PH leaders seek meeting with Ismail on MoU after RM100 million reveal

Pakatan Harapan (PH) leaders plan to meet Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob next week to discuss the memorandum of understanding it signed with the federal government.

DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said this followed the issue of the RM100 million “gift” to former prime minister Najib Razak which was raised in the Dewan Rakyat during the winding-up session of the Supply Bill 2022 at the policy level by Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz yesterday.

“(I) have already discussed with Anwar Ibrahim and Mohamad Sabu yesterday. The three of us agreed that the matter is not in line with the MoU we signed with the federal government.

“The three of us have decided to ask for a meeting with the prime minister to discuss the matter,” he told a press conference in Melaka today.

To the possibility of Perikatan Nasional, Barisan Nasional and PH failing to get a majority in the Melaka state election and being unable to form a government, Lim said PH would discuss with its component parties before making any decisions.

Tomorrow is polling day for the Melaka state election, which was called following the dissolution of the Melaka state assembly on Oct 4 after four assemblymen withdrew their support for the leadership of Melaka Chief Minister Sulaiman Md Ali.
