Forget Dr M, just move on, pro-Anwar group tells PH
Otai Reformis secretary Abdul Razak Ismail says he cannot comprehend Pakatan Harapan’s obsession and willingness to still work with Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
PETALING JAYA: A pro-Anwar Ibrahim group wants Pakatan Harapan (PH) to forget working with either Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s Pejuang or Umno in any move to topple the Perikatan Nasional-led government.
Speaking to FMT, Otai Reformis secretary Abdul Razak Ismail said cooperation with either party will not benefit the former ruling coalition and only serve to make use of PKR, DAP and Amanah, again.
“Dr Mahathir or Umno will only use PH to ‘trade’ with Muhyiddin Yassin for their personal or party interests.”
Razak said Otai Reformis cannot comprehend PH’s obsession and willingness to still work with Mahathir, adding that he cannot see what the former prime minister nor Pejuang can offer with just four MPs.
“We unanimously reject cooperation with Mahathir. We will not compromise on this,” he said, adding the people cannot forget Mahahtir’s “betrayal” when he resigned as prime minister last February, triggering the collapse of the PH government.
He was commenting on Amanah vice-president Mahfuz Omar’s remarks that Mahathir’s readiness to accept Anwar as prime minister should the PKR president garner enough support in the Dewan Rakyat was a good sign for the opposition.
The Pokok Sena MP had also voiced hope that with Mahathir’s support, Anwar would step up efforts to strengthen the opposition bloc.
But Razak says he was told by PH leaders that Mahathir had never openly stated his support for Anwar as the opposition’s prime minister candidate.
He also alleged that some PH leaders were still having secret negotiations with Mahathir’s group.
He called on PH to forget about Mahathir and focus on the welfare of the people and the next general election.
“There seems to be no proactive efforts from the PH leadership to help the people in states not under PH’s rule who are struggling from the effects of the pandemic.”

ReplyDeletePejuang has 4 MP, Warisan has 1 MP
ReplyDeleteIn the current situation, it is impossible to ignore them.
I agree with Abdul Razak Ismail - forget the old fool. Wgen the old fool put forward Shafie as PM designate, when didn't he (the old fool) state provided Shafie has the strong support from MPs?
ReplyDeleteI am astounded at the PH's willingness to get screwed again by the old fool.
If PH insist on working and supporting the old fool, then they deserve whatever the rakyat dishes out and it won't be pretty.
If reject Toonsie outright he may sulk and side with UMNO/PAS/BERSATU then how? The Malays will be United.
ReplyDeleteBetter pura-pura fren fren with him. Confuse the Old Man a bit, his job is to lead Parti Kacau Bilau 13%, and dilute Malay votes.
