From P Ramasamy
It is hilarious to hear that Pejuang is positioning itself to lead the opposition to fight the Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN) in the next general election (GE15) with its anti-corruption agenda.
Pejuang’s chairman and former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad thinks the party can lead the battle against Umno/BN the way it was done in the last general election (GE14) in May 2018.
Mahathir might have led PH then, but he was the same person responsible for undermining the then ruling coalition, leading to its downfall as a result of the infamous Sheraton Move.
It is not whether Pejuang can lead the PH coalition. Instead, the question is whether the coalition is going to trust Mahathir again.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Mahathir can talk about being the champion of the anti-corruption crusade in the country.

SUBANG JAYA: PKR’s vice-president Rafizi Ramli has rejected calls made by several opposition leaders for PKR and Pakatan Harapan (PH) to consider adopting the “big tent” approach to unite all opposition parties for the next general election (GE15).
Rafizi, who is running for the party’s deputy president’s post in the party’s election in May, said the time had come for the party to “start from zero” to win the hearts of voters rather than reaching out to other parties in its efforts to win back Putrajaya.
PKR and PH should learn from “past betrayals”, he told a gathering of party members, in reference to the Sheraton Move, which resulted in the coalition being betrayed by its component member, Bersatu.
Subsequently, the PH federal government fell.
“Back then, the party leadership said it had a good relationship with PAS, Umno, Bersatu and that Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi fully supported Anwar Ibrahim.
“I accepted the party’s claim and minded my business.
