Ramkarpal warns Harapan cannot risk further erosion of support and wants a clear timeframe for PM transition, among others.

As the head of government, Dr Mahathir Mohamad must take responsibility for Pakatan Harapan's defeat in five by-elections, including Kimanis in Sabah over the weekend, said a DAP lawmaker.

“This certainly does not inspire confidence in Harapan's commitment to real reforms, the platform on which, it achieved the impossible in GE14 by defeating BN after 61 years in power,” he added in a statement this afternoon.and cited how he chose to work with DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang for the good of the nation.

“See, I don't hold it against him . If we can do something that is good, I will work with him. But Najib, I don't think he can do anything good because he broke the law [...] I think he will have to pay a high price for stealing government money,” he added.Meanwhile, Ramkarpal said while he agreed that infighting in Harapan must cease, other issues must be addressed as well such as the transition of power.

Ramkarpal also referred to former Bersih chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan's statement that Mahathir might be the sole Harapan leader to have read the Institutional Reform Committee report, of which she is a member.
