And now the good news: Mahathir will NOT hand over to Anwar
KTemoc Konsiders
Even though Pakatan went to the last election on that basis (of Anwar taking over as PM), Mahathir appears not to be bothered by such manifesto BS, as he had previously indicated his disdain for such (to him, nonsensical) pledges.
Rais Yatim is saying so deliberately and in your face so as to check (for the Old Man) coalition partners’ reaction to this to-be-broken promise. If PKR (minus the Dwarfs) and the DAP keep quiet, Anwar Ibrahim is a goner.
There are already (deliberately spread??) rumours that the younger set of DAP politicians favour Azmin over Anwar, wakakaka. It’ll be a miracle if DAP pollies ever like or trust Azmin and his Dwarfs.
Anyway, whether Mahathir wants Azmin or Muhyiddin to take over as 8th PM to prepare the grounds for Mukhriz to be 9th PM is a separate subject but which was discussed in my earlier post (2 days ago) titled Azmin-Haziq saga – plot after plot, set to hentam Anwar.
Verdict thus far: 101% Mahathir will NOT hand over to Anwar.
And in my yesterday’s post What does Mahathir mean by “… or so” in staying on as PM? he has been obviously and deliberately ambiguous as to when he will hand over to Anwar, with that ‘… or so’ possibly meaning 5 years (full term), so I asked:
Mahathir said he need “2 more years or so” to resolve the national debt problem. Anwar was a far better FM than Mahathir, so why has it to be only Mahathir who can solve the national debt? And WTF is Lim GE doing?
More importantly, what does Mahathir mean by “… or so” in terms of his desire to stay on as PM?
Rais has let the ‘cat out of the bag’ in his announcement, maybe deliberately so to ‘test the waters’ as to how the Malaysian public and coalition members react to such a Mahathir intention – oh, the Old Man is deviously Machiavellian.
But underlying his treacherous well-known nastiness has been his personal invincible hatred for Anwar Ibrahim (in as much as he hates Najib and KJ, all three responsible for affecting or threatening his sons).
And Rais Yatim really poked his grubby fingers into our faces and eyes when he said:
Mahathir was in no hurry to step down.
“He got his third national car programme. He got a good list of things to do that he does not need to leave just now.
