“It is Hobson’s choice that Muhyiddin will forge some sort of a working relationship with Anyone But Anwar Ibrahim (ABAI), including people from camp Mahathir and many PKR fence sitters who’re disillusioned with Anwar”

The DAP has finally come to its senses and can see clearly that being with Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim means Pakatan Harapan will never be able to stage a comeback, not in a million years.
Some time back, when I did a series detailing the various options (then) available to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, I kept saying the biggest loser in any attempt by any cabal to collapse government would be the DAP.
And that turned out to be true.
Today, you can see that the DAP has no choice but to stick with AMANAH – the proxy it created – and PKR Members of Parliament aligned with Anwar.
There is nowhere else for the DAP to run – not only will PPBM will never re-align itself with Anwar, people like Lim Kit Siang and Lim Guan Eng know that the reason many Members of Parliament from PPBM agreed to leave Pakatan Harapan in the first place had to do with them wanting to kill Anwar’s premiership ambitions.
Anyway, the Perikatan Nasional coalition is about to crumble. The reason for this is something I’ve explained to some extent via the article “Towards GE15 – it’s sooner than you think,” the link to which is provided below (must read).
Tan Sri Muhyiddin is without a doubt exploring his options along with a group of PPBM MPs and will never re-align himself with Anwar, and, for that matter, Lim Kit Siang or Lim Guan Eng.
Guan Eng, on the other hand, has made it clear that the DAP does not mind working with Mahathir and has no qualms should the latter return as Prime Minister and not include the DAP in government.
It is therefore Hobson’s choice that Muhyiddin will forge some sort of a working relationship with Anyone But Anwar Ibrahim (ABAI), including people from camp Mahathir and many PKR fence sitters who’ve since become disillusioned with Anwar.
As for Datuk Seri Azmin Ali, he has no choice but to go crawling back to Mahathir as he has lost ground in PKR and lacks grassroots support in PPBM.
Actually, communication between several MPs from PPBM and camp Mahathir has long begun, even before the Movement Control Order came into effect.
So it is a no brainer where this is all headed, though I will do part seven of my “Komplot Tumbangkan Kerajaan Muhyiddin” soon (part six is below) to detail the varous options available to Muhyiddin, including the possibility of him working with Anwar and how that will turn out.
Suffice to say, the DAP and AMANAH can and will ditch Anwar at a moment’s notice along with some PKR MPs should Mahathir sound the alarm and enter an agreement with Muhyiddin and Azmin.
As per the Malay-Muslims, you can bet your last dollar that Muafakat Nasional will lose 10-15 per cent of its ground when it becomes clear to the moderates that the whole mess in Perikatan Nasional was triggered by a cabal within UMNO.
On the 14thof April 2020, I wrote:
“With Muhyiddin emerging as hero and with the PPBM-PAS-UMNO ‘alliance’ being a step closer towards “penyatuan ummah secara menyeluruh,” should the government collapse and should the cabal refuse to compromise with PPBM on seat allocations (to the extent that PPBM leaves Perikatan), it would be akin to burning 15 – 18 per cent of Muafakat Nasional’s votes, maybe even 20.
“Think I’m kidding? Time will tell…
“I don’t need to remind you how little a swing in the Malay-Muslim vote it took to shift the pendulum towards Pakatan Harapan.
“And let’s not forget that in politics, it is the element of shock that allows an incident or event to be ingrained in the minds of voters for a very, very long time.
“Towards GE14, the ‘shock’ factor was the claim that billions were being ‘robbed’ from this place or that place while the commoner was made to ‘suffer’ due to GST.
“Towards GE15, the ‘shock’ will be the realisation that a cabal of very greedy and ambitious politicians tried to backstab a man who brought them back to power, contributed towards the DAP’s ouster and ‘saved’ millions of Malaysians from Covid-19.
“If PPBM turns its back on Perikatan National as a result, and if the DAP agrees to field more Malays and tells Lim Guan Eng, Lim Kit Siang, Ong Kian Ming, Tony Pua, Teressa Kok and Nga Kor Ming to “stay at home,” you can bet your last dollar that Pakatan Harapan will make a comeback as PPBM tightens its grip on Johor (Muhyiddin’s territory) and expands existing strongholds.”
So to everyone (from both sides), don’t be too overconfident and take things a step at a time. There is so much undercurrent and a lot many do not know.
The 15th general election is anytime between the day the MCO is lifted and the year end, and things can go either way.
Take my word for it.
To be continued…
