I do not wish upon anyone, even Anwar himself, the position that DSAI is now in.
The consensus amongst Malaysians today is that all those who are against BN, are in the Opposition. Not just PH but anybody, any party not with BN, is the Opposition. DSAI is the leader of the Opposition, and yet he is not leading the Opposition.
DSAI is not the acknowledged leader of all those who is against BN.....is he? Who now has the moral authority over the Opposition to take leadership of them. There is Shafie Apdal, Muhyiddin, Hamzah, Hadi, Tun. Mahathir and also DSAI. Who can lead the Opposition?
And, is DSAI really in opposition to BN?
That is now being questioned by many.
Is DSAI in cahoots with BN? With Zahid Hamidi, President of UMNO, to be precise - a liaison dating back to the days when DSAI was in Umno. Was it not Zahid Hamidi who promised DSAI the strong, formidable, and convincing majority needed to take over the PN government in September 2020....but alas that came to naught.
Are they in cahoots and plotting similar shenanigans in the lead-up to PRU15 - maybe even a post-PRU15 coalition? But even if DSAi is thinking of such a collusion, he still has to get Rafifzi's agreement to do so. Is that possible given the stand Rafizi has taken in exposing the corruption and wrongdoings of the BN government?
That all this is being discussed and talked about amongst many in Bolehland, is indicative that all is not well between the electorates and DSAI.
What should have been a 'THEM' (BN) vs 'US' (Pakatan Harapan) match up in PRU15, has now splintered into 'THEM ' vs PH.... PN.... and PAS and any other worthy opposition factions who are now becoming more relevant by the day as polling day nears.
And what of PKR of which DSAI is president? Being president today does not mean you will continue to be president dalam masa yang terdekat.
In the last party election, the long MIA (missing in action) Rafizi Ramli and his men took control of PKR lock stock, and barrel. By the next party election, the president's post is Rafizi's to take, if he so desires. This is the reality staring DSAI in the face today in PKR. To stay relevant in PKR, DSAI must secure a bigger prize than the presidency of PKR - that of prime minister of Malaysia, after PRU15. Possible?
For DSAI the sum of all his deeds in the past is now catching up with him. Many, who came into PKR with or after him, have left. Some left quietly, some left acrimoniously, some in anger bent on taking their pound of flesh from DSAI - for whatever reason. So, for this man of considerable talent and stature, maybe, PRU15 will either be his final triumph or his Waterloo.
Today, DSAI announced that he will cut the salaries of ministers. I have heard that before. How does that help the people? That’s a populist statement. DSAI is good at making populist statements. It's time he takes stock of the situation around him and makes some solid decisions about his own future.
Enough said.
It's really time to tell the voters that what each individual or political party will deliver not bad mouth their opponents ! 😰
The run up to the PRU15 has been positive with jailing of Merpati, events surrounding BeeEnd Prez and mediocre performance of recent cabinet.
PH (PKR & ...) should have taken this opportunity to strengthen up for PRU15 and rally the voters around. As a voter, I have yet to see any ground-breaking plans. Going with the same ol/repackaged plan but expecting a different outcome is NOT a plan. I doubt they will win every seat they will contest
PH should learn from past mistakes, improvise and use creativity and ingenuity to come up with a win-win coalition and plans. More importantly, the action plans and promises have to be deliverable...not just omong kosong. Otherwise, move aside as you have reached…
Anwar is a Jack of all trade but unfortunately the Master of none! He really doesn't have the git not the wisdom or foresight in what is priority and what is best for its people or nation. In his case, his bend on a one track mind, die die to become PM. Unfortunately, he's been given but alas he's just not meant to be. If he's smart and right thinking man, one really doesn't have to be the Top or on Top, one can be a King Maker that stands as a Great Man. Not a wannabe! It's truly sad to see, so many Politicians in their self centerness do not understand the meaning of fighting the right cause. Like…
Anwar should announce immediately that being pm is not his immediate priority.making sure the country is safe from BN is.
As such,he is seeking cooperation with tun m and pn to work together and unite the public to fight against them.
This electoral pack has a strong chance to win. given that ph will likely carry 90 seats,Anwar still get to be PM no 10.
Be artful maestro!
