Kuala Lumpur: Umno leader Ahmad Zahid Hamidi urges PM TS Muhyiddin Yassin to resign amid the scandal over the termination of the emergency ordinances without the King’s consent.
Zahid’s statement comes after Istana Negara delivered a rebuke against Muhyiddin’s government.
“Umno will ask Muhyiddin Yassin and (de facto Law Minister) Takiyuddin Hassan to resign respectfully.
“Umno MPs must carry out the supreme council’s decision on July 7 to withdraw support for Muhyiddin as the prime minister.
“This decision is also to fulfil the oath of office of every MP that requires loyalty to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and to defend and uphold the Federal Constitution at all times,” Zahid says.
