There Is Only One Way Now For Malaysia And Mahathir Must Take It (Sarawak Report)

There is only one way forward for Malaysia this Friday, after a full week of political turmoil and heart-stopping drama featuring ‘King Lear’ moments on the part of two older party leaders, prompted by a desperate Iago who planned to move in smartly after them. The hounds of UMNO circled.
The moment Mahathir stepped out of the palace yesterday afternoon it was clear he had lost all momentum behind his plans to snatch ‘stabilising’ powers from a situation he was largely responsible for allowing to develop. His allies had backed him up. Ready to shore him and support him after he had allowed Iago to trigger a full-scale revolt amongst his Bersatu party members.
However, it was not so simple. Bersatu was still pursuing a separate agenda and he was struggling to juggle the pieces and keep control. His solution the Agong would not allow. He had proposed a ‘unity government’ that promised only rag bag chaos or an iron fist.
The surprise had been Muhyiddin, the secret trump card up ‘Iago’s’ sleeve. Azmin had promised the Bersatu leader that he could be prime minister with PAS and UMNO support. In the dying embers of a long career this was some temptation, but who wants Muhyiddin?
Fighting back the chaos Mahathir, aged 95, had deployed his formidable energy how he knows best – with a bold attempt to rescue the situation on his own terms. But, with the Agong clear that most numbers were backing Anwar and that Mahathir’s self-imposed ‘interim’ status was one that meant what it said, by the end of yesterday it had become a losing battle for the old PM.
Pre-empting the Agong’s statement to spin his own chances was a rare political mistake. The public was alarmed and distasteful. One assumes the King was peeved. Flip flop statements regarding Bersatu and support for Muhyiddin made it worse – Muhyiddin was now committed to UMNO and state governments had started to crumble.
Defying diminishing odds, Mahathir fought on with an even more audacious unilateral announcement that Parliament would be called and MPs called to decide (forget the Agong altogether?). It didn’t work. Today the Speaker snubbed the interim PM and said he had no authority to bring back Parliament early. Due process would continue as the Agong considered who had the proven support to lead a government in the traditional way.
By this afternoon, this left the grand old man of Malaysian politics essentially defeated. Across the nation, state governments were falling to UMNO. Johor, Malacca, where Bersatu turncoats under Muhyiddin had campaigned under the banner of PKR to gain their seats were now linking up with the very forces they had campaigned against.
What treachery and what a slap in the face to the people who had voted in the PH coalition to combat corruption condemned by Mahathir himself. People on the streets have been starting to enquire if the court cases against various mega-miscreants are still proceeding? After all, the ultimate objective of up-ending a once seemingly solid coalition was mainly to get those crooks off the hook.
Can Mahathir allow this? Can he ignore the 180 degree change in popular opinion that had regarded him as Malaysia’s saviour when he rejected the Azmin coup attempt on Sunday and is now calling him a traitor from the start?
For the past 36 hours Malaysians have been furious at his Unity Government solution that planned to ditch the collegiate agreement with the political partners who had supported him all this time. Mahathir went home from meeting Bersatu today having gone from Hero to Zero in the eyes of most.
Cast as a dictator who could not stomach a promised handover to his designated partner and successor Mahathir has lost public support and he has lost momentum. There is only one way forward for a man who never in the final analysis gave up on the fundamental principles behind his government.
He must accept at last that it is time to step aside in the way he said he would and allow the traitors who have flushed themselves out to be removed from where they can do harm.

That is possible because they united on the basis of race and religion also fear of the non-Malays. The majority too lives in unfounded fear and provide blind support.
There are two reasons, 1) Inferiority complex and 2) racism.

Rule of Law, Independent of Judiciary, Independent of press, Freedom of Speech and religion is the universal law that empower every individual regardless of race. IN the end the society wins. The penyamun use DAP as a bogeyman to attack. It doesn't matter whether is DAP, PAP, GAP, BAP, CAP or any other party by any other name that is not Malay dominant. They will attack and tell lies and lies about every individual. Naive rakyat believe the narrative that they preach and blame on LGE or LKS. Their principle of running country is base on race and base on Malay as a dominant race in getting government contracts and university entrance. This policy has failed them for 50 years. They are no better than Indonesians, Vietnamese or Thais. They can't beat them in football and work ethics. Private enterprise will hire any race that is productive. Any race that is not productive, private enterprise won't hire. Because Private enterprise has fierce competition among one another regardless of race.

