Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has announced that he will also helm the education portfolio.
Following this, Gerakan Youth issued a "friendly reminder" to him on Pakatan Harapan's promise in its manifesto for the 14th general election.
This was in reference to “Promise 12: Limit the Prime Minister's term of office and restructure the Prime Minister's Department.”
On this matter, the manifesto states: “The prime minister will not simultaneously hold other ministerial posts, especially the post of minister of finance.”
In pointing this out, Gerakan Youth chief Tang Keng Liang said he wanted to ensure that Mahathir does not make a mistake.
"Hi Tun M (Mahathir). I thought it was a promise by Harapan that PM won't be holding any other ministry role. That would include education ministry. Just a friendly reminder!
"I just want to make sure Tun M won't make a mistake. Perhaps oversight. Still can turn back now before swearing in as education minister on Monday," Tang wrote on Twitter.
