Plan to sack Yeo never discussed in Cabinet, says Salahuddin - superadmin - 04-21-2021 PETALING JAYA: The Pakatan Harapan (PH) Cabinet never discussed sacking then energy, science, technology, environment and climate change minister Yeo Bee Yin, says one of its former members. Salahuddin Ayub, the former agriculture and agro-based industry minister said the matter was never even discussed by the PH Presidential Council. This comes after DAP’s Liew Chin Tong claimed former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad wanted to sack Yeo over the Lynas issue. During her tenure, Yeo had set new conditions for the renewal of the operating licence for the Lynas rare earth plant. Liew had made the claim in his book titled “Lim Kit Siang: Patriot. Leader. Fighter”. “At the Wednesday Cabinet meeting on Aug 21, 2019, Mahathir said he wanted to make a minor change to the Cabinet portfolios. The news leaked and we were anxious,” Liew said in the book. - More -
