It’s madness, says veteran newsman on Muhyiddin’s new appointment

PETALING JAYA: The appointment of a “failed” prime minister to head a vital body like the National Recovery Council shows Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob is treating the government like a “playground”, says veteran newsman A Kadir Jasin.

He said the move is obviously to secure Ismail’s position because former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin heads the Bersatu party which has 31 MPs needed to keep him in power.

“Muhyiddin lost his support in Parliament and he has been appointed to rehabilitate the country after damaging much of it. What kind of madness is this?

“Ismail does not care because it’s not his money. It’s taxpayers’ money,” Kadir wrote on his Facebook page.

Ismail was backed by 31 Bersatu MPs to form the new government after Muhyiddin resigned last month.
