SALLEH: If the opposition does not harp on this same old issue then they really have nothing else to use.
Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin appears to be bankrupt of issues, hence the need for him to keep talking about matters that are no longer of interest to most Malaysians, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak.
"When is Muhyiddin going to accept the fact that the matter of 1MDB and the donation from the Middle East have already been clarified more than once and is now a matter that is closed?" he said on his blogsite sskeruak.blogspot.my.
Salleh said the former deputy prime minister was trying to create the perception that the matter was still outstanding as a means to distract Malaysians from the fact that the opposition was in a mess and had lost quite a lot of ground.
"The fact remains that if the opposition does not harp on this same old issue then they really have nothing else to use," he said.
The minister said they insisted that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak reply to the allegations against him but then when he did they ignored these responses and acted as if nothing had been replied.
"What's wrong with these people and what more do they expect?" he said in the piece in response to Muhyiddin's latest allegations against the prime minister.
Salleh said surely Muhyiddin had realised by now that those issues were not the instruments that could oust the prime minister.
"If they were, then Najib would have been out of office by now and Barisan Nasional would not have performed well in the recent Sarawak state election and the twin by-elections in Sungai Besar and Kuala Kangsar," he said.
