Khalid: Guan Eng offered to step down as minister for sake of Malay support

KUALA LUMPUR, March 6 — Parti Amanah Negara communications director Khalid Abdul Samad has revealed that DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng was willing to give up his post as finance minister leading up to the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government.

Sinar Harian reported him as saying that Lim agreed to be dropped from Cabinet, so as to avoid being seen as the cause of Malay rejection towards PH. 

This apparently took place during the negotiations for then-interim prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to be nominated for the role for a third time, and presented to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

“DAP told Tun that it did not matter, because of us the Malays cannot accept (PH) and lessening the number of DAP ministers would also be fine,” Khalid was quoted as saying during the Shah Alam Pakatan Activists’ meeting at Dewan Meranti in Seksyen 19 last night.

He added that Lim’s willingness to resign as finance minister should be seen as the type of politics to be admired.

“This is politics which places the nation first and foremost, prioritising the rakyat,” Khalid said.

The Shah Alam MP also said PH component parties have been advised to not point fingers at one another as to why the coalition collapsed as the federal government. 

He explicitly mentioned that Dr Mahathir and PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim were not guilty in this respect.

“Rather it is (former economic affairs minister) Datuk Seri Azmin Ali who should be viewed as the mastermind behind all this, and who is fit to be called a seditious traitor. 

“He incited (Tan Sri) Muhyiddin Yassin, who was originally very loyal towards Tun. We were brought down not by the rakyat, but by traitors and bandits,” he was quoted as saying.

Khalid said PH will continue to ask for an audience with the Agong, so as to prove that it really has majority support from among the MPs.

He added that PH is also ready to take legal action to declare Perikatan Nasional as a government which lacks the rakyat’s mandate and majority support.

An Eng is not good in Finance. He is not even a qualified Accountant. For goodness sake, he shouldn't be Finance Minister.

Guan Eng should be MACC chief so that he can prosecute to corrupt people.Since he is an accountant he should be able to detect irregularities in the account etc and money laundering cases.LOL

Malay unity govt can be achieved by bersatu running back to PH and forming a govt comprising of;

1. Muhiddin- PM
2. Anwar- DPM
3. Mahathir- Senior Minister PM dept
4. Rafizi/zeti- Finance Minister
5. Mat sabu- Internal Minister
6. Nurul Anwar- Education Minister

Dap should not accept any cabinet post but should be a back benchers govt pro party in charge of ombudsmen appointment and parliament reformed so that can keep all malay unity govt in check for the benefit of all malaysian loh....!!

A president council comprising all the supporting parties like bersatu, pkr, amanah, dap and warisan should be appointed to oversee and balance the power of PM so that we will never fall back to dictator regime loh...!! This president council should be headed by shafie abdal of warisan loh....!! The President council will oversee the appointment of the quality of cabinet minister loh...!!

This all malay cabinet team plus Daps as umpire should serve well for malaysia until next general election loh...!!

With Muhiddin run back & anwar as DPM that will reinforce PH & bring back confidence loh...!!

They should be a racial & religous harmony law and anti hopping law loh...!!

Sosma will be abolished loh....!!

MA63 will be honored but the monetary payout to sabah & Sarawak will be incremental increase over 8 years until it achieve target loh...!!
