Harapan friendly fire continues; Anwar calls for immediate truce

KINI ROUNDUP | Here are the key headlines you may have missed yesterday, in brief.

Harapan friendly fire continues

Friendly fire in Pakatan Harapan continued after Bersatu Youth chief Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman shot back at P Ramasamy over DAP Youth's call for Education Minister Maszlee Malik to resign.

DAP Youth retaliated with their own criticism of Syed Saddiq, while PKR Youth took aim at Bersatu chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

DAP lawmaker Ramkarpal Singh also took a swing at Syed Saddiq, saying that blaming de facto unity minister P Waythamoorthy over the Seafield temple riots was akin to blaming the youth and sports minister for Malaysia's loss at the AFF Suzuki Cup finals.

Mahathir stalwart Khairuddin Abu Hassan also claimed there is a plot to undermine the prime minister, while taking a swipe at Kedah PKR chief Johari Abdul.

Anwar calls for immediate truce

Pakatan Harapan de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim called for an immediate end to the friendly fire in the coalition.

DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang said Harapan leaders must get approval from their parties before criticising other leaders.

Meanwhile, DAP senator Liew Chin Tong said Harapan needs to come up with a narrative that can unite the people for a national purpose.

Former finance minister Daim Zainuddin said the government needs to stop repeating its narrative about the country's debt and start focusing on fulfilling its election promises.
