Power-Crazy Dictator Muhyiddin Tries To Gain Absolute Power Thru “Emergency Rule
A week ago, we published an article about how backdoor Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, in his last resort to cling to power, may use Coronavirus as an excuse to suspend the Parliament to enable him to rule with absolute power (read here). Today (Oct 23), Muhyiddin rushed to Kuantan, Pahang, to meet the Agong (King) to be conferred the “special emergency power”.
Armed with spiking Covid-19 infections as an excuse, it was already a done deal during an earlier Cabinet meeting in Putrajaya today. The attendance of top guns like Attorney General Idrus Harun, Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador, Armed Forces Chief General Affendi Buang had added suspicion that a declaration of emergency rule was on the play.
The special Cabinet emergency meeting today was specifically requested by Muhyiddin to discuss about the upcoming Budget 2021, scheduled on November 6. Hanging on a 2-seat-majority – just 113-seat in the 222-seat Parliament – the panicked prime minister appeared to have absolutely no confidence that the budget of his Perikatan Nasional government will be passed.
