UMNO Youth Chief Challenges PM to Remove UMNO MPs from Cabinet if BN Lacks Role

UMNO Youth chief Dr. Akmal Saleh has issued a direct challenge to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. Saleh called for the dismissal of all UMNO Members of Parliament currently serving in the Cabinet. He posed this demand if the Prime Minister believes Barisan Nasional (BN) holds no significant role in the current government, which was formed following the 15th General Election.

Saleh's statement was a direct response to a challenge posed by Mohd. Kamil Munim, the chief of Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK). The specifics of Munim's challenge were not detailed, but Saleh's reaction indicates a strong defense of UMNO's position and contribution within the ruling coalition.

The call to remove UMNO MPs from the Cabinet highlights internal political tensions and questions about the coalition's stability and power-sharing dynamics. Saleh's assertive stance signals UMNO Youth's determination to assert the party's relevance and influence in national politics.
