Muhyiddin considering possibility of EGM to oust Mahathir
TTF: A news report has surfaced claiming that Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was offered the position of Prime Minister by an influential individual (see news item below).
For the record, Muhyiddin was offered the post of Prime Minister not once, but seven times prior to the 14th general election.
Back when Pakatan Harapan was yet undecided on who to name Prime Minister, Muhyiddin’s closest aides were displeased that Mahathir was pushing for Dato’ Seri Mukhriz Mahathir to be named deputy.
Accordingly, they felt that Muhyiddin’s efforts to sabotage several UMNO leaders since 2009 were not appreciated by Mahathir and that the old man was treating Muhyiddin like a lap dog.
For the record, it was at Mahathir’s behest that Muhyiddin architected Dato’ Seri Mohd Ali
Rustam’s disqualification from the 2009 UMNO election and Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak’s downfall from government.
Not many are aware, that prior to Mahathir’s involvement in the 1MDB scandal, Muhyiddin became the first government leader to be approached by members of an international group led by former British premier Tony Blair on the possibility of launching a global media campaign against Najib and 1MDB.
After having been promised a lot of money, Muhyiddin approached Mahathir and told him that it was worthwhile banging Najib on allegations of fraud and power abuse.
However, in June 2016, Muhyiddin discovered that Mahathir had Mukhriz in mind as deputy president of a new party he (Muhyiddin) was supposed to lead.
In the months that followed, Muhyiddin’s men found out about a secret little pact Mahathir had quietly entered with Lim Kit Siang.
According to the pact, Mahathir was to be named Prime Minister while Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail would be made his deputy.
It was said that Kit Siang agreed for there to be two deputy premiers, with Mukriz, not Muhyiddin, serving as deputy number two.
Upon discovering this, Muhyiddin reportedly instructed his men to sabotage Mukhriz, Syed Saddiq and every other event that was organised by PPBM youth.
However, in August 2017, Muhyiddin had a tough time convincing a few of his men not to demand that he be named Pakatan’s candidate for the post of Prime Minister.
He assured them that the time would come when he would make his move to oust Mahathir.
That time is now.
Muhyiddin is well aware of an attempt by Mahathir to kick him out from PPBM.
He’s taking no chances and is busy rounding up his men for a possible Emergency General Meeting to seek Mahathir’s sacking from the party.
According to a well placed source, the EGM would be told that if Mahathir isn’t removed, ties between PPBM, the Federal Government and the Malay Rulers would forever be strained and that the Malays would ultimately pay the price.
