Will he, won’t he: confidence vote for Ismail Sabri will quell arguments, say analyst

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – As the country waits for the Dewan Rakyat to convene again on September 13, all eyes will be set on whether Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob tables a vote of confidence on his leadership.

Expectations have intensified after opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim claimed Ismail Sabri had apparently hinted at not wanting the vote to be held.

On Saturday night, Anwar, who is PKR president and Port Dickson MP, had claimed that after their meeting on August 25, Ismail Sabri had whispered “maybe there is no need for a vote of confidence” to him.

Analysts have maintained that tabling the vote of confidence is imperative to quell arguments pertaining to the matter.
