‘This is rich. A man with five MPs saying he'll cut ties with a man with 38 MPs.’
Instead of sincerely looking at the concerns of the rakyat, addressing the issues, and exploring a win-win formula, including power-sharing to appoint cabinet members and other major decisions, Dr Mahathir Mohamad resorts to issuing ultimatums.
A compromise would be for Anwar to be PM and for him to be minister mentor perhaps with special functions - looking after the economy or education and the minister in charge of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation . Power and position are his agenda and has remained so all his political life. He used whatever means to stay in his position until current Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin beat him at his own game.If we look back at GE14, yes, Mahathir brought in the votes through Bersatu and it was successful. Now looking at the present, I have been asking the Malays I meet and sadly, none of them wants Anwar as PM.
Even the 13 seats marginally won by Bersatu was due to such monolithic Chinese support, and not due to the meagre Malay votes secured by Bersatu.interview that the only objective of his current political pursuit is to become PM again, irrespective of the means of achieving it, and seemingly to the exclusion of everything else, including its relations with Harapan.
And for this reason, you should be nowhere near Harapan. You don't want to be PM to right what is wrong for the people. You want to be PM for yourself, to serve your own agenda, whatever that is.Due to the racial politics played by irresponsible politicians in our land, the Malay grassroots I got to touch base with have sadly returned to safeguarding the position of their race and religion.
Getting rid of PN and installing Mahathir will not bring meaningful change. Anwar is probably aware of this, that attaining the PM-ship will not last. Not enough Malays are ready for change. Until they are, the nation rots, slow and subtle the ‘Mahathir way’, or fast and furious the ‘PN’ way.
