PETALING JAYA: Zaid Ibrahim has challenged Umno MPs to decide whether or not they will continue backing Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin by sitting among the government representatives when Parliament reconvenes tomorrow.
The former law minister said it is ridiculous for Umno to claim that it no longer supports the prime minister while continuing to back the government.
He also urged all MPs, even those in the opposition, to stop being concerned about political benefit and to state whether they support the government or opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.
“Sure, we have many MPs who vehemently criticise the prime minister and the government, but they are not necessarily part of the opposition bench. In our system, no support to the prime minister equals no support to the government.
“On the contrary, because they sit on the government bench, we can say they are part of the government, their verbal attacks on the prime minister notwithstanding,” he said.
