Fahmi: PAS' Tuan Ibrahim defying Johor Sultan by warning of Putrajaya's instability should state polls favour Perikatan

PETALING JAYA, June 20 — Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil has today chided PAS deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man after the latter’s remarks about how Putrajaya will allegedly face a rift if the outcome of state elections leans towards Perikatan Nasional (PN).

He said that the statement from Tuan Ibrahim was ignorant and defied the Johor Sultan’s decree on protecting the stability of the federal government.

“The Sultan of Johor has said, that it’s [politicking]. As an elderly, senior party leader, it’s not nice for him to say that, unless Tuan Ibrahim intends to disobey the decree.

“After all, some leaders have also said before, I repeat, this is state elections, any decision in the state elections will not affect any seats at the federal level,” he told reporters here.

He was referring to Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar’s statement last month to preserve the current federal administration and focus on governance.

Sultan Ibrahim had said that attempts to destabilise the Malaysian government must stop for the sake of the country and its citizens, and expressed concern over “incessant reports” about the current federal government’s stability.

The Johor ruler said Malaysians already voted for 222 federal lawmakers in GE15 with hopes of restoring Malaysia’s political stability, but there were still unhealthy efforts to thwart this.

Fahmi was responding to an article by the Islamist party’s mouthpiece Harakah quoting Tuan Ibrahim, where the latter claimed that the state elections this time is unique because the federal administration is likely to fall if PN manages to snatch Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, while defending Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu.

The minister said that he will not hesitate to take stern action against anyone who threatens the country’s political stability.

Following GE15 where no single coalition garnered a simple majority of votes, a unity government was formed under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim with multiple parties and coalitions such as Pakatan Harapan, Barisan Nasional, Gabungan Parti Sarawak and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah.

In March, PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang had said the federal Opposition bloc has a “right” to plan ways to topple the government, whether by pushing for a no-confidence vote against the prime minister or enticing elected representatives to defect.

Furthermore in May, Anwar acknowledged there were plots to destabilise his government, but said the parties in the unity government were committed to serving Malaysians and not to such alleged plots to topple the government.
