‘Clueless’ PM and Cabinet put us in bad shape, says Zaid

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: A former minister has hit out at Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob and his Cabinet, saying they are so inept that none of them are worthy of being a “poster boy”.

“The country is in a bad shape and it’s because we lack good leadership. This bunch is clueless,” Zaid Ibrahim told FMT.

The former law minister listed a slew of problems facing the country, from a stuttering economy, labour shortages, skyrocketing food prices and rising inflation to an “ineffective” finance minister who “does not understand the struggles of those on the ground”.

“People are suffering and the person in charge of the nation’s purse doesn’t seem to comprehend what is happening. It is quite alarming,” he said, in a reference to finance minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz’s reluctance to allow more withdrawals from the Employees Provident Fund.
