ANWAR SEES THE OPPORTUNITY WHILST MUHYIDDIN LACKS CONFIDENCE
Amidst concerns from family members that the current situation is not conducive for Muhyiddin Yassin to see thru his tenure of Prime Minister of Malaysia, especially due to his current health, advice from many quarters especially from within his own party, friends and supporters to break links with Azmin Ali and Hamzah, coupled with the pressures being weighed upon him by the problems in these troubled times of the Covid 19 Pandemic and its worsening situation in the country, and the state of the economy for which he hasn't really got the adequate and competent support of his ministers entrusted with such functions, close associates of the Prime Minster feel that he will not last till the end of November.
A close relative was heard saying, "he'll go even sooner and the sooner the better for him, he does not need this burden."
UMNO's supreme Council Meeting of a fragmented party will discuss Muhyiddin's position with Najib being expected to ask the SC to go for Anwar as Prime Minister a position backed by Zahid Hamidi.
Senior members of the Supreme Council will not buy that as is expected, as most of them can see through the hidden agenda behind the Najib/Zahid plan, even the DAP is reluctant to go along with such a plan so in reality Anwar may not make it even this time around, unless of course he comes out publicly and stateS categorically that there will be no deal made with the pending court cases, and charges brought about against Najib and Zahid and there will be no meddling with the the position of the prosecutors in this case, by the Attorney General or a select panel of the judiciary in these cases.
Without the DAP and AMANAH Anwar's hopes hinges on cross overs from Bersatu, and probably a tacit agreement with PAS which could be dangerous.
DAP will only go into an agreement if the original members give them the majority, they are not to keen on PAS and neither are they looking at UMNO unless of course some UMNO members cross over to PKR, but isn't all this putting the cart before the horse?
Why should the speaker allow a vote of no confidence to proceed, he has rejected it time and time again as not being important although he knows that a vote of no confidence must be given all the priority it requires.
The vote on the budget should be taken after it is presented to the house, debated upon and then voted on, is there any any implication here that even if the budget is a good one the house is going to reject it?
If that is the case then it will show immaturity on the part of those who oppose the budget just for the sake of opposing it, and voting it out to express no confidence in Muhyiddin.
Is that the right thing to do?
Muhydiidn should take one thing at a time, he may not be voted out, it is rather unlikely that Anwar will get the numbers, when Anwar claimed he had the majority he probably assumed DAP and AMANAH would be with him all the way but we have seen Guan Eng's reaction when he heard of UMNO involvement.
UMNO does not want to work with DAP so how can DAP go and get itself involved with an UMNO government, DAP has no place for gravy trains but for UMNO gravy trains are the lifeblood of the party, for UMNO and its membership it's a matter of "no money no talk," DAP is multiracial UMNO can only work with racist parties like the MCA and the biggest contradiction is that Anwar himself said he does not believe in race based politics, so any inclusion of UMNO must be from members who cross over and join either DAP or PKR or even AMANAH.
Even Amanah is not is not ready work the UMNO deal, for the time being I really do not see a danger to Muhyiddin except from his own party and UMNO, that should be easily settled with the sacking of Azmin and Hamzah.
However his health and the pressures of office with so many differing views that he has no handle on and the constant disagreement of members in his own cabinet, incompetence of ministers even those in the most important ministries may cause his downfall.
Muhyiddin should approach the DAP, PKR and Amanah for a truce, form a unity government by getting competent MPs to man the respective ministries, and the cabinet should be apolitical with but only one aim, serve the Nation and the rakyat, and if he can get that moving he may find the right cure for his own woes and may even come home with great majority for the next elections when it is due. he may appoint less radical UMNO MPs to join his inclusive government and they too may cross over, ti will bean ideal settingatthis time to form a truly credible government
The country can't afford gravy trains, do away with that, maybe give Anwar Finance again and call a seasoned Veteran like Rafidah in to help with International Trade and Industry as what he's got now is only of "office boy" standard.
Once Muhyiddn has a cabinet of competent ministers his problems will end and if his cabinet becomes a unity cabinet to handle and address these difficult times, politicking will cease and no one or no party will be able to blackmail him, like UMNO is now doing.
Is that or can that be Muhyiddin's game plan?
If it can it will not pressure him and he will be able to run the country with ease.
Well Anwar is offering just that so why not Anwar?
Yes in effect all this is Anwar's plan.
Anwar can do the same and that will be good, it will give the rakyat what they bargained for at the last elections, but only on condition that there will be no deals with the 1MDB cases and all other Najib related cases, Zahid cases, and Rosmah cases as long as that is in place Anwar is most certainly the better choice.
A piece of advice to Muhyidin get rid of your excess dirty linen - Azmin Ali, Hamzah and their train.
