  • UMNO Youth chief Akmal Saleh urged DAP's Nga Kor Ming to fulfill his promise to resign after Barisan Nasional's significant victory in the Johor state election.
  • Nga Kor Ming had pledged to be the first to resign if BN won over 40 seats and Najib Razak was freed, with BN securing 48 out of 56 seats.
  • Akmal Saleh offered to help Nga Kor Ming draft his resignation letter, highlighting BN's strong performance against Pakatan Harapan and Perikatan Nasional.

UMNO Youth chief Akmal Saleh has called on DAP leader Nga Kor Ming to honor his pledge to resign following Barisan Nasional's (BN) decisive win in the Johor state election. Saleh publicly offered to assist Nga in drafting his resignation letter, a move that underscores the political tension following the election results.

BN secured a landslide victory, winning 48 out of 56 state seats, significantly surpassing the 40-seat target Nga Kor Ming had set as a condition for his resignation. This outcome also saw Pakatan Harapan reduced to just eight seats, while Perikatan Nasional failed to win any seats.

Nga Kor Ming had previously stated he would be the first to step down if BN exceeded 40 seats in the Johor polls and if Najib Razak was released. BN's strong performance not only met but exceeded this threshold, solidifying their control over the state government.
