NSTopinion: He wants a cabinet of peers and experts, instead of a cabinet of rent-seeking party interests.

This farcical “interim” grand coalition, crowded by Umno and Pas, was momentarily waltzing in fantasyland with giddy hopes that the power rudely wrested from them in 2018 would magically rematerialise. This after the emasculated government collapsed following Bersatu’s kick-in-the-teeth pullout from Pakatan Harapan.

The Mahathir Manoeuvre was earthshakingly consequential: in giving up his dominant positions stemming from a hapless corner , he gained more, if not virtually absolute, power. And at 4.45pm yesterday, Dr Mahathir confirmed his intent for a unity government on national TV, tantalisingly void of details and no allusion at all to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as his successor.

The idea of a Unity Cabinet that attracts the best, dare we say it, a team of rivals consisting of true intellectual/thinking scientists, technocrats and technicians, some not among party politicians, will be intriguing. The story goes that key ministers sat on legitimate SME project proposals, declining to exercise discretionary powers to approve them, preferring to pass the buck to the cabinet to the point of creating a huge cabinet paper backlog.

The pragmatism has its risks: the parties backing Dr Mahathir’s sweeping plan may recoil at being “ignored” or, heavens, putting up with sworn enemies in the cabinet.

He wants a cabinet that he can become Maharaj...The people is not stupid..The people will bring you down Tun..

He actually cannot solve economic crisis now. So try to play trick

= cabinet of cronies

Endgame....The End.

Old fox never say surrender....chicken in coop would never rest

Firstly Tun could have done it before he resigned recently. Secondly it is a n experiment that has failed. Furthermore he is not entitled to change something without the concept fully understood and accepted by most people

Mahathir said, 'Politicians and political parties forget that the country is facing economic and health issues.' 'I will try to establish an administration which does not favour any party. The only priority would be the interests of the country.' Where is the cabinet of peers?

kakakah

Learned this painfully. Never trust him. His word. Is. Empty. Haha 🤣 laughter is best medicine.

Poor performing ministers and deputy ministers were from bersatu

power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely

Jgn marah nyamuk, kelambu yg dibakar

Dr M says he wants a merit-based government, not party-basedPETALING JAYA: Interim Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says he wants a Cabinet built of capable individuals that does not have to cleave to party affiliations. He creates the chaos just because he doesn't want to handover the premiership? VERYKOO3 If done earlier, post GE 14, we won’t have flying car minister, special escort minister, minister for developer, twitter minister and disunity minister. His party decided to leave PH and talked with UMNO. If UMNO is accepted en bloc (as requested by UMNO) the country will be effectively ruled by the party that had lost, because of their numbers. He couldn’t accept that, so he resigned. Fair enough to me.
