Saifuddin Abdullah highlights those 'sowing fear', while Syed Saddiq tweets about 'undemocratic' attempts to overthrow PM.
from the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, two ministers have warned against alleged efforts to overthrow Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and the Pakatan Harapan government by sowing fear and propagating falsehoods about the treaty.
“These parties have also played to emotions by sowing fear to the public and causing confusion and misunderstanding to achieve political goals with the intention of toppling the democratically elected Pakatan Harapan administration and Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Separately, Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman hinted at “undemocratic” attempts to topple Mahathir, and vowed to defend the premier.
The premier had also claimed that an unidentified party had tried to pit the royalty against the federal government over the statute’s ratification. Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Md Farid Md Rafik further chastised those who are supposedly trying to drive a wedge between the government and the rulers.
Previously, it was reportedly that Wisma Putra had informed Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah of the government’s intention to accede to the treaty on Feb 15.
