PETALING JAYA: All Umno MPs must withdraw their support for Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi announced today, hours after the fiasco over the emergency ordinance.
In a statement, he also called on Muhyiddin and law minister Takiyuddin Hassan to resign honourably after failing to get the King’s consent to revoke the emergency ordinances, despite announcing the revocation on Monday.
“This is clearly a form of treachery against the King while going against the Federal Constitution.
“Umno MPs must comply with the Umno supreme council’s decision on July 7 to withdraw support from Muhyiddin as prime minister.
“This is in line with the foundation and goal of Umno’s establishment, which is to always preserve and uphold the institution of Malay Rulers, as enshrined under Article 3 of the Umno constitution,” he said.
