Crusing into this weekend, Anwar makes another claim...he claims that he is granted audience with YDPA next Tuesday. Let's wait if this really happens, but for now.... what is the possible scenario...
The first scenario is, God forbids, another red herring. The audience was never granted and everybody got a free ride, courtesy of Anwar Ibrahim. That will be the biggest letdown for the week.
Next, the audience really happens. However, it is just Anwar and wife making courtesy call to YDPA and talking about HRH's health. Nothing more and nothing less. That will also be another big letdown and Anwar can spin tales out of the audience to bolster his claim.... it is a shallow and hollow illusion.
Now comes the better scenario... Yes, Anwar finally gets the chance to submit his list of supporters and upped Abah Din in terms of support. For the sake of argument, let's say the numbers are convincing. YDPA can pour cold water and request Anwar not to rock the boat and let status quo remains, meaning Abah Din and company still runs the country.. in whatever way Abah Din sees fit.
What is Anwar really has the numbers and YDPA acknowledge he has the numbers. What's next? YDPA can brings up the matter with Abah Din when the PM has his weekly audience before chairing weekly cabinet meeting. Here, Abah Din can propose to graciously step down and make way for Anwar to be PM9. Or, he can request for a special parliament sitting to let the MPs vote and show hands. Worst, if Abah Din decided to request for YDPA to dissolve parliament and go for early election.
If that happens, then Abah Din is truly a politician who puts his interest above the nation. Even if there is an early election, the scene will be BERSATU's humiliating demise from Malaysia's political equation.
To me, Anwar may have the support of PKR, Amanah, DAP, Warisan and Sarawak based parties plus independent UMNO MPs. That means UMNO is not the kingmaker per se. Instead, it is a show of no confidence to UMNO's stand ie (Anuar Musa's stand) to be with Bersatu's PN.
I would prefer this scenario better as this would eliminate the rakyat's perception of Anwar giving in and side dealing with Najib or Zahid on the upcoming cases. What about Pejuang and Muda? I see that Pejuang may stay neutral in this case whilst Muda may opt to support Anwar Ibrahim.
These few days will be a testing and tired times for Abah Din. Abah Din's Sabah CM has appointed PAS as one of the six selected assembly person despite public objection from STAR's Jeffrey Kitingan and PBS's Maximus. Despite a trying show of solidarity by accepting PAS in... STAR and PBS has lost its shine and seemed to be squeezed by BERSAT's peacock mannerism.
Abah Din needs to placate Jefrey fast and in placating Jefrey, Abah Din may alienate UMNO's Zahid further from the party's grassroot feeling and resentment towards Abah Din.
Me? I like the sounds of Bursa KL performance, be it because of Abah Din's rotan statement or news of Anwar's audience with YDPA. What is important is to put Malaysia back on its feet and move forward, not like Top glove who will be spending up to RM 136 million in order to overcome forced labour claims.
Will Anwar get his dream of becoming PM, will it be an answer to Malaysian hopes of getting good governance or will Abah Din still roams in his protected territory of peacocks... next week will tell...
Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
