In short, DAP is going to decide who the next Selangor Menteri Besar is going to be and it is not going to be Azmin Ali but someone from PAN a.k.a. Amanah. It is too early for DAP themselves to take the Menteri Besar’s post at this stage. Later on that may be possible. Hence, stage one has to be the Selangor Menteri Besar will be DAP’s proxy, which means from PAN, and in stage two DAP will take the Menteri Besar’s post themselves.
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

On 29th January 2018, Malaysia Today wrote: Azmin’s secret pact with PAS Selangor(READ HERE). In that article, we said, “If PAS Selangor engages in three-corner contests with Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan, the losers are going to be PKR, PPBM and PAN while DAP will benefit. Against the backdrop of three-corner contests, DAP is going to end up with the most number of seats in Selangor and Azmin is going to lose his job. So, it is crucial that Azmin makes this secret pact with PAS Selangor so that PKR and not DAP will end up with the most number of seats in Selangor.”
Today, Joceline Tan wrote: The knives are out for Azmin (READ HERE). In that article, Joceline said, “They are resentful that Azmin seems more “in love” with PAS than with Amanah, and are now demanding that he takes a stand on Selangor seats. They also suspect that Azmin is negotiating with PAS behind the scenes and it is no secret that its Paya Jaras assemblyman Mohd Khairuddin Othman has one foot in PKR and the other in the Islamist party.”
Joceline further said, “Some of the Selangor Pakatan leaders have also approached Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to get him to assert his clout over Selangor. Amanah’s aggressiveness is also seen as having the backing of DAP. Selangor DAP chairman Tony Pua and Azmin are barely talking and it is no secret that DAP would prefer someone else as Menteri Besar after GE14.”
In short, DAP is going to decide who the next Selangor Menteri Besar is going to be and it is not going to be Azmin Ali but someone from PAN a.k.a. Amanah. It is too early for DAP themselves to take the Menteri Besar’s post at this stage. Later on that may be possible. Hence, stage one has to be the Selangor Menteri Besar will be DAP’s proxy, which means from PAN, and in stage two DAP will take the Menteri Besar’s post themselves.
In case some of you may have forgotten, DAP never wanted Azmin as the Menteri Besar in the first place. DAP and PKR both nominated Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as the Menteri Besar. However, HRH the Sultan of Selangor insisted that Pakatan Rakyat propose three names and the letters proposing just one name, Wan Azizah, were rejected.
The PAS President, Abdul Hadi Awang, then sent in a new letter proposing three names, one of those names Azmin Ali, and the Sultan agreed to Azmin as the new Selangor Menteri Besar to replace Abdul Khalid Ibrahim.
Lim Kit Siang was so angry with Hadi that he announced Pakatan Rakyat had been closed down and no longer exists. The pro-DAP faction in PAS then left the party and set up a new party called PAN, after which Kit Siang set up Pakatan Harapan and invited PAN to join them as a coalition member.
