Maintaining relevance and control in the political arena at any costs! At any age!
The political landscape in Malaysia has been marked by uncertainty since Mahathir's departure from his 22-year tenure in office. Despite stepping down, Mahathir remains a prominent figure, positioning himself as the kingmaker with the ability to influence the selection of the next prime minister. This enduring influence is facilitated by enablers who manipulate public opinion in Malaysia through various means, including journalists and professional such as prominent lawyers who are active in social media.
In addition to political maneuvering, Mahathir's strategy to stay relevant involves a significant emphasis on financial influence. Money politics has become synonymous with Mahathir, and he ensures that his supporters, including cronies and family members, have access to substantial financial resources. This financial backing not only secures loyalty but also enables those aligned with him to exert influence within the political arena.
The recent crackdown on individuals attempting to undermine the PMX government underscores the dynamic relationship between power, money, and influence in Malaysian politics. It reflects Mahathir's ongoing efforts to maintain relevance and control, showcasing the intricate interplay of political forces in the country.
The public is grateful to MACC for proactively addressing issues related to TDM and Daim, without direct political interference from PMX, by scrutinizing their associates like Naimah, Mohzani , and Mirzan.
