Muhyiddin gave up principles to become PM, claims Dr M
PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad claimed tonight that his successor, Muhyiddin Yassin had told him he was willing to forgo principles for politics, during the period after the Pakatan Harapan government collapsed in February.
Mahathir alleged that Muhyiddin, who is PPBM president, had said he was willing to work with former Umno leader Najib Razak and his allies to ensure being appointed for the top position, which Muhyiddin was eyeing.
Muhyiddin put himself forward as a candidate for the vacant premiership when he knew that Mahathir was not willing to work with Umno.
“I asked him several times if he was willing to work with his enemy,” Mahathir said at a rally called PPBM Blackout in Alor Setar this evening.
“His response was ‘I am willing because politics is more important than principles. We can forget the previous struggle, because through politics, we have a chance to be the PM’. And that is why our party split to two,” Mahathir said.

Kerbau, I doubt that very much considering this Old man has been kerbau-ing non-stop to justify his treacherous actions by resigning in late February without even rendering the basic courtesy of informing his colleagues. If anyone, he's the kahuna without principles.
And talking about Muhyiddin working with the 'enemy', hasn't he been the one working with the DAP and his bête noire Anwar? Raja Kebau lah.
I reckon the reason why PPBM deserted him (save for Mukhriz and a few guppies) could have been his insistence on having a 'party-less' technocratic cabinet, ruled all by his lonesome self, minus even Muhyiddin and Azmin Ali. Those two weren't gonna take no more kerbau from the Old Fool.
Whatever comes out from the hypocrite Nahathir's mouth can be totally discounted.
ReplyDeleteComing from MM this is a desperate plea to be relevant again.
The best thing to do now is to ignore this old and useless man.
Conman No. 1 and Conman No. 2 having a quarrel on who is the bigger con.
