PETALING JAYA: PAS is dropping its proposal to push for a motion of confidence in Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad following the Pakatan Harapan presidential council's decision on the leadership transition issue.
said it was no longer relevant to push for such a motion because the ruling coalition's decision on Friday night"can effectively stop undemocratic attempts to unseat a sitting premier".
"It is no longer relevant to push for the proposed motion because the Prime Minister can now focus on the implementation of policies and reviving the economy without undue politically motivated interference," he told The Star Saturday . He said this when asked to comment on the Pakatan presidential council's decision not to pressure Dr Mahathir to step down and hand over power to PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
"When we proposed to push for the motion of confidence, our intention was not to take over the government. Now that the democratically appointed Prime Minister is generally accepted, we can look forward to political stability. "They can now focus on discharging their duties and responsibilities without looming uncertainties and confusion. They should focus on reviving the economy," said Takiyuddin.Takiyuddin said that PAS reserved the right to change its stand if the situation warranted it.
