Proposing Ismail Sabri as prime minister an affront to king

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – It is perplexing that Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob can even consider himself a candidate for prime minister, when he stood by current leader Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin when the latter suspended the democratic process and was belligerent to the king.

With statutory declarations being signed to propose the Umno vice-president as the next prime minister, critics of the Perikatan Nasional government are questioning why the people are stuck with only one choice – another individual from a failed government.

PKR communications chief Fahmi Fadzil said the current prime minister candidate must be opposed by all parliamentarians.

“Ismail Sabri, as a son of Pahang, did not defend the constitutional monarchy institution on July 29, when the Yang di-Pertuan Agong had expressed His Majesty’s unhappiness over the fact that cabinet members had disobeyed His Majesty’s decree to debate and vote on the emergency ordinance in Parliament.
