00:00Perikatan National Chairman Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar may struggle if elevated to the premiership,
00:06as he has yet to undergo the full range of political tests expected of a national leader,
00:12says an UMNO MP.
00:14Hampin MP Issam Issa said Samsuri, the Turinga Numentri Besar, is often perceived as a capable
00:20technocrat who has successfully transitioned into politics.
00:24However, he told FMT that the past Vice President has yet to face public scrutiny as a national leader,
00:31especially one said to have the makings of a Prime Minister.
00:55And what can bring all the people in Malaysia is the same.
00:59I haven't seen them yet.
01:01But the PMX has been tested as well, from the UMNO, from the outside of the UMNO,
01:07and now in the Kerajaan Perpaduan.
01:10Meanwhile, Shah Alam MP, Azli Yusof, questioned whether Samsuri's leadership approach would
01:15translate effectively at the national level, particularly when it comes to performance economic.
01:44The UMNO MP also said the country needs leaders who are capable of combining Islamic values
01:50with competence and the ability to work across communities.
01:55Narumtha Bhaja, FMT.
