Report: SD ‘mastermind’ Nazri Aziz claims some BN MPs have lost faith in Umno president Zahid

KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 — Padang Rengas MP Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz has admitted that he is the “mastermind” behind the move to obtain signatures for a statutory declaration (SD) from Barisan Nasional (BN) MPs in support of Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.

However, Mohamed Nazri, as reported by Sinar Harian, said the move was not intended to trigger a change of prime minister, as alleged by some, but merely to give a mandate to the Sembrong MP to be the spokesman for 25 Barisan Nasional (BN) MPs should they be called before the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

He explained that the SD should be considered a “mandate declaration of BN MPs” aimed at explaining their objection to Opposition Leader, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, to His Majesty.

“I can confirm the matter because I have been working on it for the past two weeks, after we were informed that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong would call party leaders to Istana Negara again, starting June 9.
