Umno MP chides media, Pakatan for saying Perikatan’s support for Ismail Sabri ‘conditional’
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 20 — Umno Mersing MP Datuk Abd Latiff Ahmad has criticised media reports which claimed that Perikatan Nasional MPs’ support for Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri as the prime minister is conditional.
“It is surprising and shocking that the PH MPs are unable to understand and appreciate the distinction between the freedom to exercise political support, which can change depending on the performance of the government of the day, and the declaration of support for the purposes of determining the individual member of parliament that has the support of the majority of the members of the Dewan Rakyat,” he said in a statement.
Abd Latiff however defended PN saying that the statement by the PN chairman is a reflection of PN’s political aspirations to ensure a government of clean and uncompromising leaders.
