PETALING JAYA: An Umno MP has hit back at Bersatu and those who labelled “court clusters” as opportunists by stating that “frog clusters” were the actual political animals.
“Those who jump ship are more disgusting than court clusters” as it is a move to escape court charges, Machang MP Ahmad Jazlan Yaakub said in response to a Bersatu Supreme Council member Muhammad Faiz Na’aman.
Ahmad Jazlan said: “Your party (Bersatu) is full of political animals. You should remember that those who you are calling as court clusters are the ones that supported your president (Muhyiddin Yassin) to be the prime minister.”
Earlier today, Faiz had said the those in the “court cluster” were protecting their own interests under the guise of struggling for Malay supremacy. He accused them of using the tactic of a cartel monopolising government tenders, which was recently busted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.
Ahmad Jazlan who resigned as chairman of the Malaysian Palm Oil Board in January, said those known as “court clusters”, referring to Umno leaders facing court charges, were the ones who had supported the ruling Perikatan Nasional coalition’s 2021 budget.
“The support has allowed your president to continue leading the country till today,” he reminded Faiz.
