KUALA LUMPUR: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia has dismissed claims that opposition Perikatan Nasional coalition has the numbers in the Lower House to challenge Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.According to The Star, Bersatu information chief Razali Idris noted on Sunday that there have been claims that his party has enough Members of Parliament on its side to overthrow Mr Anwar and his unity government. However, this was not a statement made by Bersatu’s leadership, he added.
“It's difficult for the opposition to bring down the government with those sort of numbers. Only if the opposition leader makes a statement that we have the numbers should Anwar dare us to show proof.” Mr Razali, however, reportedly said that the Bersatu MPs have no plans to submit a motion of confidence against Mr Anwar in the coming parliamentary meeting. Bersatu is a component party of PN.According to The Star, Parliament Speaker Johari Abdul said last Friday that no MP had submitted a request to table a motion of confidence in the coming meeting after the deadline ended at 5pm that day.
Local media recently reported on talk that opposition leader Mr Hamzah has clinched enough statutory declarations from MPs backing him as the next prime minister.
