Don’t forget you were behind Sheraton Move, Puad tells Muhyiddin

PETALING JAYA: A senior Umno leader has reminded Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin that he led the forces that caused the fall of the Pakatan Harapan government in the Sheraton Move, asking if this meant that the former prime minister can be considered evil (jahat).

“Former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin has accused Umno of being evil for causing the fall of its own government in Melaka.

“So does this mean he was also evil in causing the fall of PH last year via the Sheraton Move? Obviously, he did that because he wanted to become the prime minister,” Umno Supreme Council member Puad Zarkashi said in a Facebook post today.

Puad said similarly, it was former chief minister Idris Haron who colluded with PKR to topple the Melaka government as he had been promised his former position, but the plan backfired when the assembly was dissolved.

“It’s obvious that it was PKR which was behind the fall of the Barisan Nasional government in Melaka and not Umno,” he said.

He was commenting on Muhyiddin’s warning yesterday to Umno veteran Shahrir Samad not to test him about triggering a state election in Johor.

Shahrir, the former Johor Bahru MP, had dared Muhyiddin to withdraw support for the Umno-led Johor government, a move that would lead to the fall of the state government and trigger an election.

Muhyiddin responded by saying that he was not scared and could do it the very next day if he wanted to.

“But I will not do it because I do not want to repeat what Melaka is enduring right now by having a state election,” he said.

Puad said Muhyiddin had better remember there was the possibility that Bersatu may not win a single seat in Johor if a state election is called.

Meanwhile, Shahrir, in his response, said Muhyiddin should remember that Johor has its own constitution and a Ruler who has a say in the dissolution of the state assembly to call for a fresh election.

“You cannot dissolve the assembly with a press of a button. The procedures are spelt out clearly and the head of state has a role in the decision,” he said in his Facebook post today.
