YESTERDAY (July 2), Johor UMNO deputy liaison chief Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed fired a salvo at PAS ministers, accusing them of being failures.
The former Pulai MP added that PAS ministers’ lacklustre performance was dragging Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob down.
“They only want the posts but lack the will to do the job. Ultimately, the prime minister has to bear all responsibility in running the country.
‘The PAS ministers have no clue on how to do the work but act as if they are better than European leaders,” Utusan Online reported him as saying.
However, netizens were unimpressed with the UMNO leader pinning the administration’s failure on PAS alone and called him out for his nit-picking.
User Saya Izharullica said:
(Then why not sack them? You fear the Government will fall, isn’t it? The truth is UMNO is talking smack about PAS because they fear the Islamist party. What a coward)
Echoing his sentiments, user Zaki Sidik added:
(Every minister from UMNO and Bersatu are also getting paid for doing nothing. Why not mention them too?)
Netizen Pak Lang retorted:
(Better for one to look in the mirror before talking smack about others)
On June 22, Nur Jazlan even criticised Ismail Sabri, calling him the “weakest’ prime minister in the nation’s history for failing to announce a new plantation and commodities minister.
Sore loser talking?
The former deputy minister added that it was clearly shown when the prime minister had yet to announce it despite its minister, Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin having left Bersatu weeks before.
However, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin lashed out at Nur Jazlan for being disrespectful and urged the latter to use proper channel to voice his disgruntlement.
On that note, several netizens reminded Nur Jazlan that he was rejected by his own parliamentary constituents in the last general election, urging him to do some self-reflection before talking about others.
User Sheikh Amizal mocked:
(Nur Jazlan is so “great” that Pulai voters rejected him. Now, he is stuck with the moniker “former MP”)
Netizen Azzmi Ahmad remarked:
(Nur Jazlan, perhaps you are “too intelligent” that Pulai voters rejected you. Please keep your stupidity to yourself, in terms of judging others. Perhaps, the PAS leaders have better cognitive skills than you) – July 3, 2022
