‘A LOT OF THINGS COULD HAPPEN BEFORE PAKATAN MEETING ON FEB 21′ – KIT SIANG EXPOSES HADI & CO: WAH…SINCE WHEN DID PAS’ MOSQUITO MPs BECOME CONSTITUTIONAL EXPERTS? STICK TO YOUR MERCEDES BENZES – THE MORE YOU PANIC OVER PAKATAN FULFILLING ITS ELECTION PROMISE FOR ANWAR TO SUCCEED MAHATHIR, THE LESS VOTERS WILL LAUGH AT YOU

Why are PAS leaders panicking over Pakatan Harapan fulfilling its general election promises on power transition on Friday?

Three days ago, I asked: “Will PAS leaders and Opposition opportunists continue to stir the pot, hoping to perpetuate the perception that the Pakatan Harapan federal government is on its last legs?”

I had said that the “political situation should have stabilised after Anwar met Mahathir on Thursday and said that the Pakatan Harapan agreement of January 7, 2018 on the appointment of Mahathir as the seventh Prime Minister and the transition of power from Mahathir as the seventh Prime Minister to Anwar as the eighth Prime Minister would be finalised at the Pakatan Harapan presidential council on Feb. 21” but that “the prophets of doom and naysayers believed otherwise, claiming that a lot of things could happen before the PH presidential council meeting on Feb. 21”.

I have been proven right.

Why are PAS leaders panicking over Pakatan Harapan fulfilling its general election promise on power transition on Friday?

Suddenly, the PAS leaders seem to be constitutional experts and fit for high judicial office, whether they are grounded in the law or not.

It is one of the blessings Malaysians should be thankful for that these PAS leaders do not occupy the high judicial posts in the land.

One PAS leader with legal background said that discussions of Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad handing over the reins to Anwar Ibrahim infringes on the authority of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

I wonder where he studied his law.

Another said the Pakatan Harapan presidential council had no locus standi to determine the next Prime Minister.

May be, if some basic intelligence test is needed, there will be less of such nonsense from political leaders.

But the long and short of such outpouring from PAS leaders is that they do not want Pakatan Harapan to honour its general election promises.

And yet, PAS leaders are the most ferocious in attacking Pakatan Harapan leaders for not delivering on its general election promises.

Can PAS leaders make up their mind, after they had teamed up with kleptocrats and invented “shariah-compliant” lies after the 14th General Election?

‘Harapan presidential council has no locus standi to determine next PM’

Pakatan Harapan presidential council has no locus standi (legal standing) to determine the next prime minister, said Pasir Mas MP Ahmad Fadhli Shaari.

He added that only members of Parliament can do so.

Any decision from the presidential council meeting will not affect the position of the prime minister, Fadhli was quoted as saying by Malay daily Sinar Harian.

He said the coalition don’t have the majority support from MPs in the Dewan Rakyat.

“Based on that factor, my view is that the Harapan presidential council has no local standi to determine the next prime minister.

“Harapan senior leadership council can come out with a decision but it will not affect the prime minister’s position as only MPs have the say,” Fadhli said.

His comment came amid talks of power transition from Dr Mahathir Mohamad to PKR president Anwar Ibrahim.

He also challenged the presidential council to get Mahathir to step down as soon as possible during the council meeting on Feb 21.

Previously, Anwar had said that he believed a specific transition date would be discussed during the meeting.

On the other hand, PAS has been pushing for Mahathir to stay on for a full term and wants to initiate a vote of confidence.

On Feb 14, Mahathir said there are people who wanted him to stay on as prime minister for another “22 years” but assured that he would leave after the conclusion of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Kuala Lumpur in November.

The Harapan presidential council had in the last general election endorsed Mahathir as its leader on the condition that Anwar, who was at the time in prison, would succeed him before the end of his (Mahathir’s) term. No fixed timeline was provided.

However, Anwar’s rivals in PKR and the opposition have allegedly worked to block the transition plan. – mkini
