Mahathir scheming AGAIN for his "Unity Government", minus of course the DAP

Malaysiakini:



Dr M met Ku Li and others on ‘unity government’ proposal - source

Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has held discussions with several political leaders on the idea of forming a unity government, according to a source in Mahathir's office.

The source confirmed that Mahathir had met Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah on Monday, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri on Tuesday, and Amanah president Mohamad Sabu yesterday.

“The discussions were towards forming a unity government,” the source told Malaysiakini today.

All three meetings were held at Mahathir’s residence in Seri Kembangan, Selangor.

Asked about DAP’s absence in the meetings, the source replied, “those in the photos are who have come so far".

The source added that their "doors were still open” to anyone who wished to discuss the matter with Mahathir.



Earlier, the Facebook page of Mahathir’s fan club "Kelab Che Det" posted photos of the meetings between the Langkawi MP and the others.

It said in a post that, as the country was being “tested”, a unity government is the best solution to the impasse.



“Political parties need to be set aside for now, and instead only national interests should be prioritised. It also upholds the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s call to stop politicking.

“If a unity government is formed, it is hoped that it not only protects the interests and welfare of the multiracial Malaysian citizenry, but also bring focus on efforts to revive the increasingly challenging national economy that has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, political turmoil, and uncertain global economic climate,” it said.

This comes as Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin faces challenges to his power from within and outside his ruling Perikatan Nasional coalition.

In addition, he needs to push through his Budget 2021 proposal that is expected to be tabled on Nov 6 despite his slim majority in the august House, in order to show he still has the confidence of a majority of MPs to continue as prime minister.

Muhyiddin’s attempt to seek a proclamation of emergency had been rejected, but he also gained some breathing room when the Yang di-Pertuan Agong called for politicians to stop politicking and focus efforts on tackling the Covid-19 pandemic.

The king has also advised all MPs to support the upcoming budget proposal.

  2. The less DAP getting involved or said anything, the better!

    Let mamak finished why he was prolonged in age to started - the demised of umno.

    All these shipwrecked rats would fight tooth & nail for a piece of action such that their cliffhanging fates could be averted.

    Along the way more backstabbings would happen. Helping to speed up that decaying process!
