Muhyiddin wrong to say he must be consulted on dissolution, say analysts

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Muhyiddin Yassin might have shot himself in the foot when he insisted that the coalition must be consulted before Parliament is dissolved, says an analyst.

“I think he made a mistake by announcing to the world that he wants to be consulted,” said James Chin of the University of Tasmania’s Asia Institute.

“That he has had to tell the media that he expects to be consulted … this actually tells you that he is currently not being consulted.

“This is a sign of (political) weakness rather than that of political strength. It is also a signal that the general election is coming up very soon.”
