KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 5 — Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has once again slammed Pakatan Harapan (PH) leaders for not backing him as prime minister during last year’s leadership crisis which led to the fall of the coalition’s government.
In a blog post today, Dr Mahathir slammed DAP’s veteran leader Lim Kit Siang for claiming the reason the PH government had dissolved was due to the former resigning as prime minister.
Instead, Dr Mahathir blamed PH for its decision to name its chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as prime ministerial candidate as the reason behind the fall.
“Kit Siang will certainly not admit the fall of PH not because I resigned.
“What really made PH fall was choosing Anwar to be the prime minister before the Agong.
“If PH named me, everything that is happening now will not happen,” he wrote.
Yesterday, Dr Mahathir claimed that he was unsuccessful in forming a unity government last year after the collapse of the PH administration due to the claim that he was a “dictator”.
Lim retaliated on the same day, expressing surprise over Dr Mahathir’s remark, labelling it as his “own conjecture” and called the latter’s resignation that led to PH’s collapse after just 22 months as the federal government an “egregious blunder”.
Today, Dr Mahathir doubled down saying that as Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia have deserted PH and himself, the coalition no longer had the majority and should have united to choose a leader during Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s interview with each MPs in February last year.
However, Dr Mahathir said 92 MPs supported Anwar while only 62 supported him.
“If my candidate PH is as I am entitled to, I will get 154 votes. I am willing to return as prime minister even if Bersatu rejects me.
“After the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s next nomination failed to determine the new PM, PH leaders including Anwar came to see me with the proposal to elect me as PM,” he said on the development.
However, the plan ultimately failed as Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was chosen as the PM after his party Bersatu found support from Umno, Barisan Nasional, PAS and Sarawak parties.

Just wonder why in the first round DSAI did not get the support from Sabah and Sarawak?
Equally mystery why Yang di-Pertuan Agong, appointed Muhyiddin as PM when PH bythen has 114 MPs' SD support Tun M as PM?
10. PH yang sepatutnya cadang saya, telah cadang Anwar konon kerana ia mendapat cukup bilang disebabkan sokongan dari Sabah dan Sarawak.
11. Tetapi Anwar hanya dapat 92 pencalonan dari PH sahaja. Sabah dan Sarawak tolak Anwar.
12. Saya dapat 62 pencalonan kerana PH tolak saya.
13. Jika PH calon saya seperti yang saya berhak dapat, saya akan dapat 154 undi. Saya sanggup kembali sebagai Perdana Menteri walaupun Bersatu tolak saya.
14. Setelah pencalonan depan Yang di-Pertuan Agong gagal menentukan PM baru, pemimpin PH termasuk Anwar datang jumpa saya dengan cadangan memilih saya sebagai PM. Saya letak syarat nama Anwar sebagai Timbalan Perdana Menteri tidak disebut. Pada hari esok syarat saya dipersetujui.
15. PH berjaya mendapat 114 wakil rakyat yang menyertai kumpulan baru ini. Tetapi sebelum dapat dikemukakan kepada Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Muhyiddin sudah dipilih oleh Agong.
16. Yang jelas ialah tidak mungkin Muhyiddin mempunyai majoriti kerana 114 dari wakil rakyat tidak bersama dengan beliau. Tetapi apabila dilantik sebagai Perdana Menteri beberapa penyokong kumpulan PH ditawar jadi Menteri, oleh Muhyiddin. Maka ia pun memperoleh majoriti.
17. Kit Siang tentu tidak akan mengaku kejatuhan PH bukan kerana saya letak jawatan. Yang benar-benar menjatuh PH ialah pemilihan Anwar untuk jadi Perdana Menteri semasa membuat pengakuan kepada Agong. Jika PH menamakan saya, segala-gala yang berlaku sekarang tidak akan berlaku.

I can understand Sarawakian hate LGE because of his big mouth in insulting/looking down on Sarawakian but Sabah why?
So in the end both senior and junior Lim should be blamed for putting us in our current predicament

LGE problem is that he is too direct.
of course Sarawak is a failed state, but which girl wants you to tell her she got black mole on her face, she is fat, talks like a crow, walks like a crab and sleeps like a prawn?

History is written from the editor's perspective or the actual actors recollection/perpective of how events unfolding from his view point.
So the more actors give their view: Tun M, TT, DSAI, LKS and etc the better as history is not as simple as black or white/right or wrong.

Haha you can piss on his grave afterall who care, "I’ll be dead anyway,” he said.
“I don’t care about my legacy. I’m quite sure when I’m dead and gone people will run me down and all that. It’s not important, I’ll be dead anyway,” he said.

He just don't really care how his grandchildren going to face the people for what he has done. Really sick and selfish old man.
