KUALA LUMPUR, Mar 10 — The Perikatan Nasional government has no clear direction for the country’s future as it had no manifesto before entering power, necessitating a discussion on the matter in the first Cabinet meeting tomorrow. Newly-minted Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah said the new Cabinet will meet in the morning with Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, to decide either to take a holistic approach as a government or set their plans in clusters.
“This is a Cabinet that was borne without a manifesto. There’s good and bad to it as one, we’re not tied to anything but two, people are asking what are we planning to do,” Saifuddin said today during an interview with state broadcaster RTM1. “The PM will call all the ministers and their deputies tomorrow to have intensive discussion with all party leadership for us to put forth our plans and policies for the future.”
