To paraphrase Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, who repeatedly shouted "Why? Why?" at Mahathir, begging him to reconsider at the 56th UMNO General Assembly on June 22, 2002, Malaysians are now asking the President of PAS, why why now?
Why after 12 years and 2 General Elections, the President of PAS decides to reveal the overtures made by the US government towards PAS to overthrow the then government led by PM6?
Recently, the President of PAS, at the party’s meeting revealed that he and his party received an overture from the US Embassy in KL during President Obama's visit to Malaysia in 2014 to topple the then sitting government led by PM6 in 2014.
Why? Why? Why?
What does this sudden revelation served, moreso after so many years and the President of the US has since been replaced by Biden and now Trump while Malaysia has seen 4 Prime Ministers, PM7, PM8, PM9 and now PM10 governing the country?
The President of PAS is not an ordinary man on the street nor is he an ordinary politician that has been at the helm of a political party and leading the party to become the single largest political party represented in the Dewan Rakyat presently with 43 MPs.
In 2014, PAS had 21 MPs won during the 13th GE held in May 2013, where PAS campaigned as part of the opposition coalition Pakatan Rakyat while DAP has 38 MPs while PKR has 28–30 seats MPs.
Pakatan Rakyat was formed on 1st April 2008 with DAP, PKR and PAS as members of the coalition and it officially broke off and ceased to exist on 16 June 2015.
It sounded preposterous that the US Embassy invited the political party with the least number of MPs in 2014 for a meeting to discuss something that is so crucial and important to Malaysia’s soverignty without their coalition partner DAP and PKR?
Or the US Embassy believes and was of the view that it is easier and more palatable to have a discussion with PAS than with DAP and PKR or with all 3 of them together?
Hmmm……probably the President of PAS can explain and reveal whether he asked the US Embassy this question of why only invite and meet with PAS and not with DAP and PKR?
Since PKR and DAP was not invited nor an overture made to them, did the President of PAS shared the overture from the US Embassy that took place in 2014 with his coalition partners then in Pakatan Rakyat, PKR and DAP, where their shared objective was to win the elections and replace BN as the government?
And if yes, what were their response?
Why did the President of PAS shared the overture with Tun Dr Mahathir, who in 2014, was still an active member of UMNO who was still governing the country under PM6?
Tun Dr Mahathir had previously quit UMNO in May 2008 during the administration of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, but rejoined UMNO in April 2009 when Najib Razak took over as Prime Minister.
Analysts have predicted strong momentum for PAS in the upcoming general election due to a solid conservative voter base.
For long, the President of PAS has frequently accused PMX of being influenced by or acting as a proxy for Western powers, including the United States, often framed around PMX’s international connections.
Most notably, President of PAS argued that the "reforms" championed by the Madani government are "imported" from the West, claiming they cause moral and social decline and are destined to fail.
Was the revelation timed to `paint’ PMX as a proxy of the west, a claim which the President of PAS has consistently made against PMX?
