While most of the political analysts and leaders of ruling party dismissed Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s dramatic claim that he had enough defectors to seize power in forming next federal government, Malaysia's former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad ostracizing thinks otherwise and questioning the loyalty of the Sabahan and Sarawakian politicians to Abdullah's government.Ironically, the current Malaysian political scenario arises created two political schools of thought. It has allowed partisan politicians to think more clearly about the real issues that matter and not get caught up in the absurd rhetoric political assumption. The political absurdity and political irrationality does not help to reach a very clear picture and enhance the political analysis.
Regardless the diffused political situation, Malaysia's former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad warned Wednesday that the opposition led by his former deputy and now Parti Keadilan Rakyat de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim could seize power from Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's to form the next federal government in the near future as it had convinced more than 30 BN Members of Parliament to cross over.
“If we take Umno, MCA and MIC, they have their roots here but not in Sabah and Sarawak. Although you have Umno in Sabah, it is transplanted from here to there. They are used to smaller parties, so can we be sure that they will remain strongly loyal to Umno? I don’t think so.”“I feel very strong, it can really happen. I first wanted to dismiss this possibility but on studying the situation I feel that there is great danger.”
“Well, I think it is a possibility that you can’t dismiss lightly. Now, these politicians are interested in how much they get, they are not interested really in serving the nation.”
“People who feel that they did not get what they wanted presently and they are offered positions, the urge to cross over especially when there is no inherent loyalty to the party.”
