ALOR SETAR, April 17 – MCA deputy president Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong has called on all quarters not to pressure Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir to state his stand on the Prime Minister’s leadership. He said he did not see this issue as a crisis in Mukhriz’s leadership in the state and Umno. “I’m confident that Mukhriz has his wisdom in this matter. “If he said he’ll issue his statement on April 24, then wait for his statement,” he told a press conference here Friday after officiating a seminar for the northern region Village Security and Development Committee.

He stressed that Mukhriz has always been a loyal party man and would make a wise decision. Dr Wee said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has solid backing from the grassroots. He was commenting on pressure from certain quarters for Mukhriz to state his stand, after Mukhriz’s father, former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, criticised Najib’s leadership and urged him to step down.
