In PETALING JAYA, several Perikatan Nasional leaders have dismissed the idea of a “Dubai Move” allegedly organized by certain Opposition leaders and government representatives to overthrow the unity government led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Tasek Gelugor MP Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan from Perikatan stated that if the unity government was solid, it should not be concerned about such a move. He also criticized Anwar’s ability to govern and encouraged him to focus on creating a clear narrative and vision for his administration.
Wan Saiful was responding to comments made by the Community Communications Department deputy director (community communications) Datuk Ismail Yusop, who alleged that the “Dubai move” was discussed during a recent vacation of Perikatan leaders, including government officials, in the United Arab Emirates. Ismail claimed that the meeting aimed to assign tasks to “agents” responsible for identifying MPs who might switch support to the Opposition to establish a “backdoor” government.
In addition to the Perikatan leaders, Ismail also claimed the involvement of influential veteran political figures and “Tuns,” who were allegedly conspiring with the Opposition and using “foreign sources” to overthrow Anwar’s administration.
Bersatu information chief Datuk Razali Idris also rejected the allegations, stating that he has no information on the incident and that the matter was not discussed by any of the Opposition MPs, especially those from Bersatu.
