KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 12 — The behaviour of 12 Perikatan Nasional ministers who wrote to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to reject the dissolution of Parliament triggered a no-confidence motion in caretaker prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi claimed today.
"Surely the PM could have fired all 12 ministers but this would have caused an even worse and bigger crisis, including humiliation. This would also involve a vote of no-confidence as well. Blamed for forcing the 15th general election, Muhyiddin instead shifted the blame to Ismail Sabri for triggering the election that could coincide with the year-end monsoon season since it was the PM's prerogative to decide when to dissolve Parliament.
"On the other hand, Bersatu is busy thinking only about positions and ranks," he said, further remarking that Muhyiddin did threaten to 'press the button' to withdraw his party's support for Ismail Sabri as well.
