PETALING JAYA: The meeting between a group of Umno MPs with Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Azmin Ali was to ensure that the leadership of Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has good support from Pakatan Harapan and the Opposition, said a source.
The source said the meeting was also to hear out the MPs who had wanted to meet with Dr Mahathir about allocations for their constituencies.
“However, as Dr Mahathir was busy, his parties directed them to meet with Azmin first so that he could gauge where their support stood and whether they were sincere in wanting to support his leadership. An Umno MP who was present said it was just a dinner party and that there were no serious talk or speeches.“We were asked what we needed for the constituencies as we were lacking in finances. As we were the government for decades, Azmin told us that he would weigh all requests at the ministerial level,” explained the source.
