Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo told reporters on November 12 that the unity government's leadership should not be questioned, and those unhappy with it should step down from the administration instead of pressuring the prime minister to call an early election. Gobind rebuked Deputy Prime Minister and Umno President Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for suggesting dissolving Parliament as an alternative to a Cabinet reshuffle.
Gobind stated that focusing on strengthening the economy was more important than discussing dissolution, highlighting Malaysia's attractiveness to investors. He urged Umno and Barisan Nasional to resign from the unity government if they lacked confidence in the leadership, emphasizing that Cabinet members are collectively responsible for decisions and should respect the prime minister's position.
The Digital Minister's comments came amid speculation of a Cabinet reshuffle, following Anthony Loke's resignation and the upcoming end of Amir Hamzah's Senate term, which has drawn objections from other government leaders.
