Will it be a unity government or an alliance between PM Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s party, Umno and the Opposition Pakatan Harapan?
The talks are on, sources say, but let’s look at what DAPs Anthony Loke said yesterday in a webinar in which he says, “There is nothing to stop them dragging it until the end of this term in June 2023, and we are OK with it.”
That is the MoU could be extended beyond July 31 next year and while not wanting to take away the powers to dissolve the parliament from the PM, Loke would not mind if Sabri were to stay PM until the end of this parliamentary term in 2023.
“This is because we do not take away the power to dissolve Parliament from the prime minister. But what we ask for is just his commitment not to dissolve Parliament before July 31. So if he wants more time, if he wants to wait until the end of the term, so be it,” Loke added.
