Refuting PAS leader, PM Ismail Sabri says Umno-led govt stable due to historic MoU with Pakatan

BY SHAHRIN AIZAT NOORSHAHRIZAM

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 13, 2022 —

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob today touted his federal administration as an example of a stable government led by Umno, contrary to the recent assertion by PAS election director Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor.

Ismail Sabri, a vice-president in Umno, proclaimed that his administration has political stability thanks to the unprecedented Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the country’s largest Opposition coalition, Pakatan Harapan (PH) last year.

“Even now, Umno is in the government and I’m a prime minister from Umno that is being supported by allies from other parties.

“And we have a stable government as it was the first time in the history of this country that an MoU has been signed between the government and the Opposition. That has never happened before.

“This proves that the country is in a stable condition and this should not be an issue. And what has been said by Kedah MB was not true,” he told reporters at the government’s Keluarga Malaysia Chinese New Year reception held at the Kuala Lumpur Hilton Hotel here.

Ismail Sabri was commenting on Muhammad Sanusi’s remarks yesterday. The PAS leader who is also Kedah mentri besar claimed that Malaysia can only achieve political stability without Umno.

Yesterday, Malay daily Sinar Harian reported Sanusi saying that Malaysia had yet to achieve political stability because Barisan Nasional (BN) was given the chance to be in power again.

He claimed that any state assembly where Umno was in a kingmaker position would be dissolved to pave the way for fresh elections and cited the state polls in Melaka and Johor last year as his basis.

Sanusi said for Malaysia to achieve stability, the government needed to be based on consensus but added that Umno is seen as the party that triggers disputes with its allies.

National news agency Bernama also reported yesterday that Ismail Sabri had described Johor as a state with great potential to make greater progress if there is political stability.

To do that, he said it was important that BN secures victory in the Johor state election on March 12.

Umno held a one-seat majority in the Johor assembly prior to its dissolution on January 22.

PETALING JAYA:

The online commercial vehicle licensing system (ISPKP) that will be rolled out by the Land Public Transport Agency (Apad) this year will lead to a better customer experience, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

He said that the new system, which will replace the existing licensing system, which is 20 years old, will make it easier for the public to deal with Apad in the future, he said in a statement on Facebook after visiting the APAD southern region office at Menara Cyberport Johor Bahru on Saturday (Feb 12).

During his visit, he was briefed by the senior assistant director of the commercial licensing division Mohd Lutfi Ahmad on the operation of Apad southern region which also includes the states of Johor and Melaka.

"The Apad southern region office receives about 2,800 visitors and around 3,000 permit and license applications every month.

"I also had the opportunity to meet some visitors at this office and I found that on average, they are satisfied with the services provided.

"Well done and congratulations to Apad southern region," said Dr Wee.

He also reminded Apad to continue providing the best service to the public, especially to public transport operators as they are facing difficult times due to the Covid-19 pandemic and are in need of support and assistance.

Apad's incoming online commercial vehicle licensing system will increase customer satisfaction, says Dr Wee | The Star