Muhiyiddin has stroke Mahathir's ego and make use of him to bring down Badawi, Najib and now Mahathir himself. He was blind to the fact, that Muhiyiddin was using him all this while. Muhiyiddin is the grand Master while all the press and rakyat was focussing on Mahathir, Najib and Anwar. The hidden hand base on malay dominance and religion wins. Mahathir and Anwar tries to change the Malay from within. And they failed.
2020-02-29 10:02
Muhiyiddin who has said: "I am Malay first", made use of everybody to get what he wants. He made us of Mahathir to bring down Badawi and najib and made use of Azmin to bring down the entire coalition. IT was his plan all this while. WHO IS THE GRAND MASTER NOW? HIDUP! Melayu! HIDUP! Melayu
2020-02-29 10:04
Malaysian are so gullible in focusing what is in front, while at the back, the group including HIshamuddin, Azmin and Muhiyiddin (THe Real Grand MAster) was making use of everybody. Malaysians deserve to be a developing country forever. HIDUP! Melayu! HIDUP! Melayu

Right in the first place after winning election, Mahathir is already lame duct PM. Muhiyiddin and the gang already isolated him. How to become leader when your people don't listen to you. Either you play by their rules or become a symbolic leader like the agong. They already started to isolate him, when Mahathir don't allow UMNO to join PBBM. UMNO will and always want to be the dominant party no matter who wins the election. Back door pun boleh. Front door pun boleh. NO SHAME! No Honour! HIDUP! Melayu! HIDUP! Melayu

When they form the next stronger government,they can legally invite other quality MPs from other parties to join them.Then they leave the undesirable ones in the opposition without any threats of defections in the future.

Hopefully, we will back to the track. However those visible 'traitors', self-proclaimed, must be 'abolished' by hook or crook. Another day, another time these 'hollow' man will make trouble again...and again..

Everybody choose their own way to go forward
without realising that they're on the wrong
path.To change to the correct path will need
a lot of courage and willpower.Hope there's no

Agong appoints Muhyiddin as prime minister
Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah has appointed Pagoh MP Muhyiddin Yassin as the new prime minister.
The appointment was announced by the comptroller of the Royal Household Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin this evening.
This is after the Agong interviewed MPs on Tuesday and Wednesday and further consulted with party leaders earlier today.
"After getting representation from all leaders representing their respective parties and independent Dewan Rakyat members, in the opinion of his royal highness, the Dewan Rakyat member that is likely to enjoy majority confidence among the Dewan Rakyat members is Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, the Pagoh MP," he said.
As such, he said the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong has appointed Muhyiddin as prime minister in accordance to Article 40(2)(a) and Article 43(2)(a) of the Federal Constitution.
Ahmad Fadil said the swearing-in process will take place tomorrow at Istana Negara at 10.30am.

If Vote of no confidence table and Mohiden going down. Agong for sure will call for snap election. Do you really thing PH want that? PH will get slaughtered by only Muafakat Nasional. That is why PH try whatever they can to avoid snap election and to be in power. Rakyat are very angry especially with PH and DAP. DAP is Malaysia No.1 enemy. Do you really think they want to go for election after 5 losses in every recent election.
Agong actually already check-mated Mahathir and Anwar especially PH. Good luck PH.

Even Muhyiddin "The Malay First" PM also trust Singapore doctors more than Malaysia doctor. He did his pancreas cancer treatment in Spore. Maybe all is not lost. He still put his trust in Chinese when comes to life and death.

Everyone must forgive Tun. Be grateful. He had been backstabbed. This is the man some has humiliated , but his country is debt-laden in the hands of the previous government, his hands are still empty but he still wants to provide for the people.
Mistake was made but he is trying to redeem it by himself, he never took any break from being PM, working 18 hours a day, just for one reason, to see the people happy and the nation recovered.”

If mahathir is so kind & considerate, we would not have lost the PH govt loh.....!!
The other thing LGE is a rascal loh...takeaway TAR University grant but spend billion useless white elephant elsewhere, including for opposition states mah...!!
