Abdul Hadi: No party can stop PN to topple unity govt

KUALA LUMPUR: No parties would be able to stop Perikatan Nasional's (PN) plans to topple the unity government, said Pas president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang.

The Marang member of parliament said politics was dynamic, and such practice was considered normal in a democratic country.

"This is normal in a democratic country (such as Malaysia). We try to not only (form a government) through general elections, but also through parliament.

"This includes the no-vote confidence, statutory declarations and supporters withdrawing their support.

"We have the right to plan and no one can stop us to plan (on toppling the unity government)," he said when met by reporters at the Parliament lobby, today.

Hadi said this when asked to comment on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's statement that Hadi was "dreaming" to see the current government collapsing.

Anwar also said Hadi had the right to hope that the unity government would end.

Meanwhile, Hadi added that the King's decree did not have the "power" to prevent change from happening in a democratic country.

"It is a decree, (however) it does not become the final word to prevent change from happening in a democratic country. We still uphold democracy based on our constitutional monarchy."

Commenting further, he also hinted that the allegations against those who were not satisfied with Anwar's administration, were true.

"We also see signs that there is some dissatisfaction among component parties in the unity government. This is why there is a possibility of a change in government."

Previously, Hadi had cautioned the government to not point fingers at the opposition should the government collapse again.

He said the current government should put the blame on its own flaws and weaknesses instead.
