PETALING JAYA: Azmin Ali does not have the calibre to be a good deputy prime minister despite being said to be a frontrunner for the post – but his appointment would not be very surprising, says an analyst.

Universiti Sains Malaysia’s Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid said Azmin’s stint as international trade and industry minister left much to be desired, and cited reports of a clash between him and Ismail Sabri Yaakob, who was senior minister for security then.

“Remember when Ismail left an enigmatic social media note of having done his best, only to be overtaken by later decisions?


“Having said that, mediocrity breeds mediocrity. When you get a mediocre leader like Ismail as prime minister, do you expect him to want someone of a higher calibre than him to become his deputy?

“Doing that would undermine his premiership,” he told FMT.
