YOURSAY | ‘He has formed three new Malay parties in the last six years.’
BobbyO: Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has never remained loyal or faithful to any cause, except his own.
This goes back to the time when he was in Umno. He used Umno to his advantage. Look at his family's fortunes.
He even went to the extent of splitting Umno to secure his position. Which Malay agenda was he serving at that time?
When Umno no longer served his cause, he started Bersatu with former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
And after making use of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim and Pakatan Harapan to regain power, he betrayed them. He never had any intention of giving up his PM’s post as he had promised.
He moved on to form Pejuang - another Malay party. Pejuang proved to be a failure - they lost all the seats, including their deposits, at the recent Johor state election.
Not willing to forgo an opportunity to lead this nation for the third time, he now forms another Malay coalition, hoping that this might be the key that would help him to return to Putrajaya. This is not a Malay agenda, but his very own.
He had used Umno, Harapan, Pejuang and now a new entity, Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA), comprising Pejuang, Parti Perikatan India Muslim Nasional (Iman), Parti Barisan Jemaah Islamiah Se-Malaysia (Berjasa), and Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia (Putra).
All these have nothing to do with the Malay struggle. It is all about using the Malays to achieve power.

This sounds a lot like Damage Control Spin.
ReplyDeleteI am sure it has been conveyed to Zaid Ibrahim by knowledgeable legal players that if his law firm gives the appearance of trying to manipulate or abuse the Court process, the trial lawyers and he himself as the Principal partner in the firm, could get into Hot Soup.
"This is not a Pasar Malam"
Either from the Court Judges themselves or by being referred to the Bar Council's disciplinary committee.
Well put, BobbyO!!!
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I am waiting for GE15.
GTA, particularly Pejuang would probably lose and forfeit their deposits too.
Please God let Old Horse live long to see Malaysia rise again
