Unity Govt Hits Road Bump


By Joceline Tan, StarIt may be back to square one for Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad given that PAS and Umno have refused to go along with him to form a government of friends and enemies.TUN Dr Mahathir Mohamad went to bed on Monday as the the newly-appointed interim Prime Minister, unsure whether he would want to return permanently to the top job
He had reportedly told PAS and Umno leaders, whom he met earlier, to throw their support behind Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as the next prime minister
His resignation as Prime Minister and chairman of Bersatu had thrown the country into confusion
However, the Bersatu leaders who held a special meeting on Monday evening rejected Dr Mahathir’s resignation as the party chairman and insisted they wanted him back as the Prime Minister
It was unclear whether the decision was conveyed to Dr Mahathir that very night but he appeared to have had a change of heart by yesterday morning
He donned his trademark bush jacket and left for work
But it was a day of work and lots of politics because he had a string of meetings lined up with leaders from his former Pakatan Harapan coalition, Umno, PAS, Gabungan Parti Sarawak and Datuk Seri Azmin Ali, who was recently sacked from PKR
Dr Mahathir had stunning news for them – he was planning to form a “unity government” comprising of parties from both sides of the political divide
It was the latest bombshell in what has been an intriguing and crazy time in Malaysia’s politics that saw the Pakatan government fall apart on Monday after Muhyiddin pulled Bersatu out of Pakatan, followed by the pro-Azmin group
Their move was to pave the way for a new government that also included Umno and PAS. However, it was reportedly done without the blessings of Dr Mahathir who was reportedly very upset
As the government crumbled, political leaders from both sides of the divide began pledging support for Dr Mahathir and pleading with him to retract his resignation
The joke going around then was that since Dr Mahathir had support from all parties, he could form a government without any opposition and Parliament would become one big happy family
But the joke appeared to have become reality by yesterday, although not everyone was amused
Dr Mahathir’s unity government would require friends and enemies to come together to form the government
It was bizarre to say the least because as everyone knows, DAP cannot stand Umno or PAS and vice versa
As such it was no surprise that PAS and Umno immediately rejected the idea on the ground that they could not accept the idea of working with DAP
Umno and PAS leaders were still dressed in their formal dark suits and songkok, having come from the Palace, when they held a press conference to announce that they would not be part of the unity government
They also urged for a snap general election
The irony was that their audience with the King had been to declare support for Dr Mahathir as Prime Minister
And there they were, just hours later, pulling out support for Dr Mahathir to form the unity government
Of course their argument was that the conditions for their support had changed and they were entitled to withdraw
It was the latest twist and turn in what had been a roller coaster political ride
It used to be that a week is a long time in politics but these days, even an hour is too long
The other irony is that after the drama of the last few days, it may be back to square one for Dr Mahathir
The signs are that he will probably be Prime Minister of a reconstituted Pakatan Harapan with some changes here and there
It is unclear whether Azmin’s group will be part of the government but the fact that Dr Mahathir had also met with Azmin yesterday suggests that the elder man has not written him off
Dr Mahathir has no intention to heed the calls for a snap general election
His priority is the economy and he is now in a position to form a new government and put the right people in the right portfolio to bring the country forward
It is strange but the crisis of the last few days has actually strengthened his hand
It is clear that he remains the most experienced pair of hands in these troubled times, the centre of gravity in a messy political arena. He must have been amused at how the very people who were trying to push him into retirement just a few days ago are now pleading with him to stay on
A political crisis has been averted and Dr Mahathir now has the clout to get things back to normal
