DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke has described PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang’s statement on Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) plan to topple the unity government as irresponsible.

Loke, who is also transport minister, said the move clearly shows that PN does not respect the formation of the government, which was proposed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, based on the Federal Constitution.

“This attitude shows that the PN leadership has nothing better to do than to plan to overthrow the government or seize power through the back door,” he told reporters after the announcement of AirAsia’s additional flights at fixed fares in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri in Sepang today.

“They should respect the process that was carried out following the need for a stable government after the results of the 15th general election, which was with the consent of His Majesty.”

Yesterday, Hadi was reported to have said PN has the right to plan and no one can stop the coalition from toppling the government as this is a democratic country.

Loke said the government led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim was formed last November to create political stability and bring about economic growth.

“The unity government has a national development agenda that must be focused on every day to ensure that the set targets are achieved,” said the Seremban MP. – Bernama, March 7, 2023.
