MCA president Wee Ka Siong says there are doubts about whether Dr Mahathir Mohamad will hand over power to Anwar Ibrahim.
Wee Ka Siong believes the next general election will be held long before Pakatan Harapan’s mandate expires in 2023.
“If Anwar is to be PM, why doesn’t Mahathir make him deputy prime minister?” said Wee, pointing out that in 2003, Mahathir, then BN chairman, had named his deputy, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, as his successor, allowing Abdullah at least a year to prepare for the role. “The leadership succession plan needs to be made clear if there is to be peace and stability in the country.”“In some countries, once a successor receives the baton from his predecessor, he will call for elections to ensure he has a fresh mandate. In other cases, in case of a dispute, the leader may leave it to the people at fresh elections, as he would have nothing to lose,” he said.
“You are no longer the opposition leader or a backbench MP who can make statements without consequences: in the government, you have to be accountable with whatever you say and provide the data and figures to back it up,” said Wee. Wee said PH had made some laudable efforts, such as reform of Parliament, and the reservation of the Public Accounts Committee chairman’s post for an opposition MP.
