KUALA LUMPUR: Pakatan Harapan chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has yet to receive any feedback from Melaka DAP regarding its decision to withdraw support for the Melaka government.
The Prime Minister also said the matter would be followed up soon with the DAP top leadership in Melaka.
“No, no, not yet. We will follow up soon on the matter,” he told reporters on Wednesday (July 15) when asked whether he had been in contact with Melaka DAP over the matter.
Melaka DAP on Tuesday (July 14) announced immediate withdrawal from the state government after the Melaka State Legislative Assembly passed amendments to the State Constitution to allow for the appointment of nominated assemblymen.
The four assemblymen are Allex Seah Shoo Chin (PH-Kesidang), Low Chee Leong (PH-Kota Laksamana), Leng Chau Yen (PH-Banda Hilir) and Kerk Chee Yee (PH-Ayer Keroh).
However, the sole Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) assemblyman, Adly Zahari (PH-Bukit Katil), who is also Melaka Pakatan Harapan chairman, remains seated with the government bloc, separate from the four DAP assemblymen.
On Tuesday, Anwar urged Melaka DAP to postpone the decision so that the focus can remain on development and the people's welfare.
Melaka DAP chairman Khoo Poay Tiong said the decision was in line with the party's stand in opposing the bill, which it claimed was contrary to the principles of democracy and elections.
