Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak on Friday said Dr Maszlee Malik’s resignation as Education Minister was a clear reflection of the mess within the Pakatan Harapan government.

He claimed Maszlee was asked to step down due to internal and external pressure.

Najib spoke to reporters during his walkabout in Membakut, Sabah to pitch support for Barisan Nasional’s candidate Mohamad Alamin on the eve of Kimanis nomination day.
