Anwar-Dr M march, an op for Takiyuddin and a secret Umno meet

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: The country’s turbulent politics continued today with the unlikely scenario of Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Anwar Ibrahim marching shoulder to shoulder with other members of Parliament (MPs) in a gathering at Dataran Merdeka, urging Muhyiddin Yassin and his cabinet to step down immediately.

Even as they marched, news broke that beleaguered law minister Takiyuddin Hassan, who sparked the current controversy by revealing the revocation of the emergency ordinances (EOs), was in hospital to undergo an urgent stent placement for a blocked artery.

Takiyuddin and Muhyiddin have become the main targets for criticism from the opposition following the revocation of the EOs, announced in Parliament on July 26.

Takiyuddin told the Dewan Rakyat that the government had revoked all EOs effective July 21.

Even the King, who was displeased that the revocation was done without his consent, singled out Takiyuddin and attorney-general Idrus Harun in a media statement.
