Those in Umno still supporting PM ‘looking for a disaster’, says Puad

PETALING JAYA: Umno members maintaining their support for Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin after the party’s decision to withdraw its support for the Perikatan Nasional-led government are “looking for a disaster”, Supreme Council member Puad Zarkashi has warned.

However, Puad stressed that the number of Umno MPs who still backed the government is dwindling.

He said the resignation of energy and natural resources minister Shamsul Anuar Nasarah proved that ministerial posts were no longer able to “buy” the support of Umno members.

“Why did that happen? Because (Umno members) only have two choices – in favour of the Agong or the prime minister, who is seen as disobeying the King,” he said.

With support for his administration waning, Puad urged Muhyiddin not to delay his resignation as prime minister.
