PETALING JAYA: The recent withdrawal of the four state assemblypersons (Adun) from the Malacca state government has sparked a political crisis in the state, jeopardising the nationâs Covid-19 recovery efforts.
Saying this, Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong(pix) pointed out that Malaysians are sick and tired of political games.
âWe should instead be engaging in constructive politics to strengthen our position and rebuild the peopleâs trust in our political system,â he said in a statement today.
âThe past two years have clearly shown that unethical political manoeuvring and party-hopping would only cause further political instability and problems to our country. We should have learned the lesson from âLangkah Sheratonâ and âLangkah Sabahâ. Now, we can add this so-called âLangkah Melakaâ to the list.
âThere have been several discussions at various levels on this so-called âLangkah Melakaâ in the past week. In the discussions that I was part of, I have stated to my colleagues and party leaders that we should not be associated with the four Aduns, or worse still, support one of them to be the chief minister.â
Khoo said he is against any form of party-hopping, whether directly or indirectly, by any elected representative for his or her own political interest.
âTo the people of Malacca â I hope we will not give up on our state and country. Politics is no easy task, but it is necessary to continue standing up, voicing out, and fighting for change,â he added.
