Kit Siang confirms Pakatan is going to lose the next general election

By MT Webmaster Last updated Apr 19, 2017

Kit Siang says PAS is going to win 80 seats and Umno only 40. So that means Umno will be giving PAS 50 seats free-of-charge. The rest of BN will win another 50 seats. So that means Pakatan will win just 52 seats, 42 of them DAP seats while PKR, PAN and Pribumi share just 10 seats. And Hadi Awang is the next PM, says Kit Siang.

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Raja Petra Kamarudin

This what was Free Malaysia Today reported:

The appointment of Hishammuddin Hussein as special functions minister is a move by Prime Minister Najib Razak to consolidate his hold on power, says Lim Kit Siang. Calling it a coup d’etat, the DAP supremo said it was done simply to protect the prime minister.

The definition of coup d’état is the sudden overthrow of a government by usually a small group of persons in or previously in positions of authority.

That is what the term coup d’état means and for two years since 2015 we have been saying that this is what they are plotting against Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak: a coup d’état.

Today, Lim Kit Siang himself confirmed that the coup d’état does, in fact, exist. So Malaysia Today was right all along.

Kit Siang says BN is going to win 90 seats and PAS 80 seats, which means Pakatan would be down to just 52 seats

Free Malaysia Today further reported:

“This is more palatable for Umno diehards than teaming up with PAS, which is even thinking of a PAS-Umno Federal government, with Hadi Awang as prime minister based on a PAS-Umno government with 80 PAS MPs, 40 Umno MPs and 45 MPs from Sabah and Sarawak,” Lim said, justifying his coup d’etat reference.

Now Kit Siang is beginning to talk nonsense. Even in the best of times PAS would be hard-pressed to win 30 seats in Parliament let alone 80 seats. Even in 2008 and 2013 PAS won 23 and 21 seats respectively. So where are those additional seats coming from?

Kit Siang is suggesting that the extra 50 seats will come from Umno. Hence Umno will be reduced to just 40 seats instead of 90 or so seats, says Kit Siang. Actually Umno can win 100 seats because in 2004 (just before the 2008-2013 ‘Tsunami’) it won 109 seats.

I doubt PAS is stupid enough to think that Umno will hand them 50 seats so that they can end up with 80 seats from just 30 while Umno will be reduced to just 40 from 90. Kit Siang must be delusional to even think this.

But then Kit Siang is not really delusional. He is actually very devious. He is hoping that by saying Umno will hand PAS 50 seats and will be reduced to just 40 seats, while PAS is going too see its seats increase from 30 to 80, that would trigger a rebellion in Umno.

Yes, Kit Siang wants to see Umno split over the ‘sell-out’ or ‘betrayal’ of handing over 50 seats to PAS free-of-charge. Kit Siang then suggests that Abdul Hadi Awang is going to become the Prime Minister because PAS will have 80 seats against just 40 for Umno.

If Pakatan wins just 52 seats and DAP wins 42 that means the rest will win just ten seats combined

Even if PAS wins 80 seats, as Kit Siang is suggesting, that party is not part of Barisan Nasional. The Prime Minister will come from Barisan Nasional and not from PAS. The only reason the Prime Minister is from Umno is because Umno controls more than half the seats in Barisan Nasional. And since Barisan Nasional controls more than half the seats in Parliament then Barisan Nasional becomes the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister comes from Umno.

Say Umno wins just 40 seats, as Kit Siang suggests, and PAS wins 80. That means Barisan Nasional will be down to about 90 seats. Now, with 90 seats for Barisan Nasional and 80 for PAS, that would mean Pakatan Harapan would have just 52 Parliament seats.

The total number of Parliament seats are just 222. So, if Kit Siang wants to minus 50 seats from Umno and give PAS 80 seats, that means the difference of 30 seats have to come from Pakatan Harapan. So Pakatan Harapan will be down to just 52 seats.

So what are we going to see at breakfast time the morning after the general election? We are going to see three aspirants and a hung parliament: Barisan Nasional 90 seats, PAS 80 seats, and Pakatan Harapan 52 seats.

So, to form the new government, one of these three scenarios has to happen:

1. Barisan Nasional forms a unity government with Pakatan Harapan: 142 seats (simple majority with Barisan Nasional as the Prime Minister).

2. Barisan Nasional forms a unity government with PAS: 170 seats (two-thirds majority with Barisan Nasional as the Prime Minister).

3. Pakatan Harapan forms a unity government with PAS: 132 seats (simple majority with PAS as the Prime Minister).

Hadi will be the Prime Minister in a PAS-Pakatan coalition or unity government, suggests Kit Siang

So what game is Kit Siang playing here? Kit Siang is actually telling us that Pakatan Harapan is not going to win 125 seats in the next general election. If Pakatan Harapan wins 125 seats and if PAS, Umno and the rest of Barisan Nasional win 170 seats, that means in total they win 295 seats when only 222 seats are being contested. Where did the ‘phantom’ 73 seats come from?

So Kit Siang is conning us, yet again, like he has been doing so many times before. But at least he was honest about one thing: that a coup d’état is being planned to oust Najib.

Anyway, just before we go, one interesting thing to note is what Lim Sue Goan said in Free Malaysia Today, “So, is it necessary for us to bow to the pressure from a small group of people at the expense of religious harmony and divide our people based on religion?”

That is precisely what those who defend RUU355 are saying. Those opposed to RUU35 are in the minority and yet the minority wants the majority to bow down to them. Even Lim Sue Goan does not agree with this.

Rafizi: Bekas timbalan presiden PAS Nasharudin terima wang 1MDB

Rafizi finally reveals the name of the person Bahri told him

And, today, Rafizi Ramli confirmed who allegedly received that money from 1MDB. Rafizi said it was Nasharudin Mat Isa, as what Malaysia Today already predicted he would say.

Nasharudin is the one Rafizi is accusing

Bahri is Rafizi’s source about 1MDB’s money allegedly going to PAS

Bahri adalah sumber Rafizi berkaitan tuduhan PAS terima dana 1MDB

Rafizi also said he does not have the evidence, as what he initially claimed, but was ‘reliably informed’ by someone very high up in the MACC. That ‘someone very high up in the MACC’ is Bahri Mohamad Zain who was forced to resign last year because he abused his power in a personal case involving a power struggle over a deceased’s property.

Rafizi said he is going to sign a Statutory Declaration tomorrow about being ‘reliably informed’ by someone regarding a crime that has been committed. The person who allegedly committed that crime is no longer in PAS and the crime was allegedly committed after he left PAS and the person who informed him about it is also no longer in MACC.

That, in a nutshell, is what this revelation is all about. But what is puzzling is Rafizi says the information came from the MACC and then Rafizi wants to lodge a report with the MACC. Why does he need to lodge a report with the MACC if the information came from them in the first place? Something does not quite make sense here just like Kit Siang’s analysis that three parties are going to win 295 parliament seats in the next general election when there are only 222 seats.
