Johor polls a prelude to push for GE15, claims DAP leader - superadmin - 01-22-2022 PETALING JAYA: A DAP leader has claimed that Najib Razak, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and his deputy Mohamad Hasan are pushing for a snap general election so they can remain in power. Johor DAP chairman Liew Chin Tong said the former prime minister and Zahid – both accused of corruption and associated with Umno’s “court cluster” – have been strategising since May 2018 to place the party in a dominant position. This is to ensure that both of them walk free from their alleged crimes, he claimed. “The (coming) Johor snap election is the product of the power struggle within Umno. The snap election brings no benefit at all to the people,” Liew said on Facebook today. “To put it in the simplest terms, the Johor snap polls is just the first salvo for a snap general election, which will be Najib’s and Zahid’s ‘get-out-of-jail’ pass.” - More -
