BUKIT MERTAJAM:
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has issued a veiled threat to those trying to topple the government.

“Don’t sabotage (the government).

“We have given (you) room and if (you) try to interfere, we will act accordingly without compromise,” he said at an Aidilfitri open house at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Penang here.

He said he was fed up with constant rumours of plots to bring down the unity government and called on such parties to table a motion of no confidence against him in the next Dewan Rakyat sitting in two weeks.

This follows reports that a group of Barisan Nasional (BN) MPs was said to be involved in a plot with Perikatan Nasional (PN) to bring down the current government.

FMT previously reported that 10 MPs from BN intended to force by-elections by quitting their parties.

The 10 had initially backed PN chairman Muhyiddin Yassin after the 15th general election resulted in a hung Parliament where no coalition had enough seats to form the government on its own.
