MOTHER OF ALL COMBOS: DR M & ANWAR TIE-UP IN GE14 TO ANNIHILATE UMNO-BN IF NAJIB DOESN'T QUIT

MOTHER OF ALL COMBOS: DR M & ANWAR TIE-UP IN GE14 TO ANNIHILATE UMNO-BN IF NAJIB DOESN'T QUIT
After a long period of hostility, the spirit behind the Save Malaysia movement and the Citizens' Declaration which seeks the immediate resignation of Prime Minister Najib Razak, has brought together Tun Mahathir Mohamad and Anwar Ibrahim, who have been foes since 1998.
Starting with Anwar expressing support for the efforts made by Tun Mahathir in making the Citizens' Declaration a reality, and then citing the need to put national interest first, Anwar announcing he has already forgiven the former prime minister, it is clear the Save Malaysia movement led Kamaruddin Jaafar is becoming more focused.
Kamaruddin, the Tumpat MP, has long been known as a confidant of Anwar's. When Anwar was sacked from Umno, he (Kamaruddin) chose to join Pas and was appointed Secretary General of the party. When Pas skidded into trouble and split down the line, leading to the formation of Amanah, Kamaruddin opted to join PKR.
But whichever his party, Kamaruddin's heart and loyalty remains with Anwar. In addition, he is now the Secretary General of the Save Malaysia movement. Azmin Ali, who is also another of Anwar's right-hand men has generously provided an office for the movement.
It is learned that Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, the PKR president does not object to Kamaruddin's appointment, and this gives the impression that all the elements are in place for a meeting between Anwar and Tun Mahathir.
The Save Malaysia movement has set a goal to collect one million signatures for the Citizens' Declaration and the management will need a full-time office. Tun Mahathir has been reported to have expressed willingness to go down to the states to attend its programs.
This means, indirectly there already exists a conscious willingness for Mahathir and Anwar to work together to topple Najib.
They are not joined only in the effort to get Najib to quit immediately over the 1MDB scandal and RM2.6 billion but if the Prime Minister continues to be stubborn and refuse to step down, they will surely continue to co-operate in the upcoming general elections.
Then, the 14th General Election will witness the most intense clash that UMNO and BN have encountered, where it is not impossible that Tun Mahathir will allow himself to become the guiding hand behind the main opposition parties, except for PAS which might opt to play alone.
It will be difficult for Tun Mahathir to avoid involvement with the opposition parties if Najib does not resign and goes through with the sacking of Muhyiddin Yassin, Shafie and Mukhriz Mahathir from Umno.
If they are sacked from Umno, the three leaders can stand for election either as an independent candidate backed by Pakatan Harapan or use one of the symbols of the parties in the coalition.
With Anwar feeding ideas from within prison while Tun Mahathir rolls up his sleeves to campaign, it will be extremely difficult for Umno and BN to win and form a government.
The Tun Mahathir and Anwar combination will be a nightmare for Umno and BN, which they can only avoid if Najib is ready to resign immediately.
The choice is now in the hands of Najib not Tun Mahathir or Anwar. - http://shahbudindotcom.blogspot.my/
