Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has indicated that a change of government at this juncture could do more harm to the nation…
Though confident that he still has the numbers, Muhyiddin, however, said the country’s current situation and problems must be taken into consideration.
“Can the country handle more problems should there be a change (of government) or political chaos?” he was quoted as saying by Bernama.
The premier said the move to table the motion of confidence received the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong…
“Things are not always what they seem. This is a political issue and that is why His Majesty consented to it (to be brought to Parliament),” he added.
Earlier, the prime minister presented food baskets and fresh food to village heads in his Pagoh constituency to be distributed to the local communities.
Who paid for the food baskets to Moo’s constituents and does it not occur to the man that to do so was either incredibly patronising or a sign of the desperate plight of his own constituents for whose well being he is responsible?
In any other democracy, for the local MP to hand out food would be considered a gesture of arrogance or failure, yet in Malaysia folk are taught that it is acceptable for politicians to make state funded gifts as if they were acts of personal charity and voters are supposed to bow and scrape and be grateful.
Meanwhile, this man’s incompetence, vanity and corrupt practices are overwhelmingly responsible for the problems currently facing his own constituents and others all over Malaysia.
As for whether he is again lying about his alleged support from the King over buying time to buy MPs (yet again) time will tell.
However, the significance of this statement by the lame duck PM is clear in that he has no intention of shifting even were he to lose the vote of confidence which he has tried to delay for a month.
He will simply argue that a change of government would not be good at this time in his opinion, so he should be allowed to continue raiding the public funds and wreaking havoc.
