Delay in decision on Zuraida shows PM’s weak position, says Nur Jazlan

PETALING JAYA: The delay in making a decision on Zuraida Kamaruddin’s Cabinet post is indicative of Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s weak position, says Johor Umno deputy chief Nur Jazlan Mohamed.

“It is just a mess and reflects his weak position,” Nur Jazlan said. “He is unable to make decisions or assert his authority because he is being held to ransom by certain quarters.

“The fact that he is dragging his feet shows that he could be buying time. It’s already been more than two weeks since she left Bersatu for Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) and she is still in the Cabinet. Never has an Umno prime minister been this weak in the nation’s history.”

Nur Jazlan was commenting on Ismail not saying whether the plantation industries and commodities minister would be dropped and replaced with another Bersatu MP or that he would continue to let her keep the position until the next general election (GE15).
