عزمين علي دعوا مشوارت ڤن هاري اين ‘بياسا’

International Trade and Industry Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali has sought to play down the significance of today’s meeting of Perikatan Nasional (PN) leaders at a prominent hotel in the capital, saying it was a “normal” gathering.

Prime Minister Muhyiddn Yassin was joined by ministers and Perikatan Nasional (PN) leaders from about 12.20pm. The discussions were believed to centred around Budget 2021, which will be tabled on Friday.

The PN coalition has a thin majority in Parliament and there has been intense speculation that MPs might vote against the budget, which would automatically lead to the resignation of Muhyiddin and his Cabinet and pave the way for a general election.

Among the party leaders who were present at the meeting included Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, transport minister and MCA president Wee Ka Siong, MIC president S Vigneswaran and PBS president Maximus Ongkili.

“It’s just a normal pre-council among the chief whips,” said Azmin after the meeting ended.
