Awang Azman said several Umno leaders are also unhappy at failing to secure several important Cabinet posts, in the new Cabinet line-up Sabah Umno chief Bung Moktar Radin who was not appointed a minister lamented that Sabah Umno was not represented in the Cabinet. Former Johor Menteri Besar Khaled Nordin has also reminded Perikatan Nasional that they are not just passengers in the new government.
“If such feelings continue, they could push for snap elections” he said. “If they survive the first year together, they will then face head-on as they fight for seats in the general election,” he added.“This arrangement may last at least for a year. As for now, they will be together. That’s because they share the same common enemy, DAP, which will keep Umno and PPBM together,” he told FMT.Kamarul Zaman added that the recent grouses by Umno senior leaders will not have any serious repercussions.
