KUALA LUMPUR – All parties should stop arguing over the label of the new federal government led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa. 

He said the focus now should be on helping the people and creating political stability so that everything on the government’s agenda, such as the National Recovery Plan, can continue.

He said all parties need to understand that the government of today is based on the consensus of MPs who do not want the political uncertainty that existed before this to drag on to the point where it would affect people’s lives. 

“If we let the nation be trapped in political uncertainties, long-drawn politics and uncertainties within the government, the people will lose.

“And that is why I say the best way is not to dwell on the issue (labelling the new government); (now), we focus on the people,” the Ketereh MP said when asked on comments by several political leaders from Bersatu and Umno who have differing views on what the new government should be labelled. 

He was speaking to reporters at the Malam Kasih Merdeka programme here last night organised by Rumah Prihatin@Hotel Grand Seasons in conjunction with the 64th National Day. With him was Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim. – Bernama, August 31, 2021
