Why NOT Muhyiddin Yassin?

 

That is the problem. People like me who can think are realistic and pragmatic. People like the Pakatan Harapan bunch are bodoh-sombong. Their mouth moves faster than their brain. They are merely omong kosong saja. Cakap buat sedap mulut, but totally devoid of logic and common sense.

NO HOLDS BARRED

Raja Petra Kamarudin

Many people ask me, “Why Muhyiddin Yassin?” These are people who appear puzzled as to why I support Muhyiddin Yassin as Prime Minister or PM8.

That question can also be asked another way: why NOT Muhyiddin Yassin? Can those people who are asking the question ‘why Muhyiddin Yassin’ answer the question ‘why NOT Muhyiddin Yassin’?

Some responses I received as to why not Muhyiddin Yassin are:

1. Muhyiddin is a traitor.

Traitor to whom? He has not betrayed PAS. Maybe the Muhyiddin critics feel he has betrayed DAP and PKR. But that is not a betrayal in my book. That makes Muhyiddin a Malay hero.

2. There is a better person than Muhyiddin.

Who? Who is this better person than Muhyiddin? Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad? Anwar Ibrahim? Shafie Apdal? Lim Kit Siang? Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail? Mat Sabu? Khalid Samad? Lim Guan Eng? Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah? Hishammuddin Tun Hussein?

If you ask me who I personally want as the alternative Prime Minister to Muhyiddin, I would name Tok Guru Abdul Hadi Awang. But I know many of you would not agree to him. So, to be realistic (unlike the Pakatan Harapan people) I will refrain from proposing Tok Guru Hadi as PM9.

So, you see, I am a realist and pragmatist. I deal in realism, not fantasy. Through the process of elimination, I eliminate all those “not possible” and see who I end up with. And after eliminating Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Anwar Ibrahim, Shafie Apdal, Lim Kit Siang, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Mat Sabu, Khalid Samad, Lim Guan Eng, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, etc., I end up with Muhyiddin.

If not Muhyiddin then who?

If you have another candidate other than Muhyiddin Yassin, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Anwar Ibrahim, Shafie Apdal, Lim Kit Siang, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Mat Sabu, Khalid Samad, Lim Guan Eng, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, and Abdul Hadi Awang, please let me have the name. Then we can discuss the possibility of this person as PM9.

It’s no point talking about Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, and all those fairy tales. Talk about what is possible, not the impossible. You are only able to say who you DO NOT want as Prime Minister. But you are unable to say who should replace the person you do not want.

Do you seriously think Mahathir will allow Anwar to become PM9 or Anwar will allow Mahathir to become PM9? Do you think Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng and Abdul Hadi Awang will get support from all communities? I can think of Ismail Sabri as one possibility. But do you think Najib Tun Razak and Ahmad Zahid Hamidi will allow Ismail Sabri to take over as PM9?

Ku Li has been PM-in-waiting for 45 years since 1976, longer than Anwar has

If Ku Li can become Prime Minister it would have happened back in 1990. Why now, more than 30 years later? The train left the station a long time ago as far as Ku Li is concerned.

So, who else? Wan Azizah? Shafie Apdal? Mat Sabu? Khalid Samad? Hishammuddin Tun Hussein?

That is the problem. People like me who can think are realistic and pragmatic. People like the Pakatan Harapan bunch are bodoh-sombong. Their mouth moves faster than their brain. They are merely omong kosong saja. Cakap buat sedap mulut, but totally devoid of logic and common sense.
