00:00A former MP and a DAP leader have criticised UMNO President Ahmad Zaid Hamidi for claiming
00:10to be the mastermind behind Dr Mohamad stepping down as Prime Minister in 2020.
00:17Former Bataling Jaya MP Maria Chin Abdullah said the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan government,
00:22known as the Sheraton Move, had cost the nation and denied Malaysians their democratic right.
00:29She said Malaysians voted to change the government, hoping it would bring about a better Malaysia,
00:34but those hopes were dashed by greed for power.
00:38She added that if there was any need for political change, to do it through the ballot box or
00:43call for a referendum.
00:45Zaid, who is also a Deputy Prime Minister, claimed he masterminded Mahathir's resignation
00:51to prevent UMNO from being deregistered as a political party.
00:55Meanwhile, a DAP leader who did not want to be named said it was a despicable act to overthrow
01:01an elected government to protect a political party's interests.
01:05He claimed that Zaid's actions circumvented the democratic process and created instability,
01:11despite the majority of people opting to boot out BN from the federal government in the
01:16May 2018 general election.
