KUCHING: As Covid-19 cases continue to rise, Tan Sri James Masing calls on Umno politicians to back Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin until the 15th General Election (GE15) is due in 2023.
The Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister said now was not the right time to hold snap polls as daily Covid-19 numbers remained high in Peninsular Malaysia. What Umno MPs should do now is to give Muhyiddin full support until GE15. Then let those who wish to administer Malaysia seek the mandate of the people to be the administrator of this nation, he said Thursday (Jan 7).
