SEREMBAN – Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s intention to call for the 15th general election (GE15) after the Covid-19 pandemic is over is deemed as the right decision to get a new mandate from the people.
Umno deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said the slim majority held by the government is often questioned by many, and this situation is not good.
“The government shouldn’t think so much about politics. Winning and losing is normal because it is the people who will decide.
“The people have realised that a government with a slim majority will not benefit them. The prime minister’s intention is good… to me, it’s good to get the mandate from the people, not due to pressure,” he told reporters here today.
On Saturday, Muhyiddin, who is Bersatu president, said GE15 will be held after the pandemic has ended.
Meanwhile, Mohamad declined to comment on the issue that the deputy prime minister’s post should be held by an Umno leader.
“The president (Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi) has made a statement on this. It should be enough.” – Bernama, November 30, 2020
