A petition calling for the resignation of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, or his real name Mahiaddin bin Mohd. Yassin as Prime Minister has caught Malaysians’ attention yesterday as it garnered more than 30,000 signatures within 24 hours.
As of the time of writing, the Change.org petition titled ‘Petisyen mendesak YAB Tan Sri Mahiaddin letak jawatan Perdana Menteri’ or ‘Petition urging for YAB Tan Sri Mahiaddin to resign as Prime Minister’ has garnered a total of 30,696 signatures.
However, despite the over 30,000 signatures making the petition one of the top signed on Change.org, it is still far off from its target of garnering a total of 1 million signatures.
Written in Bahasa Malaysia, the creator of the Change.org petition said that it was made due to the current situation faced by the Malaysian rakyat and as an initiative to force Mahiaddin Yassin to take responsibility for the alleged failures of his administration and resign from his position as Prime Minister.
Furthermore, the petition also claimed that Mahiaddin is no longer capable to lead the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government due to an alleged ‘10 factual reasons’ as per below:
- The Prime Minister has completely failed to adhere to the request of His Majesty Yang di-Pertuan Agong to reopen Parliament and debate on the various Emergency Ordinances and the National Recovery Plan.
- Mahiaddin has failed to synchronise the actions and decisions of his Cabinet Ministers to be more uniformed and not make any contradicting decisions that negatively affect the other.
- Mahiaddin has proven to propagate ‘false news’ by stating that Malaysians will be allowed cross-state travel to those that are fully vaccinated.
- The Prime Minister has failed to study and execute a systematic and ‘whole-of-society’ aid to the rakyat, especially for the M40 and T20 categories which has been neglected throughout the Movement Control Order (MCO) and total lockdown.
- Mahiaddin has no capabilities to ensure the nation’s economy to be in the right track after many foreign investors prefer to invest in our neighbouring countries instead.
- Mahiaddin has made Malaysia the laughing stock of the world after our country has been made the ‘joke’ of foreign countries.
- Mahiaddin has wasted public funds by appointing a bloated Cabinet with many ministers not contributing at all towards the benefit of the nation.
- Up to this day, the legitimacy of Mahiaddin as Prime Ministers has yet to be proven in Parliament due to his actions of suspending the Legislative body without any valid reason.
- Mahiaddin has seriously ‘injured’ the Federal Constitution after backdating the revocation of 6 Emergency Ordinances in Parliament and not being transparent about the matter in the Dewan Rakyat.
- The Mahiaddin administration has sold many national assets and made many domestic loans as early as January until May this year worth approximately RM130.03 billion without any valid reasons for both. Furthermore, there is a lack of transparency with questions raised as to where these funds have been spent as it was never approved or debated in Parliament.
