We’ll sack Muhyiddin, says Dr M
“Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has made many mistakes”
(The Star) – Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia wants to sack Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin from the party but that it would be done in a proper way.
“When we want to sack him, we will have a proper sitting of the Supreme Council,” he told a press conference at the party headquarters yesterday.
He had been asked if they would want to sack Muhyiddin for taking Bersatu out of Pakatan with the Supreme Council’s approval.
When asked if he would meet Muhyiddin, who is Bersatu president, to settle their differences, Dr Mahathir said that he was told that Muhyiddin was being quarantined.
“Somebody with Covid-19 was near. Must be less than one metre. So now he is not able to see anybody for 14 days,” he said sarcastically. Dr Mahathir, who was given termination letters by the executive secretary Kapt (R) Muhammad Suhaimi Yahya, along with four other former party leaders and MPs, said that he came to the Bersatu headquarters here to discuss the letter.
“Suhaimi said that he will meet me but then he said he is waiting for Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin but both did not turn up.
“I did not expect to do this press conference and then I was told that Hamzah was holding a PC at another place.
“The executive secretary seems to be more powerful than me as the chairman and his work is actually just wiping and arranging tables for meetings.
“I now sack Suhaimi and appoint Datuk Shazmi Miah from Bersatu Kelantan to replace him as the new executive secretary.
