Why Anwar for PM9? Takde orang lain ke?
And that is why Anwar Ibrahim is DAP’s and Pakatan Harapan’s choice for PM9. It is not that Anwar is their best choice. It is that after eliminating those who are not suitable or are not qualified to be PM9, they are left with only Anwar. So, it is either Anwar or no one.
NO HOLDS BARRED

The article “Anwar Yang Tidak Jujur” by Dr Nazmi Airil Osidea and published in Kelab Che Det’s Facebook page more or less sums up Anwar Ibrahim perfectly (READ HERE).
But the question is: why does DAP or Pakatan Harapan still want Anwar Ibrahim as their candidate for prime minister or PM9? Anwar is seriously damaged. Can’t they find someone else from amongst 32 million Malaysians as a suitable candidate for prime minister?
The problem is, the Federal Constitution of Malaysia says the person who becomes prime minister must be “a member of the House of Representatives who in the judgment the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is likely to command the confidence of the majority of the members of that House” — Article 43(2)(a)
In short, the prime minister must be one of the 222 MPs who has the support of not less than 112 MPs.
It is either Anwar or no one from Pakatan Harapan for PM9
Let us say Pakatan Harapan wins 112 parliament seats in GE15. More than 60 of those MPs would be non-Malays or non-Muslims, leaving only 50 or so Malay-Muslim MPs. Hence the pool of candidates from which to choose PM9 would be only 50 MPs, not 112 MPs, or 222 MPs (or 32 million Malaysians).
Those 50 or so Malay-Muslim MPs would basically be from PKR and Amanah (and maybe a handful from DAP). But Amanah will not have enough seats to qualify for PM9. And the DAP Malay MPs also cannot be PM9 or else people will say DAP calls the shots and controls the government.
So, in the end, PM9 must come from PKR.
Anwar is Pakatan’s choice for PM9 because he is a one-eye man in the land of the blind
Anwar will make sure that none of the PKR candidates are far better than him or are more qualified to become PM9. Anwar wants to be prime minister. Hence he has to be the best of the PKR Malay MPs.
In short, through process of elimination, take out the non-Malay MPs, the non-Muslim MPs, the DAP MPs, the Amanah MPs, the less qualified PKR MPs, etc., you are left with Anwar as the last man standing or the lone man standing. Simple!
And that is why Anwar Ibrahim is DAP’s and Pakatan Harapan’s choice for PM9. It is not that Anwar is their best choice. It is that after eliminating those who are not suitable or are not qualified to be PM9, they are left with only Anwar. So, it is either Anwar or no one.
