Following yesterday’s events where Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had left the palace following his joint audience with Yang di-Pertuan Agong (YDPA) Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, alongside Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the former had left the scene refusing to speak to media personnel stationed outside.
During their audience with YDPA, His Highness shared his desire for a unity government, something Muhyiddin refuses to accept.
In a press conference later yesterday, he doubled down on his stance that he will not work with Pakatan Harapan (PH).
He said, “Because it is said that there is not one that has a sufficient number (for a simple majority), Tuanku suggested that we (Perikatan Nasional – PN) work together with PH, Pakatan Harapan, to form a unity government. Unity government, kerajaan perpaduan or what la,”
“But we have discussed it since earlier on, we will not work together with PH, Pakatan Harapan. That is our party’s stance to this day. For whatever purpose, for unity or for whatever, we decided that we do not agree,” he said.
This didn’t sit well with many who believe that he is disrespecting the Agong’s request for unity, and that he is putting his party’s principles above the best interest of the people.
“Ego. Putting your personal interests above the people. If you think that you are right, that you are strong in governing and have done it and shown that you can, don’t give face. In this case, you haven’t done anything and are just saying that only you are right. The truth is that you are weak.”
“What is the purpose of becoming a PM? Even for the sake of unity you do not want to unite. You really just want to divide the people, right? Not worthy to be appointed as the PM!”
“So egotistical. It’s obvious that he wants to be a government for the sake of their own people. He doesn’t care what will happen to the people. The Agong has made a suggestion, you just follow la.”
“Even rejecting the request of the Agong who wants racial unity?? Who the h*ll is he? Bigger than the Agong? If this is the case, you make your own government la, you can be the Agong and you can be the Minister. Easier that way.”
Honestly, after the chaotic few years that we’ve had, unity and peace sounds like heaven.
