KUCHING, Sept 23 — Santubong MP Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said today that Parti Keadilan Rakyat president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was not thinking of the country’s best interest when he claimed to have the majority in Parliament.

The Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu supreme council member said he was concerned that Anwar’s announcement could cause political instability and frighten off investors.

“Anwar was not thinking about the country, the people or the economy. He was not thinking about things like that, he was only thinking of becoming the prime minister,” he said when contacted by Utusan Borneo.

Wan Junaidi, who is the Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister, also explained that not anyone can ask the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to appoint them as prime minister when the seat is not vacant.

He said when Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was appointed as the prime minister in March this year, it happened after Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had resigned from the post.

Wan Junaidi added that Article 43 of the Federal Constitution, clearly states that the King has no power to dismiss the prime minister but only to appoint the prime minister when there was a vacancy or when the serving prime minister had lost confidence in parliament.

“Where is the proof (that Muhyiddin has lost confidence)? Was it through a Parliament session, was there a motion tabled? None. Statutory declarations cannot be used,” said Wan Junaidi.

He also pointed out that the weekly federal Cabinet meeting was held as usual today and this showed that the Perikatan Nasional government under Muhyiddin was still intact in spite of Anwar’s claims.

Wan Junaidi believed that Anwar had made the announcement to influence the Sabah state polls this Saturday.

At a press conference in Kuala Lumpur this morning, Anwar had claimed to now have a “strong, formidable majority” to form the next government, adding that Muhyiddin’s government had fallen.

However, he refused to reveal just how many of the Dewan Rakyat’s 222 members are now with him or from which party they are from, pending an audience with the Yang-di Pertuan Agong. — Borneo Post

Anwar claims parliamentary majority: What are the potential implications for Malaysia’s political scene?

KUALA LUMPUR: Amid intense campaigning in the final days of the Sabah state polls on Wednesday (Sep 23), it was not the proceedings in East Malaysia that drew public attention.

In Kuala Lumpur, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim declared that he had “strong, convincing” support from the majority of Members of Parliament to form a new government.

He was scheduled to meet the king on Tuesday, but the royal audience was postponed as the king was unwell and had to be hospitalised.

In his press conference, Mr Anwar said the government led by Mr Muhyiddin Yassin has effectively fallen, but the latter dismissed his claim as mere allegation. "Until proven otherwise, the Perikatan Nasional government still stands firm and I am the legal prime minister," said Mr Muhyiddin.

Here are some of the possible scenarios of how Mr Anwar's claim could affect Malaysia’s political scene:

WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN ANWAR PARLIAMENTARY MAJORITY?

Dr Oh Ei Sun, Senior Fellow at the Singapore Institute of International Affairs, said this was not the first time Mr Anwar had announced such takeover attempts, noting prior attempts after general elections in 2008 and 2014.

“Anwar is not unknown for all these stunts, so people are still thinking whether this is another ‘cry wolf’ stance. Like Jerry Maguire's ‘show me the money’, people are asking 'show me the majority,'” he said.

Similarly, Professor Dr Ahmad Martadha Mohamed, who heads the Governance and Integrity Cluster at Universti Utara Malaysia’s College of Law, Government and International Studies, pointed out that when Mr Anwar made the announcement, none of his political allies from the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition was present.

His press conference was not attended by allies such as Democractic Action Party (DAP), Parti Amanah Negara and Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan), he said.

"The people beside him were his wife Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, and PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution. It’s more like a political gimmick or stunt, similar to 2014 when he made a similar announcement, but nothing materalised,” Dr Ahmad Martadha said.

HOW WILL ANWAR'S CLAIMS AFFECT SABAH POLLS?

As for Mr Anwar’s announcement affecting the outcome of this Saturday’s state election in Sabah, Dr Oh said if Anwar did possess a majority, it would be better for Warisan president Shafie Apdal to reaffirm his support for Anwar.

