KUALA LUMPUR, March 31  — Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today said all Cabinet ministers from UMNO would continue to remain in the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prime minister said the consensus was reached when the ministers concerned met him last Monday (March 29) to seek his advice on their position in the PN government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cI have advised them to remain in the cabinet. This takes into account the interests of the people and the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Alhamdulillah, on my advice, a consensus was reached that all UMNO ministers will continue to remain in the cabinet,” he said in a statement here today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muhyiddin said currently, the government’s main focus was to fight COVID-19, implement the\u00a0national immunisation programme and revive the country’s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several ministers from UMNO are holding important portfolios that are concern with the government\u2019s current focus in fighting COVID-19 and restoring the country\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Therefore, I do not want their resignation from the cabinet to affect all government plans to address the COVID-19 problem and restore the country’s economy,” said Muhyiddin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Monday, the ministers from UMNO held a meeting with the Prime Minister following a motion at the UMNO 2020 General Assembly to cut off political cooperation with Bersatu in the 15th General Election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, UMNO president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the motion to cut off political cooperation with Bersatu was unanimously agreed by the party delegates at the assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the annual assembly, UMNO  also approved the motion that the 42 UMNO and Barisan Nasional (BN) MPs will not be with the PN government when Parliament is dissolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
