“The name of the game has all along been “who gets Anwar and who gets DAP.” And obviously, Team Anwar will not go into the general election alone”
Raggie Jessy Rithaudeen
Not many are aware, the 15thgeneral election is going to be a game of “who gets Anwar and who gets DAP.”
There is no disputing that Pakatan Harapan is torn apart – ripped, tattered – at the seams, as Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is never going to accept Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as Prime Minister.
It is said that Anwar’s hands were tied by a political figure who threatened to pile charges on him and send him to jail.
True or not, Anwar isn’t taking chances, as those who currently wield power aren’t exactly in good terms with him.
This means Mahathir can still become Pakatan Harapan’s Prime Minister candidate with the understanding that the DAP and AMANAH agree to part ways with Anwar – permanently.
And they will.
Both the DAP and AMANAH know that the axis of influence is currently tilting in Mahathir’s favour and will tilt more in his direction the minute he severs all ties with Anwar and PKR.
Mahathir has more or less done that. Yesterday, he literally told Sin Chew Daily that he would not work with Anwar, stopping short only of telling Anwar to go fly kites.
The elder statesman currently enjoys the support of all WARISAN Members of Parliament and majorities from Sarawak (GPS), PPBM (government block) and Team B (UMNO), and not to mention, his own “team of five” (former PPBM members).
What’s shocking, is Mahathir also has the support of several PKR MPs and those in government aligned with Datuk Seri Azmin Ali.
Let’s call the whole lot “Team Mahathir” and whatever is left of PPBM “Team Muhyiddin.”
Let’s also call the 20-odd MPs from PKR that are still loyal to Anwar “Team Anwar.”
By the time GE15 draws near, it will be all about Team Mahathir, Team Muhyiddin, Team Anwar and Team A (UMNO).
For the sake of discussion, let’s assume that the DAP and AMANAH decide to stick with Anwar.
Under the circumstances, Team Mahathir would probably find a way to collapse the federal government, perhaps with the exodus of Team B MPs.
Should this happen, there is no way Perikatan Nasional can compensate for the difference, as not only does Anwar lack the support of all 38 PKR MPs, GPS and Azmin’s men have made it absolutely clear they want nothing to do with Anwar.
So, the only option left for Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin is to call for the dissolution of parliament to pave the way for the 15thgeneral election (GE15).
Anwar knows this, as do Datuk Seri Haji Abdul Hadi Awang, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Lim Guan Eng, Mohamad Sabu, Azmin and Mahathir.
Mahathir has no qualms, as his mission has all along been to turn Team Mahathir into The Third Force with or without Anwar.
Those in Perikatan who tied Anwar’s hands wasted time as there has always been a Plan A and Plan B (and Plan C, D, etc).
Whatever the plan, the name of the game has all along been “who gets Anwar and who gets DAP.”
Obviously, Team Anwar will not go into the general election alone.
This is precisely why I have been telling you from day one that Anwar’s mission has all along been to ensure that Muhyiddin remains in power until GE15.
So tell me – who gets to keep Anwar and who gets to keep the DAP?
