The 48-hour silence of Muhyiddin and Hadi that they will not be involved in any plot to topple the Anwar Unity government for the next five years is loud and significant as it indicate that the two political leaders want Malaysia to continue to have political instability and to stumble from one crisis to another, without any hope of a recovery

The 48-hour silence of Muhyiddin Yassin and Hadi Awang that they will not be involved in any plot to topple the Anwar Unity government for the next five years is loud and significant as it indicate that the two political leaders, as well as Bersatu and PAS, want Malaysia to continue to have political instability and to stumble from one crisis to another without any hope of a recovery.

If Muhyiddin Yassin and Hadi Awang have enough Members of Parliament to vote out Anwar Ibrahim as the 10th Prime Minister in a parliamentary vote of confidence, by all means they can do so.

But they are thinking of a Sheraton Move 2 political conspiracy to remove Anwar as the 10th Prime Minister, which led to two illegitimate and unconstitutional governments which even illegally and unconstitutionally suspended Parliament for six months.

It is now discovered that during the 31 months of the two “backdoor” governments which coincided with the worst phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, Muhyiddin’s Bersatu and Hadi’s PAS, and their leaders received hundreds of millions of ringgit donations while the desperate among the B40 resorted to raise white flags to raise awareness of their plight.

Did Bersatu and Hadi use this new found wealth to relieve the sufferings of the “white flag” B40 Malaysians, instead of splashing them during the 15th General Elections campaign?

It would appear that Perikatan Nasional (PN) do not want the Anwar unity government to have any respite before recovery, that they do not welcome the 40-rankings jump in the RSF’s World Press Freedom Ranking 2023 where Malaysia jumped from 113rd ranking in 2022 to 73rd ranking in the 2023 RSF’s World Press Freedom Ranking.

From the same logic, there would be consternation in the Bersatu and PAS camps if in January next year, Transparency International’s 2023 Corruption Perception Index showed a significant improvement in the ranking and score from the 2022 TI CPI’s 61st ranking and score of 47 out of 100 marks?

Is there anybody in PAS or Bersatu who will commend the Anwar Unity Government for the 40-ranking jump for Malaysia in the RSF’s World Press Freedom Ranking 2023 or support of the Anwar unity government in anti-corruption efforts that will improve Malaysia’s ranking and score in the 2023 TI CPI?

Let Bersatu and PAS leaders speak up, for their silence is deafening!
