KUALA LUMPUR, May 27 — Barisan Nasional leader Isham Jalil slammed Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia and its president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin for insisting that the ministerial post vacated by Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin belonged to the party under a quota.
“Muhyiddin cannot precede the prime minister and he has to leave the matter to Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob to consider and make a decision. The BN political strategist pointed out that according to the constitution there is no such thing as a party quota for the appointment of cabinet ministers. He explained that Bersatu, being the Perikatan Nasional’s lynchpin, had lost badly in the recent state elections in Melaka and Johor.
“The country does not need incompetent ministers who are power-hungry and selfish. We need efficient, integrity-driven and principled ministers, especially at this critical time,” said Isham.
