“I am here sharing a platform with Tun purely because I want to make sure we have a legitimate government.
“The government we have today is not a legitimate government, and the Prime Minister we have sitting in the office today is not a legitimate Prime Minister.”
So said Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah yesterday at a press conference together with Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to announce their collaboration for the sake of the nation.
Asked if he was prepared to face disciplinary action from UMNO for sharing a platform with Mahathir, Tengku Razaleigh asked “what disciplinary action, everybody can support whoever they want to support.”
These were the words of Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, expressed in the lead up to the Sabah state election back in September.
Asked if it was true Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had amassed the support of some Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament, Zahid made it absolutely clear that he had no control over them, that they were free to support whoever they wanted.
Zahid is the chairman of Barisan Nasional, a coalition that religiously held to the principle that no coalition member could collaborate politically with persons from a rival coalition, particularly one that was critical of Barisan Nasional.
However, Zahid’s statement was a complete reversal of that principle, held since the days of Parti Perikatan prior to the establishment of Barisan Nasional by the late Tun Abdul Razak in 1973.
His actions went a step further in establishing that reversal, given that he himself gave a written testament of his support for Anwar together with Barisan Nasional advisor, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
When I pointed this out to Tengku Razaleigh and asked if he agreed that Zahid’s statement meant the Barisan Nasional chairman has no business questioning who Tengku wants to be seated next to, the Kelantan Prince cooly replied;
“Of course!”
Case closed.
