PETALING JAYA: There will be two Deputy Prime Minister’s should Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal succeed in securing the country’s top job.
This is according to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who today announced Shafie’s nomination as Prime Minister candidate for the opposition collective.
According to a news portal (FMT), Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir would each assume the role of Deputy Prime Minister under Shafie’s watch.
This was reportedly agreed upon by opposition leaders during a meeting held on the 25thof June 2020 in which an agreement was reached to nominate Shafie.
According to FMT, the informal meeting was attended by Mahathir, Shafie, Mukhriz, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and other top DAP leaders.
“We also agreed to nominate Anwar as the deputy prime minister I candidate and Mukhriz as the deputy prime minister II candidate.”
Earlier, TTF wrote:
By floating Shafie name, Mahathir let GPS know that he is not interested in entering a new transition agreement with Pakatan Harapan come hell or high water.
It is an open secret that both Shafie and Abang Johari hate Anwar’s guts like nobody’s business.
By throwing his weight behind Shafie, Mahathir has more or less put GPS and WARISAN into his pocket ahead of the 15thgeneral election and may even collect a few more Members of Parliament from Sarawak and Sabah along the way.
As it is, Mahathir already enjoys the support of WARISAN en bloc and a majority from PPBM (government and opposition block), Team B (UMNO) and a number of MPs from PKR.
With DAP and AMANAH on board, should Takiyuddin – a member of government – go ahead and table a motion of confidence, Perikatan Nasional may get fried.
Meanwhile, FMT reported:
Elaborating on the choice of Shafie in his statement, Mahathir said the Sabah chief minister was among the original leaders to oppose the Barisan Nasional administration.
“He is also one of the leaders who were victims of the Najib (Razak) administration. He was dropped as a minister and Umno vice-president as he could not accept acts of corruption and theft of the people’s money through the sickening 1MDB scandal.
“Shafie was with Muhyiddin Yassin then. Now, Muhyiddin has left the struggle and returned to the kleptocrats who punished him before.”
Mahathir said if Shafie became the PM, it could bring Sabah and Sarawak closer to Peninsula Malaysia.
“I believe what we are suggesting will be acceptable to the people as proof that personalities in the opposition do not prioritise positions.”
