Perikatan may pull out of govt after PM cancels last-ditch meeting


PETALING JAYA: Perikatan Nasional may pull out from the government in protest over the Prime Minister’s reluctance to honour the agreement to appoint a deputy prime minister (DPM) from Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia.

Frustration within the Perikatan leadership has reached boiling point after a meeting with Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob scheduled to take place at 2.30pm on Thursday (4 Aug) was suddenly cancelled the night before by the Prime Minister’s Office.
