He said that the consensus did not involve all BN MPs, adding that if there were discussions among elected representatives from the coalition, it only involved those with certain “interests”.

“This is not a question of posts or positions, we must think about the party’s honour.

“What’s the point of having big posts and high positions when the party is being weakened by others at the same time?

“I don’t know if there is a statement on BN MPs willing to support the government of the day because I was not invited for discussions.

“To me, I decided not to support Perikatan Nasional (PN), I will not go back on my decision,” he told FMT.

However, Jazlan conceded that he would follow the party’s decision to back or reject a no-confidence motion if it is tabled.

“We will follow whatever the party decides,” he said.

Jazlan had withdrawn support for the PN government back in January, before the Emergency was even proclaimed. He also resigned as chairman of the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) after being in that position for eight months.

On Wednesday, BN and Umno MPs said they would not support a no-confidence motion against Muhyiddin, should it be tabled, adding that the Parliament sitting should focus on the issues the people were struggling with amid the pandemic.

Meanwhile, former prime minister Najib Razak had said the question of a no-confidence motion was a non-issue because Dewan Rakyat speaker Azhar Azizan Harun would not allow it.
