KUALA LUMPUR – The 12 Ministers from Perikatan Nasional (PN) who are begging for the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to reject the proposal for the 15th General Election (GE15) to be held this year are "desperate political frogs.”
Such was the scorn from Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi following news of said ministers sending a letter to the Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah over the matter.
"Among them are frogs. They are very worried of the election because they know they will be punished by their voters.
"They became traitors because they hunger for political power, titles, and positions. Those who became ministers realized that their likelihood of winning is very thin.
"And so, they are desperately clinging to their power, trying their best to delay elections for fear of defeat,” said Zahid in a statement today.
Talk of dissolution of Parliament in order to pave the way for GE15 became ever so loud on last Friday after Umno unilaterally called for it after the meeting of its upper echelons.
Today, in his weekly routine briefing to the Agong, the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob is expected to discuss over the feasibility of having GE15 against the backdrop of the coming monsoon season.
