Prop up Ismail until Najib’s case ends, says Chin Tong

PETALING JAYA: Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s government must be supported until former prime minister Najib Razak’s corruption case comes to a conclusion, says DAP strategist Liew Chin Tong.

Pakatan Harapan should maintain its political pact with Ismail’s government, as there would be a snap general election the moment the pact collapses – “a dream come true” for what he called Umno’s “troika”, comprising Najib, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan.

“If the troika win a majority, the two senior leaders will walk free from jail,” he said in an article posted on Sunday.

Liew said that Ismail was only “50% Umno”, being close to Muhyiddin Yassin’s Bersatu and the Perikatan Nasional coalition, Umno’s rival to gain Malay voter support.
