Sarawak rejects Mukhriz as Prime Minister

By MT Webmaster Last updated May 14, 2016

And the Sarawakians do not want Mukhriz or any other Mahathir proxy as Prime Minister. They are quite happy with Najib as Prime Minister. That was what Mahathir, Muhyiddin, Mukhriz and the ANC found out the hard way on 7 May 2016.

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

These are the results of the 2011 Sarawak state election:

BN won 55 seats or 77.46%

DAP won 12 seats or 16.9%

PKR won 3 seats or 4.23%

Independent won 1 seat or 1.4 %

And these are the results of the 2016 Sarawak state election:

BN won 72 seats or 87.8%

DAP won 7 seats or 8.5%

PKR won 3 seats or 3.7%

Of course, the more detailed post mortem is not yet in but we should begin to see something very soon. Already the numbers crunchers are crunching away even as we speak (you can see one such analysis below).

Anyway, what is very apparent yesterday is that the Sarawak voters have rejected Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s Anti-Najib Campaign (ANC) alliance with Lim Kit Siang and his DAP. And that is the price DAP paid yesterday for tangoing with the devil and thinking they can get away with it.

Mahathir and Kit Siang thought they could sell the Sarawak voters a donkey and pass it off as a thoroughbred racehorse. The problem is donkeys bray while horses neigh. And the Sarawak voters are not really as stupid as they thought. So the Sarawak voters said nay (not neigh) and sent DAP packing.

Mahathir and Kit Siang tried to sell the ANC-DAP alliance as a save Malaysia alliance. But the Sarawak voters knew this was not about saving Malaysia at all but about saving Boboi.

Mahathir wanted his son, Mukhriz, to become Prime Minister but he could not do that unless he first becomes an Umno Vice President and then its Deputy President and eventually the party President.

But all that is now water under the bridge and he probably cannot become the Alor Setar chief dogcatcher if he ever tried contesting that post. So Mukhriz’s political career is as good as finished unless Mahathir can somehow get rid of Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and replace him with Muhyiddin Yassin.

And that is what this is all about — the ANC, the ‘save Malaysia’ campaign, the 1MDB witch-hunt, the RM50 billion has disappeared into thin air song and dance, the RM2.6 billion that was supposed to have been stolen from 1MDB nonsense, and so on. It is all about his son Mukhriz and his failed career.

Mahathir and Kit Siang tried to pull the wool over all our eyes and failed. We have been trying to tell them this since last year and they refused to listen. We told them they are going to suffer a disaster in the Sarawak state election and they pooh-poohed what we said.

And now behold the truth. Can you see the light?

By the way, in my previous article I told the opposition they should aim for 15-16 seats at the most. My wife, Marina, said at the most they would be able to win is 10 seats and that she will reveal what the bet is after the elections. Sigh…this is beginning to sound like a very costly affair.

Is it not ironical that DAP did far better in the 2011 election when they went to bed with PAS? Then they divorced PAS and went to bed with Mahathir and they did even worse. Now you know why none of the ANC leaders such as Mahathir, Muhyiddin, Mukhriz, etc., dared campaign in Sarawak. If they did then DAP might be down to just five seats and PKR down to just one.

So there you have it. The so-called ‘stupid Sarawakians’ (according to what the Pakatuns say) are not really that stupid after all. They did not buy that ‘save Malaysia’ nonsense. They knew it was a ‘save Boboi’ campaign to make Mukhriz the Prime Minister.

Now let us see what happens in 2018. Rest assured, though, if they continue with this ‘save Malaysia’ nonsense then the scenario for the 2018 general election is going to be the same as what we saw on 7 May 2016.
