DAP man foresees ‘3 kingdoms, total war’ in GE15

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia could see a “battle of the three kingdoms” in the 15th general election (GE15), says DAP’s Liew Chin Tong.

Speaking on Bandar Utama assemblyman Jamaliah Jamaluddin’s online talk show ‘Spill The Tea, JJ’, he said the “three kingdoms” comprised Pakatan Harapan (PH) on one side, Umno on another, and a third force which will see Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob together with Bersatu and PAS.

With minimal changes in Ismail’s Cabinet, Liew claimed the current line-up would not be well-received by the Umno leadership as it showed party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi losing out to Bersatu’s Muhyiddin Yassin.

This would have “big implications” for GE15, where certain Umno leaders may decide to go against Ismail’s coalition.

“This is a possibility. Ismail, Annuar Musa and Umno leaders who are part of the government are prepared to contest with Bersatu and PAS. But there is Zahid’s group which is not ready to compromise with Bersatu.
