KUALA LUMPUR – Former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob described the huge responsibility entrusted to him to manage Malaysia during tough times as a great honour.
The Bera MP, in a Facebook post, also thanked all quarters and apologised for any mistake that he may have made during his tenure.
Ismail Sabri expressed hope that the fight against Covid-19 will remain a priority for all.
“Let us pray that Malaysia will continue to prosper, and enjoy peace and harmony.”
His post comes after Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced his resignation as head of government, just 17 months after taking over as the eighth prime minister to lead the country.
Muhyiddin, in a special announcement on television today, also announced the resignation of his 29-member cabinet, including Ismail Sabri.
The Umno vice-president was sworn in as defence minister on March 10 last year, before being appointed as deputy prime minister on July 7. – Bernama, August 16, 2021
