PETALING JAYA: A political analyst expects former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad to face an uphill task in his effort to bring political parties together in a unity government.
Azmi Hassan, a former lecturer with Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, said a unity government, by definition, would need to be composed of all parties that have representation in Parliament.
“There are still sentiments in Umno that Tun can’t be trusted and this feeling also runs in PKR,” he told FMT.
He said “that’s the very reason” he believed a unity government with Mahathir at the helm would be difficult to establish.
