Unhappy and unready, but PH won’t quit MoU, says analyst - superadmin - 01-16-2022 PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan, while unhappy with the government, is caught between its unreadiness to face a general election and Umno’s pressure on prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob to dissolve Parliament, according to a political analyst. Azmi Hassan, formerly of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, said the opposition coalition was stuck “between a rock and a hard place” because it would not do well in a general election now despite its obvious discontent with the government’s performance. “The greatest pressure to dissolve Parliament is from Umno and I don’t think PH can afford to fulfil (Umno’s) threats,” he said. Azmi said a pull-out by PH from its political understanding (MoU) with Ismail’s government would add greater pressure on the prime minister, who is already under pressure from his own party, Umno. - More -
