'The big question is - can Muhyiddin press the button?'

That’s the impression I got when reading about Parti Warisan president Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal’s revelation last Sunday that he had received a call from Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin about forming a government.

Shafie is not the only political leader who has claimed that Muhyiddin has ambitions to become prime minister again. Two months ago, Parti Pejuang Tanah Air chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said he had rejected Muhyiddin’s cooperation proposal. The Langkawi MP referred to the February 2020 Sheraton Move that saw the collapse of the Pakatan government after several PKR MPs and Bersatu MPs, together with Umno, PAS, Gabungan Parti Sarawak and other parties and independent MPs, supported Muhyiddin to be prime minister.

But the alleged plot to overthrow the government, which Muhyiddin’s party is a part of, failed. If it had succeeded, Anwar or Muhyiddin could have become PM, or snap polls could have been called. Even before 2018’s GE14, those who followed the take-no-prisoners fight in 1998 between Dr Mahathir, the then Prime Minister and Umno president, and Anwar, the then Deputy Prime Minister and deputy Umno president, knew that if Pakatan won the election, the two leaders would not trust each other to honour their promises.

He should press the button and get out of the coalition with Umno/BN. Let the Umno led govt collapse like a house of cards.

He doesn't have the guts! PH will bang him if he press the button now!