“In the ‘kingmaker’ seats, which are mainly Kadazandusun-Murut seats, I think they’re still somewhat undecided between restoring Sabah rights on one hand, and development on the other if you don’t vote in federal parties.”

“So if the federal party is aligned with Shafie and Shafie reaffirms his support for Anwar, then it’s alright, they’ll vote for the Shafie side, either UPKO or Warisan and so on.

"So it depends on Shafie’s decision,” Dr Oh said.

UPKO refers to United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation, a state-based political party in the Warisan Plus coalition.

Generally for Sabah and Sarawak, Prof Ahmad Martadha said, Mr Anwar’s announcement was not likely to have much impact, as both states generally prioritised the well-being of their own population.

“In Sabah, a lot of people are voting based on local parties and local issues,” the Kedah-based political analyst said, explaining that issues such as illegal immigration into the state had been a hot topic for the past 20 years in Sabah’s politics, along with other issues such as native land titles and infrastructure development.

“Likewise, Sarawak, and GPS (the ruling political coalition Gabungan Parti Sarawak) will play it safe, as they’re now part of the federal government, and have benefited from being in the Perikatan Nasional coalition,” said Prof Ahmad Martadha, referring to ministerial positions held by GPS MPs, as well as oil royalty payouts.

“Unless it is sure that the federal government is losing support, they’ll still consider supporting whoever can ensure their interests are protected,” he added.

WHAT OPTIONS DOES THE KING HAVE?

Both analysts explained that Malaysian King Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah has two choices to proceed, if Mr Anwar did indeed demonstrate that he has a convincing majority to form the next government.

“If the king were to grant an audience to Anwar and is convinced of Anwar’s majority and so on, he has two choices. One is to appoint Mr Anwar as prime minister, the way he did with Muhyiddin,” Dr Oh said, referring to the appointment of Mr Muhyiddin as the country's top leader following the fall of PH government early this year.

“Or be like the Sabah governor, and at Muhyiddin’s advice, dissolve parliament and allow for fresh elections,” he added.

WHERE DOES MAHATHIR STAND IN ALL THIS?

The absence of former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad and his newly-formed Pejuang party was no surprise, said Prof Ahmad Martadha.

Why this mother fucker don't go see the king first, get the mandate and then announce?

What's the point of putting out half baked statements?

I will only believe this when I actually see Anwar in Putrajaya. Till then still wishful thinking.

 

[Porfirio Rubirosa]

So the royalty is against PH?

Think this King covertly supports Najib.

Mark my words, Najib will return to Putrajaya one day. Might be sooner than some people think.

Anwar new allies are those charged with financial abuse in umno such as najib, zahid.
You think DAP or other parties want to work with these criminals?
Anwar will have a very hard time getting the numbers,.plus his reputation tainted with this move. It is essentially najib's " get out of jail" move.

It is too obvious if King give najib return.
Moreover investors may stay away if that happen.

KUALA LUMPUR: UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said on Wednesday (Sep 23) he received information that many UMNO and Barisan Nasional (BN) Members of Parliament have stated their support for opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim to form a new government.

Ahmad Zahid, who is also BN chairman, said UMNO and BN are not component parties of Perikatan Nasional (PN), so any support for the PN government comes from individual MPs.

“UMNO and BN are not able to stop MPs supporting Anwar from meeting the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to make known his intention," he said in a statement.

“I was told that many UMNO and BN MPs have voiced their support (for Anwar). I respect their decision.”

Anwar had earlier on Wednesday announced that he has garnered a "strong, formidable, convincing majority" of MPs to form a new government.

Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) president and Port Dickson MP claimed that he was supposed to have an audience with the king, but that it was postponed because the king was hospitalised.

Meanwhile, MCA president Wee Ka Siong stressed that the party, together with BN, will continue to support the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.

“In my capacity as MCA president, I wish to stress that our stance is clear and that MCA and BN fully stand by Muhyiddin. Under his leadership, the government has been able to function well and successfully contained the COVID-19 pandemic in the past six months.

