Each time elected representatives switch allegiances, social media is flooded with video clips of what they preached while still with their original party. The contrast between what they said then and now can be regarded as disgusting by many of us.

When Dr Mahathir Mohamad quit Umno and decided to partner with PKR, DAP and Amanah in 2016, netizens were taken down memory lane with clips showing the leaders of these parties attacking each other fiercely in the past.

The most memorable no-holds barred clips that resurfaced included the unflattering description of PKR president Anwar Ibrahim by Mahathir soon after sacking him as his deputy prime minister in 1998. Just before GE14, he was seen shaking hands with Anwar for his support.
