Umno’s Nazri Aziz pledges parliamentary support for Muhyiddin to avert ‘dictatorship through the backdoor’
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 25 — Former minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz has pledged to persuade his party colleagues to back Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin when he tables his maiden Budget scheduled for November, in a bid to prevent the prime minister from invoking emergency rule.

Nazri, the party’s member of parliament for Padang Rengas, said the offer was made on the back of fears about a “dictatorship through the backdoor” should Emergency be declared, which he vehemently opposed.

The former law minister has guaranteed Muhyiddin the votes of 23 Barisan Nasional MPs including from himself, a proposition intended to assure the embattled prime minister that he would be given the space — at least for now — to steer his government amid a worsening Covid-19 pandemic.

“I will persuade the backbenchers to heed the Yang Dipertuan Agong’s advice that we focus on fighting the Covid-19 pandemic so that whatever it is, it benefits the people,” Nazri told Malay Mail.
