But I’m still here and the government is functioning as usual.” These were the words of Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali when asked on speculation that the UMNO-led state government could fall anytime. Sulaiman declined to comment further on the rumours, saying such talk was common in politics. Since Friday rumours have swirled that the UMNO-led state government, which came into power after Perikatan Nasional took over the state administration from Pakatan Harapan (PH) in March, could change hands again soon. There were claims that four state assemblymen have signed SDs to switch allegiance to PH, which may cause the UMNO-led government to fall.
