YOURSAY | Pejuang no longer kingmaker in wake of MOU

[superadmin]

Proarte: Look at the tone of Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang) founder Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s man Khairuddin Abu Hassan - it is so crude and insulting.

Nobody in the opposition sidelined Warisan, Pejuang or Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Muda). The reality is they were sidelined by the government, which did not invite them for discussion.

Khairuddin should go crying to PM Ismail Sabri Yaakob and ask why they were “sidelined”. It is possible that the PM might tell Khairuddin that the Warisan-Pejuang-Muda trio is a mosquito party whose support he does not need.

Didn’t Mahathir “sideline” opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim since 1998 as well? Didn’t Mahathir sabotage Anwar’s chance of becoming PM in 2020 by resigning as PM and causing the Pakatan Harapan government to collapse and see his party Bersatu defect into the arms of BN and PAS? They went on to form the new Perikatan Nasional (PN) government.

While in the opposition, haven’t Warisan, Pejuang and Muda been lukewarm at best about supporting Anwar to be PM? In fact, Mahathir has been downright hostile towards Anwar.

Warisan, Pejuang and Muda are under the thumb of Mahathir and their narrow political agenda is to make sure Anwar does not become PM - it is as basic as that. I see them as trojans who are working in the interest of PN.

Harapan Plus should contest in all the seats Warisan, Pejuang and Muda plan to contest in and put them to pasture politically.

Apa Nama: Indeed, Khairuddin should ask Ismail Sabri about this instead. Perhaps your chief Mahathir wanted people to come and invite him with drums and trumpets.

By the way, who is Mahathir? He is nothing but a menace and nuisance to this country. What did he do for this country besides building white elephants and destroying the institutions that we now need to reform?

Your chief had turned this country back two to three decades. You can go and fly kites with your sidelined claim. Pejuang deserves to be sidelined.
