DAP elder: Minister betrayed his oath to serve all the people
FMT
KUALA LUMPUR: Agriculture minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob should be dismissed from the Cabinet if he does not withdraw his recent remark about a consumer boycott of Chinese-owned businesses, DAP elder Lim Kit Siang said today.
He said Ismail Sabri had betrayed his ministerial oath of office to serve all Malaysians regardless of race, religion or region.
Kit Siang questioned prime minister Najib Razak for seeming to sanction Ismail Sabri’s statement and said it showed up Najib as the weakest of Malaysia’s six prime ministers. No other prime minister before him would have stood by such a statement, he said.
He noted that even Mahathir Mohamad had disapproved by pointing out that prices had nothing to do with ethnicity.
Lim said the rest of the 34 ministers in the Cabinet had also betrayed their oaths of office by “defending the indefensible”.
He said Ismail Sabri should be sacked, either by the prime minister or by the rest of the ministers adopting a Cabinet resolution.
