Ronnie Liu warns DAP not to deal with the Devil

Malaysiakini:

Mahathir could dump Harapan and destroy its credibility, claims Ronnie Liu

DAP's Sungai Pelek assemblyperson Ronnie Liu has voiced his objections to the idea of Pakatan Harapan choosing former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad as its prime ministerial candidate, as has been mooted in negotiations within the coalition.

In a Facebook post early this morning, Liu said he was worried that Mahathir might use the position of Harapan prime ministerial candidate as a bargaining chip to negotiate with his former ally and current Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.

"He may gang up with Muhyiddin and Azmin Ali again if the offers are good and dump Haparan," claimed Liu who has a history of criticising Mahathir and was even referred to his party's disciplinary committee last year after publishing a piece called “Mahathir: The Paper Tiger”.

Liu (photo) also questioned if Mahathir had the ability to get enough numbers among sitting MPs and said that if he failed to do so, Harapan would risk losing all its credibility as a political coalition.

He also wondered aloud if the Yang di-Pertuan Agong would be willing to see Mahathir even if he did have the numbers.

"Even if Mahathir becomes prime minister, he may create new problems or even scandals to make life difficult for Anwar and other Harapan leaders again.

"He may go back to his old ways again and Anwar as the deputy prime minister will find it difficult to stop him," Liu added.

Presently, Liu's party DAP is supporting Mahathir’s bid to be prime minister again for the so-called “Pakatan Hapan Plus” coalition after failing to convince Warisan to nominate an Anwar Ibrahim-Mukhriz Mahathir combination for the top two positions.

"Mahathir may not want to step down after six months as promised and may again refuse to pass the prime minister position to Anwar.

"He may resign and walk out of Harapan again. Or he may just dissolve Parliament," said Liu.

Liu also cautioned that even having an agreement of Mahathir and Anwar as prime minister and deputy prime minister candidates could trigger Muhyiddin to call for snap elections.

At the Malay Dignity Congress to which he invited PAS and UMNO, Mahathir described non-Malay citizens as 'orang asing' (foreigners)

Only Ramkarpal Singh has the guts to tell Mahathir off for such an overt piece of racism by a Harapan PM, whilst KHAT-aSS and Chye-Chye kept kuai kuai in subservient suck-his-dick silence

Personal viewpoints :

I could think of 7 risks or scenarios if tun m is made pm designate of ph ...

1. He may use this position as bargaining chips to negotiate with muhyuddin. He may gang up with muhyiddin and AA again if the offers are good and dump ph.

2. Tun m may not be able to make the numbers to become pm after all said and done . PH will risk losing all its credibility as a political coalition.

3. Even if tun m finally finds the numbers, ydp Agong may not want to see him.

4. Even if tun m becomes pm, he may create new problems or even scandals to make life difficult for anwar and other ph leaders again.

5. Tun m may go back to his old way again and anwar as the dpm will find it difficult to stop him. PH will then lose all its crebility as a political coalition.

6. Tun m may not want to step down after six months as promised and again refuse to pass the pm position to anwar. He may resign and walk out of PH again. Or he may just dissolve the parliament. There's nothing you and I can do.

7. Tun m as pm designate and anwar as dpm designate may trigger muhgovt to call for snap elections to prevent the loss of power to PH.
You never know what the Roti Canai man could do.
