Muhyiddin scorns Anwar for naming ‘kleptocrats’ to cabinet

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – Former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has poured scorn on the newly announced cabinet, saying that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has “sold the country’s dignity” by appointing “kleptocrats”.

Muhyiddin, who is also Perikatan Nasional chairman, also accused Anwar of “pawning principles of good governance” that Pakatan Harapan championed during its election campaign.

“This is the most disappointing cabinet line-up in the country’s history when a person who has been called to defend himself against 47 corruption charges, breach of trust, and money laundering is appointed deputy prime minister.”
