SEPTEMBER 24 ­— Should Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s short stint as Prime Minister come to an end soon, who is to be blamed? Half of the fault lies with Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin while the other is squarely on Muhyiddin himself for trusting Hamzah as his chief political operator. And, Sabah would be the “beginning of the end” for Muhyiddin and Hamzah.

Hamzah is well-versed with old politics. However, the problem for him now is that the once mighty Umno is no longer powerful nor feared. And no amount of resources the party has can help it gain the upper hand when the margin in Parliament is razor-thin. After the 18th May Parliament opening by the King, I have been telling friends and foes alike that Hamzah’s usefulness to Muhyiddin has diminished as there would hardly be anyone crossing the floor after seeing how close the margin was.

Former Sabah Chief Minister Tan Sri Musa Aman was released from his 46 counts of corruption charges on 9th June. Hamzah then went on multiple “shopping spree” tours in Sabah that resulted in Musa Aman announcing that he had obtained majority on 29th July which led to Shafie’s counter move of seeking the dissolution of the Sabah State Assembly on 30th July.

The list goes on. One mistake after another. More surprisingly, given that Bersatu’s Datuk Seri Hajiji Mohd Noor or Umno’s Datuk Seri Bung Mokhtar Radin were no match to Shafie in stature, Muhyiddin’s minders decided to make him the “candidate” in the Sabah state election.