"At the same time, we have revived the country's economy during these difficult times as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,” he said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.

I still think Najib will return to power one day. Just look at the success of his apa malu bossku campaign for starters.

As for foreign investors, end of the day all about making money. So if can still make money investors will go in. Just need to factor in the risk. Eg. Current de facto leader of Saudi Arabia is probably a murderer. Yet foreign countries and investors still keen on doing biz with MBS (not the casino hor!).

Agong will not take near-term meetings amid political struggle due to ill health, says palace official | Malay Mail

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25 ― Malaysia's King Sultan Abdullah will not be granting an audience to anyone for a week as he is under observation at a hospital, a palace official said today, as Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim seeks a meeting with him to form a new government.

Anwar said this week he has secured a “strong, formidable” majority from lawmakers in parliament to oust Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. But he has to convince the king that he has the numbers to form a government.

The political turmoil comes just seven months after another power struggle that led to Muhyiddin getting the premiership and could delay efforts to stabilise an economy that is reeling from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Muhyiddin, who has a razor-thin majority in parliament, has dismissed Anwar's claims of a majority and challenged him to prove it through a constitutional process.

The king plays a largely ceremonial role in Malaysia but he could appoint a prime minister who in his view is likely to command a majority in parliament. He could also dissolve parliament and trigger elections on the premier's advice.

“His Majesty has been advised by his doctors to remain at (hospital) for seven days for observation. So until then, he will not have any meetings,” palace comptroller Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin told Reuters.

Anwar was scheduled to meet with the king on Tuesday but the appointment had to be cancelled as the king was unwell and had to be taken to a hospital.

No major political party has come out in his support but the leader of the United Malays National Organisation (Umno), the largest party in the ruling coalition, said there had been defections to Anwar's camp.

In a campaign speech in Sabah state, Prime Minister Muhyiddin again questioned Anwar's claim that he has a majority, state news agency Bernama reported.

“He made a statement and when asked on the number supporting him and who have given their statutory declaration of support, he merely said to wait for the answer,” Muhyiddin said. ― Reuters

So they keep changing hands for what

TAMBUNAN, Sabah: Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin on Friday (Sep 25) questioned Anwar Ibrahim’s claim that he has obtained majority parliamentary support to form a new government.

Mr Muhyiddin said the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) president has not specified the number of Members of Parliament (MPs) who are supposedly backing him.

"He made a statement and when asked on the number supporting him and who have given their (Statutory declaration) SD of support, he merely said to wait for the answer.

"But until today I myself also do not know (the number). His claim may or may not be true," said Mr Muhyiddin at a Perikatan Nasional (PN) rally on Friday.

Mr Anwar, who is Malaysia's opposition leader, announced on Wednesday that he had secured a "strong, formidable, convincing majority" of MPs to form a government to replace the current administration led by Mr Muhyiddin.

Mr Muhyiddin said all the MPs from Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) have confirmed their support for his government and denied backing Mr Anwar.

Several UMNO MPs said to be supporting Mr Anwar have also denied backing him, said Mr Muhyiddin.

“In the few days following (Anwar’s) announcement, many statements of denial have been issued by UMNO MPs. They are not on the list.

“With their denials, I have become more doubtful (of his claim). Maybe it’s just a political statement,” he said.

Mr Muhyiddin said that Attorney-General Idrus Harun has also told him that he remains as Malaysia's prime minister.

“Maybe when the king is shown evidence (of support), if there is, then His Majesty would definitely summon me for an audience but until now I have not been called,” he said.

Meanwhile, PN's secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin described Mr Anwar’s claim as nothing more than a political gimmick.

He said it was merely Mr Anwar's "September dream" to become prime minister.

“The claim was not backed by evidence, the number of seats. In fact, our leaders who were supposedly in the list supporting Anwar have denied the matter,” Mr Hamzah said.
