Behind The Scene Of Pakatan Harapan Gomen

---

Many ask why is that DAP is so ‘silent’ when in government compared to when they were in opposition. Just imagine when you are a passenger in a bus, you are shouting and screaming at all the mistakes the bus driver is making from driving recklessly to falling asleep. Then once you are the driver, you don’t critisize yourself but quietly take actions to improve your driving and give confidence to the passengers. Imagine you panic saying that there is no breaks or you yourself shout and scream at a treacherous bend. Nobody wants to hear you they just want you to drive safely. Similarly, when DAP/PH commenced governing and if they openly critisize  their own government which should not be the case as it does instill confidence until they realised they were the bus drivers. The Westminster system of government does not condone MPs critising the government in public except asking questions in parliament which is allowed. Many people don’t understand this and they criticise in particular DAP Ministers from taking fat salaries and perks for position which is not really true. In public you must be seen as one football team, in the locker room you can fight

 I was told that DAP ministers are very vocal, an example was, since end of last year Mahathir wanted to sell the entire plus highway to Maju group for RM1.5 bil, there were 3 cabinet meetings on this that the PMs department prepared the paper to approve. The first cabinet meeting DAP voiced that how can you sell to one party without a tender. PMO invited others to participate, in the meeting , Tun Daim and others submitted with Widad group offering RM5.4 billion. TDM was disappointed with the tender results. He was upset.

Give you another example, the YTL power plant, Paka is expiring, YTL wanted an extension after 30 years. Minister Yeo Bee Yin rejected the offer of extension as the government now can operate the plant on its own. 

Sultan of Trengganu’s henchman wanted to build a new power plant in Paka. Yeo Bee Yin rejected it as Malaysia actually has excess power by almost 40%, why do we need this power plant when the cabinet has approved that renewal energy should be 25% by 2025. The Sultan wrote to TDM who in turn endorsed the power plant and sent it to Yeo. She sent the paper to the Energy Commission which rejected the proposal citing the reasons. Then the Sultan is believed to summon the members of the commission to the palace to get them to agree with his proposal. They had no choice but to submit a report to cabinet. DAP and Yeo Bee Yin who refused to support as all IPPs in principle must be rendered and moreover we don’t need them.

TDM lost face with the Sultan and told everyone that DAP is blocking it. 

A friend very close to TDM actually said the most reliable and clean party is DAP. The most hardworking Ministers are also DAP, for the Covid crises package announced by TDM, the weekend of the Sheraton move, DAP ministers, Tony Pua and others were burning the midnight oil for 4 nights preparing the plan and its details while Azmin and his own party members were politicking for power struggle. 

Sometimes we only see what is reported and don’t know the fights and sacrifices that people are making behind the scenes.

In the 3rd cabinet meeting, TDM said Maju will also reduce the toll by 18% like the rest and was citing Malay agenda. DAP and Amanah spoke up against this as the price was too low and PKR later joined in. TDM was so angry and felt like the whole cabinet was against him and he did not have any control and differed the agenda.

DAP allowed EPF, who is one of the biggest shareholders to speak to the press. Firstly they said they had no intention to sell because EPF is already getting very good returns and EPF does not need this money because in one month they get the kind of money Maju is offering. The whole matter was defused and Plus offered 18% reduction in toll all round.

They can only speak in cabinet because they are part of the government, the bus driver.

DAP has done a great job in check and balance within PH and would not allow TDM to bulldoze his way despite being accused of being mute and subservient to TDM by Chinese societies and MCA supporters.

Closed door MCA never voiced against UMNO because many times Wee has been reminded that he did not win that seat on his own but due to UMNO’s generosity. In PH no MP owes his seats to any party that’s why they can oppose and argue in closed doors. 

Where else DAP has managed to stop some of the projects TDM wanted cronies to do including the 3rd national car by not giving funds. 

They actually stopped the gravy train so many Bersatu and UMNO guys living on handouts were upset. We don't need to be too swift to pass blanket judgment on all PH politicians for the failed state we are now in. 

Look at the bright side. At least we now know who these architects of deep state are. They try to throw in the spanner at every progress PH is trying to make. So much good intentions for the country has been sabotaged by these elements. Now these elements have jumped ship as PH is sinking. I like to think this PH ship has gone slimmer, became a lean fighter, can move and maneuver faster than the oil tanker government of the present day. A few good men and women left is a good enough reset for PH . Let's not totally write them off yet.

Some DAP fellas did talk too much in public when PH was ruling. Though their intentions were good, it made the Malay fearful as they had been brainwashed by racists over the years that DAP is anti everything Malay and DAP is in control of PH. May sound stupid to most of us but not to others. TDM is still the same fella as before.

Wonder why? They don’t want to be used by them. Further, Mahathir has his own selfish battles, meaning he wants to be PM again as an ego trip because he has been betrayed by PAS and his very own party Bersatu. If he walks back with splinter Bersatu members back into the coalition then he would be nothing as seen as PH has now appointed Anwar as the opposition leader and not him. If he can garner enough MPs to his side to kick Moo put them they would support him, failing which they are happy to buy popcorn and watch the drama in the sidelines. 

He now needs Warisan as a block so that he has some leverage in PH. He has lost the trust of PH. He is, may die as a bitter old man now that everyone has abandoned him. Even Tun Daim that he supports don’t want to give him access to the financial resources. Deep down inside he is so angry with Malays for betraying him, even the party members that he founded both Bersatu and UMNO. Seems like all had enough of him and his selfish motives, he dragged on reforms when he had time to do it and now time is no longer on his side.
