Colossal defeat in Tg Piai demands reshuffling head of cabinet, Ezam tells Dr M
Former senator Ezam Mohd Nor has dismissed Pakatan Harapan's post-mortem of its bludgeoning in the recent Tanjung Piai by-election.
Reiterating his call for Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad to step down, he reminded the coalition that it was defeated in the polls by a colossal 15,000 votes.
According to Exam, the post-mortem was carried out as if Harapan lost the parliament seat in Johor by a mere 500 votes.
“There is a big difference between losing and winning by 500 and 15,000 votes... This is not an ordinary defeat, it is an extraordinary defeat,” he added in a statement this afternoon.
Ezam also described the proposal to reshuffle the cabinet in response to the Tanjung Piai outcome as ineffective in reversing Harapan's political fortunes.
“A cabinet reshuffle is not something extraordinary, it is an ordinary thing.
“In the case of the Harapan government, the cabinet reshuffle should have happened a long time ago without having to wait for the message from Tanjung Piai.
He should not think of himself as indispensable. For 22 long years he has helmed M'sia yet our economy cannot be on par with S'pore and Taiwan. Disunity among all races is rife. Cronyism is the name of the game. Bailouts of GLCs rampant. Do US ALL a fovour and RESIGN and have a good time or whats left of it with your family and enjoy!
