Can a caretaker Prime Minister sack any of his caretaker Ministers from his caretaker Cabinet?
Posted by Kit in Constitution, GE15, Ismail Sabri on Thursday, 20 October 2022
The Prime Minister, Ismail Sabri, has presented Malaysians with an intriguing question: Can a caretaker Prime Minister sack any of his caretaker Ministers from his caretaker Cabinet?
This came about when Ismail said he should have sacked the 12 ministers from Perikatan Nasional (PN) over their letter to the King objecting to the dissolution of Parliament and the caretaker special functions minister Dr Abdul Latiff Ahmad retorted: “We are still members of the caretaker cabinet. It is not too late to be sacked. Perhaps the ninth prime minister can create history by sacking a cabinet member during ‘injury time’.” Read the rest of this entry »
The caretaker Prime Minister is undermining the constitutional position of the Attorney-General by instructing him to prosecute the former Attorney-General Tommy Thomas
Posted by Kit in Constitution, Ismail Sabri, Judiciary on Wednesday, 19 October 2022
The caretaker Prime Minister, Ismail Sabri, is undermining the constitutional position of the Attorney-General by instructing him to prosecute the former Attorney-General Tommy Thomas with regard to his book, “My Story: Justice in the Wilderness”.
Ismail Sabri is bringing justice in Malaysia back into the wilderness by instructing the Attorney-General to prosecute Tommy Thomas when under Article 145(3) of the Constitution, the Attorney General “shall have power, exercisable at his discretion, to institute, conduct or discontinue any proceedings for an offence, other than proceedings before a Syariah court, a native court or a court-martial”.

Will Parliament be dissolved tomorrow or day after?
Posted by Kit in Elections, Ismail Sabri on Wednesday, 5 October 2022
The single question engrossing the minds of Malaysia is not whether Malaysia is on the precipice of facing the greatest monsoon and floods disaster because of climate change, likely to cause more than 54 human lives and property damage of some RM6.5 billion as last year, or the economic crisis faced by Malaysians because of increase of food prices and depreciation of the ringgit, or the tabling of the 2023 Budget on Friday, but whether Parliament will be dissolved tomorrow or day after.
I will be surprised if Parliament is dissolved tomorrow or Friday, for it will mean that we have a Prime Minister who has not only served the shortest tenure of 14 months, but the most irresponsible Prime Minister in the nation’s history who has abdicated his responsibility to Malaysians to help them weather the worst monsoon and floods season in history and to cushion them from the economic crisis of rising prices and depreciation of the ringgit.

Will the 15GE be about Najib or the nation – whether he should be pardoned and freed without expressing regret for the monstrous mega RM50 billion 1MDB scandal or whether Malaysia must break away from the trajectory of a kleptocracy to become a world-class great nation?
Posted by Kit in Ismail Sabri, Najib Razak, Parliament on Thursday, 1 September 2022
The Prime Minister Ismail Sabri said the decision whether he as the Prime Minister or Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz will present the 2023 Budget to the Dewan Rakyat on Oct 7 has yet to be made.
He said he is checking whether it is allowed according to the constitution and legislation for the Prime Minister to table next year’s budget himself and waiting for the Attorney-General’s advice. Read the rest of this entry »
Disappointed that Cabinet had not set up a RCI into RM9 billion LSC scandal yesterday but calls on Ismail Sabri to declassify the report of Council of Eminent Persons and to convene a Special Parliamentary Session on Corruption
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Defence, Ismail Sabri on Thursday, 25 August 2022
Malaysians are disappointed that the Cabinet has not set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the RM9 billion littoral combat ships (LCS) scandal yesterday.
Former Prime Minister and Bersatu President, Muhyiddin Yassin, said the fight against corruption doesn’t end with former Prime Minister Najib Razak being sent to jail, but it is regrettable that the nine Bersatu Ministers in the Cabinet were not prepared to live up to the Bersatu President’s words by pressing for the establishment of a RCI into the LCS scandal.

