All the possible permutation, association, coalition, alliance, bloc, combination, confederation, and possible conspiracies being schemed, seem to be covered by the utterances of various factions, political parties, and individuals in these last few weeks.
I am told only the Prime minister can instruct...oppss sorry...only the prime minister can megadap Mr. King and seek his kebijaksanaan to call or not to call a general election.
So really, when all is said and done, Mr King aka Dollah has the final say!
Man o man that is one big stick that Dollah is wielding if he decides to negotiate the timing of PRU15 with anyone...and by anyone I mean anyone...Ismail Sabri, Zahid Hamidi, his good friend Najib Razak....nudge nudge wink wink, ...or maybe even the Opposition.
Dollah made himself some big bucks when he first refused and then agreed, to the declaration of the Covid EMERGENCY when "the guy who is confused about his name" (Muhyiddin or Mahiaddin) was prime minister.
Not to mention that it was Dollah too, who made the "decision" to appoint "the guy who is confused about his name" as prime minister after Tun Mahathir resigned!
How he came to make the decision when "the guy who is confused about his name" did NOT have the numbers to claim government is for Dollah to explain. Maybe Dollah's maths is not that good, maybe he did not have his glasses on and could not see any other list but the one he wanted to see. Or maybe CASH IS REALLY KING"...anything is possible....but we know who became prime minister when he should not have become prime minister kan?
Today we are all talking about the timing of PRU15. The mind boggles just thinking about what Mr. King can make by just saying "YES" or "NO" to an election date suggested by the prime minister or by anyone else. Mr. Kings's cup truly runneth over kan!
I suggest we should all stop trying to second guess what Dollah will or will not do in the coming months before he packs his bags and head back to Pahang to be Sultan again.
Why?
Because Cash is really King, and you have to be a King to get the Cash.
Under the federal constitution,PM ismail sabri have to get approval from BN cabinet ministers( kj,hishammuddin,annuar musa,shahidan kassim,tg zafrul,mahadhir khalid) and all of PN cabinet ministers before he can seek audience with the King to dissolve the parliament. Since many of his cabinet members are away(azmin for instance is already in japan to attend abe' funeral and thereafter off to turkiye to meet president erdogan) it doesn' t appear the cabinet will vote soon. 😻🇲🇾
