A betrayal of King and country

[superadmin]

From Rahim Zainuddin

Unsuspecting, ever-hopeful Malaysians would have woken up to a shock this morning.

Last night, Umno’s Ismail Sabri Yaakob was nominated by Barisan Nasional as the next prime minister. Rumour has it that he will now emerge with Bersatu’s Hamzah Zainudin as his deputy. More shockingly, the rumour mill is abound with gossip that outgoing prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin may re-emerge as minister mentor.

This will allow Umno, Bersatu and PAS, through a game of musical chairs, to re-emerge as the country’s new administration.

What a betrayal that would be.

First, a betrayal of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, who only yesterday called on all political parties to discard “old politics” and form a unity government to safeguard the health and welfare of the rakyat and to re-energise the economy.

I wonder what His Majesty will have to say, and I look forward to the next press release from Istana Negara.
