Umno secretary-general Ahmad Maslan described the action of 12 ministers from Perikatan Nasional (PN) in sending a letter to the King to express their objection against any move to hold the 15th general election (GE15) this year as inappropriate.

He also claimed the move by Bersatu and PAS ministers indirectly showed they had no confidence in the leadership of Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
