COMMENT | What would Mahathir's cabinet look like, now that he has a free hand to make appointments?

| Call it a coup, power struggle or even opportunist strategy. The soon-to-be 95-year-old interim Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has staged a classic ‘Sun Tzu’s Art of War’ in the face of the coveted premiership seat.None of the factions in the Pakatan Harapan then could ever predict Mahathir’s reaction after the fiery and heated presidential council meeting last Friday that supposedly ended with a ‘unanimous’ consensus.

Gabungan Parti Sarawak and Parti Warisan Sabah – hailed as ‘kingmakers’ to break the current deadlock from the ‘Sheraton Move’ – will be one of the major factors for Mahathir’s interim cabinet.to seek a new mandate from the electorate.

However, he is of the opinion that former defence minister and Sembrong MP Hishammuddin Hussein and his team may disagree with the proposal. Mahathir refused to play into the hands of either side and announced his sudden resignation. He is seen as taking the opportunity to reset the political landscape and avoid politics along racial and religious lines.“I think the split was not a split, but Mahathir is playing a ‘game’.

“Interestingly, it is not like him to appoint technocrats. The only prominent technocrat under him is Tok Pa . The rest came after him,” Chin opined.“I am of the view that Mahathir may announce his cabinet similar to the likes of the Indonesian president Joko Widodo’s second-term cabinet in 2019,” he added.

I can only say Dr Mahathir has checked mate all these ‘political analysts’ as well. Just watch. None of what they predicted will happen. Dr Mahathir will return as PM. Many of his Harapan Cabinet will return with some changes - of course.

You are beautiful and so wise, old man. May Allah bless you and your family.

Mahathir chedetofficial will appoint a no political party Cabinet and life goes on in Malaysia until GE15 in 2023. And those political parties who cannot agree with this can go bang your heads on the wall.

So skrg ni Tun sorg je jd menteri kan Gaji bulan depan kira cane? Skali ngan jawatan menteri lain triple la kan?

He don’t have any move any more as this nation is going down with him to bankruptcy in 6 month time !!! With this financial situation and world economic going for recession !!!