Is the Ismail Sabri government launching a cyberwarfare against its own people?
Posted by Kit in Ismail Sabri, IT, Law & Order on Saturday, 6 August 2022
There has been thunderous silence for the last 24 hours from the Ismail Sabri government to the serious allegation by the tech giant Meta in its Quarterly Adversarial Threat Report which claimed that close to 1,000 Facebook and Instagram accounts as well as Facebook groups and pages have been removed for violating the platforms’ policy against coordinated inauthentic behaviour.
Meta said: “Such behaviour can be defined as the coordinated use of fake accounts to manipulate public debate for a strategic goal.” Read the rest of this entry »
Prime Minister to be asked a Ministerial question tomorrow whether Idris Ahmad’s position on the Oktoberfest is the government’s official position, and if so, when the Cabinet took the decision
Posted by Kit in Ismail Sabri, Religion on Wednesday, 3 August 2022
I have given notice to ask the Prime Minister, Ismail Sabri, a Ministerial question in Parliament tomorrow whether the position on the Oktoberfest as reflected in Idris Ahmad’s reply in Parliament last month was the Ismail Sabri government’s official position, and if so, when the Cabinet took the decision.
The question for Ismail Sabri’s answer during Ministerial question time is:

Time to debunk the sea of lies, fake news and false information which had been polluting the political arena in the last few years
Posted by Kit in DAP, Ismail Sabri, PH Government on Tuesday, 2 August 2022
The time has come to debunk the sea of lies, fake news and false allegations which had been polluting the political arena in the last few years.
The Prime Minister, Ismail Sabri tried to justify the Sheraton Move conspiracy at the Selangor Barisan Nasional convention on Sunday when he justified the Sheraton Move which unconstitutionally and undemocratically toppled the elected Pakatan Harapan government after 22 months on the grounds of DAP dominance in the Pakatan Harapan government.

The Ismail Sabri government has violated the nation-building principles and policies of the nation’s founding fathers as enunciated in the Malaysian Constitution and Rukun Negara by claiming that it is now opposed to Octoberfest.
This is not the policy of the government fo 65 years. Read the rest of this entry »
Why is the Prime Minister not taking the lead in the war against corruption?
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Ismail Sabri on Wednesday, 15 June 2022
The Yang di Pertuan Agong is taking the lead in the war against corruption.
He said yesterday that all religions denounced corruption, as it is a cancer that can ruin civilisations.
UMNO wants the 15th General Election to be held in November but will Ismail Sabri be a copycat of Mahathir?
Posted by Kit in Ismail Sabri on Wednesday, 15 June 2022
UMNO Deputy President, Mohamad Hasan wants the 15th General Election to be held in November – after the 2023 Budget is presented in Parliament on Friday, October 28, 2022 but without a full parliamentary debate or passage of the 2023 Budget by both Houses of Parliament and the giving of the Royal Assent.
This would be most irresponsible.

Ismail Sabri should countermand the directive of the Chief Secretary to the government to the PSD to punish civil servants for using English
Posted by Kit in Ismail Sabri on Sunday, 29 May 2022
The Prime Minister, Ismail Sabri should explain why he is promoting British luxury brand like the RM5,500 Burberry shirt while punishing civil servants for using
English.
I agree with G25, a group of influential Malays, and the former Minister for International Trade and Industry (Miti), Rafidah Aziz who criticised the Chief Secretary to the government, Mohd Zuki Ali, for his call to the Public Services Department to consider corrective and punitive measures to enforce the use of Bahasa Malaysia in the civil service and other government-related agencies including GLCs (government-linked companies).

Ismail Sabri cannot decide whether Zuraida should go as a Minister although he has no problem with wearing a RM5,500-shirt when meeting Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in Tokyo
Posted by Kit in Ismail Sabri on Saturday, 28 May 2022
The Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob cannot decide whether Zuraida Kamaruddin should go as Minister for Plantation Industries and Commodities although he has no problem with wearing a RM5,500-shirt when meeting the Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in Tokyo.
Zuraida announced her resignation from Bersatu for Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) from Turkey two days ago, and Bersatu President Muhyddin Yassin immediately said that he will submit the name of a candidate for the plantation industries and commodities minister position to Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Is there no response whatsoever from Prime Minister Ismail Sabri to the devastating TI CPI 2021 where Malaysia dropped five points in score and 11 points in rank in two years – the worst two years in TI CPI in the last 27 years since 1995
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Ismail Sabri on Friday, 11 February 2022
Is there no response whatsoever from Prime Minister Ismail Sabri to the devastating Transparency International (TI) Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2021 where Malaysia dropped five points in score and 11 points in rank in two years – the worst two years in TI CPI in the last 27 years since 1995?
It is two weeks since the release of the devastating TI CPI 2021 for Malaysia but Ismail has not uttered a single word.
Is he not surprised and shocked by the TI CPI 2021?

