JOHOR BARU: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin should move on and stop making references to “court clusters”, says Umno vice president Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
The former Johor mentri besar said Muhyiddin had claimed that the only way to stop the “court cluster” from coming back to power was to defeat Barisan Nasional in the Johor state election.
“Muhyiddin continues to be shackled by ‘court clusters’ – a term he himself coined – while the whole country has moved far ahead and is seeking stability, reviving the economy and creating a future,” he said in a Facebook post here on Saturday (Feb 12).
The “court cluster” references several Umno leaders facing graft charges in court, which includes Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as well as former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Mohamed Khaled claimed Bersatu’s involvement in the Johor state election was only to oppose the “court cluster” and that the party had no concrete plans for the future and fresh ambitions.
Mohamed Khaled said the main thing for the people of Johor was to find a stable government that can revive the economy.
He claimed that Muhyiddin, who is Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president, was facing the biggest crisis in his political journey after losing support as prime minister, losing in Melaka, failing to gain a foothold in Sarawak, failing in his efforts to attract cooperation with Umno and only having PAS as a backup.
“Day by day, more and more Bersatu leaders and members are leaving the party.
“His vendetta against Umno is haunting Bersatu again. Everything is his own creation, not someone else’s,” he added.
