DEPUTY Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi described the “Dubai Move” as a failure today as the federal government led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has the support of 150 parliamentarians.

The Umno president also took some political party leaders to task, saying they should be thinking about ways to bring prosperity to the people.

“I think that it (Dubai Move) will not happen as we have 150 MPs supporting the unity government. I think those who have grand dreams of becoming prime minister or want their party to elevate someone to premiership shouldn’t waste people’s time.

“Malaysians are sick of this and have learnt from the past three people who became prime minister,” he told reporters after visiting flood evacuees sheltering at SK Taman Kota Jaya, Kota Tinggi, yesterday, adding that attention should be given to encourage more investments and generate economic growth to create more jobs and reduce unemployment and inflation.

“There is a positive change in foreign investor confidence. I want to see politicians who are supposedly loyal to the country champion the prime minister’s efforts.

“Don’t shake that confidence by claiming the government is going to collapse. The people are sick of this. If you want to talk about toppling the government, wait till the general election,” he said in response to questions about an opposition leader claiming that their coalition had obtained enough statutory declarations to topple the government. – Bernama, January 10, 2024.
