Chief Secretary to the Government Datuk Seri Zuki Ali said the cancellation of the appointments are done on the advice of the Prime Minister as stated under Article 43 of the Federal Constitution.
Zuki said this decision is also in line with the resignation of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as Prime Minister. "In line with this, the duties of members of the administration comprising the Deputy Prime Minister, Ministers, Deputy Ministers as well as political secretaries have ceased effective the same date, which is Feb 24, 2020," he said in a statement on Monday .The Yang di-Pertuan Agong accepted Dr Mahathir's resignation and has consented for him to continue running the country as interim Prime Minister while waiting for a new premier to be appointed and a new Cabinet to be formed.
In one fell swoop, all ministers, deputies n political secretaries lose their posts. By resigning, Mahathir didn't need to sack anyone. And that's what d PKR, DAP n PAN leaders had asked last week. So he did, n keeping his pre-GE promise. Political genius!
A fresh election should be called immediately to let the rakyat decide whichever coalition they like. Don't wait.
Jgn patah balik. Kerajaan baru atau bubar parlimen. Jgn ada barua ikut Atuk patah balik. Bersatu tetap keluar. Warisan Afdal TPM. Muhidin PM. Lupakan Atuk.
The interim PM should sack current AG !! to cool down the present political temperature.
