PETALING JAYA: A political analyst sees Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s latest national address as “worthless” unless he acts on his words.
“It’s pure talk right now,” said Oh Ei Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs.
Oh also claimed Muhyiddin was “notorious” for using various tactics to delay, cancel and postpone parliamentary sittings.
Even if Parliament is allowed to convene, motions of confidences are often set for the end of the day’s agenda, he noted.
“A government which wilfully misled Parliament with impunity has scarcely any political credibility left, much less the increasingly worthless words of a prime minister who repeatedly avoided motions of confidence,” he said.
