My view is Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin should still drop the Abah brand and present a more uptodate, lets catch up with the future image. Thats my view. Having said that, here is a quick discussion between these two young folks (yes obviously they are supporters of TSMY) which cannot be ignored.
This is not a case of whether you agree, disagree, like or dislike TSMY. That is up to you. Remember this is still a free country. We must respect freedom of speech. Let Lim Guan Eng say what he wants. Let Hadi Awang say what he wants. Let Ramasamy in Penang say what he wants. Then you decide who you agree or disagree with. This video is very brief.
Those 59 seats won by the PAS have little to do with the PAS or Hadi Awang. The Malays voted for Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and the Perikatan Nasional.
As the speakers in the video say, more than half the Malay voters did not even know Pas was part of Perikatan Nasional. And surveys have proven that plenty Malays voted for the PN not because of Pas. Because of TSMY.
And indeed TSMY is the pacu or power-drive behind the PN.
Whether you agree, disagree, like it or not is besides the point. This is the reality on the ground with the Malay voters.
This is where the Pas boys themselves and also many non-Malays are confused. Having won 59 seats and being the largest party in Parliament the Pas boys think they have suddenly 'come of age'. They are suddenly the 'happening' people. Grossly mistaken.
In 2018, the year when the UMNO/BN lost political power after 63 years in control, when they were at their weakest until that time, the Pas fellows won only 18 Parliamentary seats. The year when UMNO/BN was thrown out of power after 63 years the Pas turned in one of their weakest election performances ever.
Just four years later in 2022 the Pas was still led by Hadi, now more nutty than ever. The party had made absolutely no changes in its trash-eology. Yet suddenly they were able to win 59 Parliamentary seats?
From 18 seats in 2018 to 59 seats in 2022. What made the difference? The answer is the PN and TSMY. The Malays voted for Perikatan Nasional and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
This is a fact. Agree, disagree, like it or not it is up to you.
The overwhelming support was for these images:
As a leader and to his credit TSMY has been consistent in his stand.
And the nasties are really frightened of TSMY.
For example I find those corruption charges against him quite intriguing. Here they are accusing him of being corrupt. But they could not find anything on him from his 40+ years in politics and public service while in UMNO/BN.
Instead they have found fault with a political donation that was paid into his Bersatu party's account.
Jangan lupa - that lebai fellow received RM90 million stolen 1MDB money but he was cleared of corruption because that was deemed a political donation. In Malaysia we have absolutely ZERO laws to monitor or govern political donations. THERE ARE NO LAWS AGAINST POLITICAL DONATIONS.
(The other fellow said he received RM2.6 Billion from a non-existent Saudi prince but paid into his personal account).
So how folks? The Malay voters are not unaware of all this. At the end of the day it is how the Malay voters cast their ballots that will determine the future on the Peninsula. (Sabah and Sarawak are no more in this equation).
My final point is - Pas is no more an asset for Bersatu or for the PN.
If Bersatu gets rid of Pas (and let Pas join Pakatan Harapan) it would be much better for Perikatan Nasional and Bersatu.
Bersatu and the PN has to project a more cosmopolitan approach and be totally inclusive. The country has changed. The Malay voter has changed.
Get rid of Pas. Get moving.
And talk to the DAP.
