Opposition can’t make headway without a PM candidate, says analyst - superadmin - 06-22-2021 PETALING JAYA: Umno and Pakatan Harapan are not likely to call for a confidence vote against Muhyiddin Yassin unless they have agreed on a candidate to be the new prime minister, and until the Covid-19 crisis is under control, say political analysts. Former academic Azmi Hassan said Umno’s two-week ultimatum to Muhyiddin was to force the Perikatan Nasional government to do “something positive”. Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said yesterday he gave the PN-led government 14 days in which to call for Parliament to reconvene. Azmi said Umno was using the opportunity to put PN in an awkward position. “They know (that a Parliament sitting) is not achievable at least until the end of July but they may feel this is the best way to force PN’s hand,” he told FMT. - More -
