KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said that he does not need anyone to fill in the role of deputy prime minister at the present time, amid pressure from ally Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia to be gifted the post.
“At this point, it does not bother or burden me not to have a deputy because all four senior ministers represent parties that are in government. Only PAS isn’t represented. But they haven’t made any noise about it. So I think that means everyone accepts that there are a few advantages and disadvantages,” he said.
On August 13, national news agency Bernama reported Ismail Sabri saying he had met with PN on August 4. Previously, three names from Bersatu were floated for the post — Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin, Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu, and International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Azmin Ali — with Hamzah seen as the stronger candidate.
Its a symbol of recognition for the second powerful leader. The tittle does not give any power. Regardless of whether or not if is not under the constitution to do so, not selecting a DPM shows that you are dominant, in which you are not,especially when the people don't want umno
Totally agreed. How about remove those non-productive ministers