I commend the Prime Minister, Ismail Sabri for ensuring that the problem of national shuttlers Lee Zii Jia and Goh Jin Wei were speedily resolved with the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) lifting of the two-year sanction on them from international tournaments with immediate effect.
The Youth and Sports Minister Ahmad Faizal Azumu should also be recognised for his intervention. Read the rest of this entry »
When can Prime Minister Ismail Sabri catch up with Malaysians who are now worried about the swirling scandal involving the MACC Chief Commissioner Azam Baki while he is still only seemingly concerned about the floods disasters last month
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Ismail Sabri, nation building on Friday, 21 January 2022
When can the Prime Minister Ismail Sabri catch up with Malaysians who are now worried about the swirling scandal involving the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner Azam Baki while he is still only seemingly concerned about the floods disasters last month.
The one-day Special Parliament on the floods disasters yesterday did not prove that Ismail is really concerned about the floods disasters, because he did not return to Parliament in the winding up of the Special Parliament yesterday. Read the rest of this entry »
Ismail Sabri is the most slow-witted Prime Minister and surrounded by the worst advisers in the nation’s history but is he seriously suggesting that Azam is presently the best example of integrity and accountability in the public service?
Posted by Kit in Ismail Sabri on Thursday, 20 January 2022
After I sat through the Prime Minister Ismail Sabri’s presentation of the recent floods disasters in the Special Session of Parliament this morning, I was seized by two thoughts:
Firstly, complete absence of reference to “climate change” as an important factor in the recent “once-in-a-century” floods disasters, which was one of the two factors which caused them – the other being man-made conditions like corruption, abuses of power and sheer incompetence pre-and-post the floods disasters.
Secondly, we have the ninth Prime Minister who is always several steps behind events, when he should be more prescient, more proactive and on top of events than reactive to or trodden by events.

Azam-gate may lead to 15th General Election to be held after the Chinese New Year – and not just Johore state general election
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Ismail Sabri, Parliament on Tuesday, 18 January 2022
There is much speculation as to whether Johore state general election will be held after the Chinese New Year.
The possibility of a Johore state general election being held after the Chinese New Year cannot be ruled out as it is an open secret that after the Malacca and Sarawak state general elections, UMNO leaders are pressing for the 15th General Election to be held as early as possible and a Johore state general election will be a form of pressure by the UMNO leaders on Prime Minister Ismail Sabri to dissolve Parliament as soon as possible to hold the 15th General Election.

Prime Minister Ismail Sabri should not allow a parliamentary paralysis and schedule Thursday 27th January for Special Parliament to discuss Azam-gate
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Ismail Sabri, Parliament on Monday, 17 January 2022
The Prime Minister, Ismail Sabri should not allow a parliamentary paralysis and schedule Thursday 27th January for a Special Parliament to discuss Azam-gate as Parliament cannot allow anyone, even if he is the MACC Chief Commissioner, to hold it to ransom from deciding important national questions.
Many issues on Azam-gate happened today.
First, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Chairman Wong Kah Woh rightly challenged the position of the Speaker, Azahar Azizan Harun that the Parliamentary Special Select Committee on Agencies under the Prime Minister’s Department cannot be open to the public and the media under the Dewan Rakyat Standing Orders except on one point. Then the MP for Teluk Intan, Nga Kor Ming, submitted an emergency motion to Parliament to debate Azam-gate. Read the rest of this entry »

Ismail Sabri has a last chance to salvage his premiership from becoming a kakistocracy.
On Wednesday, he must get his Cabinet to decide to terminate the appointment of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner, Azam Baki, if Azam is not prepared to appear before the Parliamentary Special Select Committee (PSCC) on Agencies in the Prime Minister’s Department to clear his conflict-of-interest allegations.
