PETALING JAYA: Perikatan Nasional chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has been criticised as “insensitive” by several Umno leaders for raising the issue of positions, including that of a deputy prime minister, with the Prime Minister at a time when the people are grappling with rising cost of living.
Mohd Razlan said that such appointments would bring about additional expenditure to the government and not be beneficial to the rakyat. “This is not the right time to demand for positions. The current number of Cabinet members and deputy ministers is already among the highest in the country’s history, and it does not include high-ranking appointments that are equal to the status of a minister demanded by various parties that form the current government,” he said.
