Resign from Cabinet, Puad tells Bersatu ministers

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin should relinquish his post after the party’s poor outing in the Johor elections, said Umno Supreme Council member Puad Zarkashi.

“Muhyiddin should resign from Bersatu because of its loss in the Johor elections. By right, Muhyiddin and the Bersatu ministers should resign from the government,” said Puad in a Facebook post.

“Muhyiddin attacked Umno and Umno ministers. Therefore, is it right for Muhyiddin and the Bersatu ministers to remain in a (federal) government led by Umno?”

The Perikatan Nasional coalition which Muhyiddin helms only managed to secure three of the 56 seats it contested – Bukit Kepong, Endau and Maharani.

Bersatu’s Dr Sahruddin Jamal and Alwiyah Talib won Bukit Kepong and Endau, respectively, while PAS’ Aziz Talib clinched Maharani.
