BN has lost confidence of its own ministers

Najib's government suffers more setbacks as his ministers' credibility are questioned by his own men

Datuk Mohamad Aziz (BN-Sri Gading) says he will neither retract nor apologise for his criticisms on Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon.

"I won’t take back what I said, I did not do anything wrong with my statement (in Parliament last week). People are asking me to ask for forgiveness? What, are Umno and Malays only qualified for apologising?" he told reporters in Parliament lobby today.

Last week, Mohamad urged Koh to resign and questioned his appointment as Minister in the Prime Minister's Department overseeing the Key Performance Index (KPI), alleging Koh had failed to perform.

"How can you take care of KPI when you yourself didn't show good KPI? Your subordinates will have no confidence in you. So, how can you be effective as the minister in charge?" he said.

Mohamad also accused Koh of being an "apple polisher" for turning up in Parliament only when the prime minister was around, besides being a Senator through the "back door" to be appointed as minister.
