Perikatan Nasional chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin said that “DAP’s dominance in the current government could make it possible for a non-Malay to be appointed as the Prime Minster.
Muhyiddin was the Home Minister in the second Mahathir government.
Would he say that Tun Mahathir was subservient to DAP when he was Prime Minister citing instances, and that was the reason for the Sheraton Move political conspiracy which toppled the second Mahathir government?
And why a person who was subservient to DAP when he was Prime Minister for the second time was appointed adviser to the four states of Kelantan,
Terengannu, Kedah and Perlis?
The instance where Mahathir was cited as subservient to DAP was Mahathir’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2018.
To use the vocabulary of the PAS President, Hadi Awang, was Mahathir a DAP Gurkha in the 22 months he was Prime Minister of the Pakatan Harapan government from May 2018–February 2020 and had to be toppled by the Sheraton Move political conspiracy?
Hadi had made wild and preposterous allegations against me which he had not been able to substantiate – that DAP and I were anti-Malay, anti-Islam, anti-Royalty, communist and promoting Islamophobia.
Does Muhyiddin agree with Hadi?
Why Muhyiddin met me in a Kuala Lumpur hotel in cloak-and-dagger circumstances in July 2016 and asked me for DAP support for him to be the seventh Prime Minister of Malaysia?
Did I become anti-Malay, anti-Islam , anti-Royalty, communist and spreading Islamophobia when I declined to support him as the seventh Prime Minister of Malaysia as the DAP was committed to Anwar Ibrahim as the Prime Minister candidate?
Would DAP be fully acceptable and nobody would be “dominant” and nobody would be “subservient” if I had supported him as the seventh Prime Minister of Malaysia in 2016?
Was Mahathir acting as DAP’s Gurkha when he announced in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly that Malaysia would ratify all the UN international covenants, which caused Hadi to go on a rampage against the DAP for masterminding the plan to ratify the International Covenant of the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (ICERD)?
In fact, DAP knew nothing about Mahathir’s speech at the UN General Assembly five years ago.
The Foreign Minister at the time is now in Bersatu.
He would be the best person to know whether Mahathir was a DAP Gurkha?
I never asked Mahathir for anything, for myself or for anyone else and never knew who he was going to appoint but I did see him once to emphasise the importance of being serious about election pledges.
Muhyiddin concurred with my statement that the Malaysian Constitution allows non-Malays to become a Prime Minister but thinks it is imminent, disagreeing with my view that a non-Malay would not become a Prime Minister of Malaysia in the next 100 years and would probably never happen.
No one can become a Prime Minister of Malaysia without the substantial support of all races in the country, especially the Malays.
But taking into consideration Muhyiddin’s views, is PN and Bersatu prepared to support an amendment of the Malaysian Constitution to provide that while a Chinese and Indian will not be Prime Minister for the next 100 years, there would be a Kadazan and Dayak Prime Minister in the next 100 years?
