYA: . This comes after former 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.
The Bersatu man said the Cabinet would have given Ismail that mandate if he had stated his intention to dissolve Parliament “transparently and sincerely”. He also claimed that Ismail did not directly respond to a senior minister’s query on Oct 7 as to the date of Parliament’s dissolution. Parliament was dissolved on Oct 10 with the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
