Was DAP campaign for Mahathir as PH's PM a '916'?


Malaysiakini:

Anwar: Harapan did explore Dr M option, but he doesn't have numbers either

Malaysiakini

Pakatan Harapan did discuss Dr Mahathir Mohamad as a second option for prime minister, said PKR president Anwar Ibrahim.

He said this was suggested in order to secure the numbers to take over Putrajaya.

However, Anwar said that Mahathir does not have the numbers at the moment either.

Addressing his supporters via Facebook live, Anwar said DAP and Amanah had never strayed from supporting him to become prime minister.

"But what is clear now is that we don't have the numbers. So our friends (DAP and Amanah) said, 'In that case Anwar, can we think of a second option, that is to give room to Mahathir?

"Some believe that Mahathir can get the numbers, but to this day it has not materialised," he added.

Anwar, however, did not say whether PKR or Harapan as a group agreed to this second option.

Previously DAP and Amanah said the Harapan presidential council had endorsed Anwar as prime minister during the May 30 meeting.

They added it was also agreed that the fallback was for Mahathir to become prime minister if Anwar couldn't get the numbers to form the government

Indeed, over at Focus Malaysia, its article Anwar failed to court GPS, say DAP, Amanah says the following (extracts):

DAP and Amanah said. “After exhausting all efforts, we found that the first option had only managed to gain support from a maximum of 96 MPs.”

“The last attempt by Anwar to secure the support of GPS had also failed and the number of support could not reach the amount needed while the deadline has already passed,” read the statement.

According to both parties, PH has 96 MPs: 38 from PKR, 42 from DAP, 11 from Amanah, and Mahathir and his quartet.

But their statement failed to disclose the number of MPs backing the Mahathir-Anwar option

Wakakaka, what was Anthony Loke and Khalid Samad trying to "sell"?

"Kerala kerbau 916"?

Thus Anwar has NOT been wrong in saying: So our friends (DAP and Amanah) said, 'In that case Anwar, can we think of a second option, that is to give room to Mahathir?

"Some believe that Mahathir can get the numbers, but to this day it has not materialised," he added.

  1. the question is if conman hv the number, would anwar agree to let conman be the pm?

    whether conman can do a good pm or no is irrelevant, so its pretty unfair to accuse dap kt style on something they didn't do.
