Yes, one certainly can’t deny that the two statesmen aren’t exactly best friends. In fact, it’s no secret that their relationship has been mostly rocky the past few decades. These meetings have caused some concern and uneasiness — could the unthinkable be possible, that Anwar is negotiating a deal with Muhyiddin in his bid to recapture Putrajaya and resurrect Harapan? What is his agenda for meeting some of the key architects responsible for engineering Harapan’s downfall?
Given that Anwar has remained tight-lipped about what transpired during those meetings, one can only speculate. However, speculations alone bring us nowhere. Moreover, PKR vice president Chang Lih Kang has come forth to allay fears of PKR backdealing with PN and reassured its allies that any arrangements are always subject to Harapan’s unanimous approval.
The reality is this — both PN and Harapan have been scrambling to obtain enough numbers to secure a strong parliamentary majority. Therefore, Anwar meeting various PN and Sarawak state leaders shouldn’t strike us as something suspicious as Harapan simply doesn’t have sufficient support at the moment.
