Muhyiddin Says He Will Resign As MPN Head If The Public Wants Him To
In response to UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s claim that the MPN is no longer applicable now that the government has established a special committee to wage jihad on rising prices, Muhyiddin Yassin, chairman of the National Recovery Council (MPN), has stated that he is willing to step down if necessary.
However, he will only do so at the request of the public, namely Malaysian citizens.
Jihad, meaning “holy struggle”, in this context refers to the strain faced by locals daily in the midst of inflation.
The “jihad task force” headed by communications and multimedia minister Annuar Musa is seeking a balance between supply and demand in domestic markets.
Zahid stated on Thursday (June 30) that the initiation of the special committee to combat inflation implied that the MPN was no longer functional, vital, or connected with Putrajaya’s most latest mission to assist the public.
