MELAKA – Despite Barisan Nasional (BN)’s thumping victory in Melaka in November, questions have begun to emerge over chief minister Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali’s administration in the historical state.

According to several insiders with knowledge of the matter, it is learnt that Sulaiman continues to be embroiled in an internal tussle within Melaka Umno over several key issues in the state.

Sulaiman had survived the state election virtually unscathed, with BN winning 21 out of 28 state seats.

The election was triggered after four assemblymen from the PN-BN coalition government had declared their non-support for his leadership.

A source speaking on the condition of anonymity said the 57-year-old is facing a fresh wave of a power tussle, given that several key policy decisions were being made without his consent.

“He has grown so frustrated that he could just vacate his Lendu state seat, which would result in a state by-election.

“He is currently in the position of a leader with no powers.
