Yesterday, in answering the question as to whether Umno and Pakatan Harapan should team-up for the 15th general election, I noted that it held the promise of helping drive the nation towards political stability, economic growth and improved race relations.
For decades the DAP has been reviling Umno and its leaders as being corrupt and abusing their powers. Some of its leaders accuse Umno of curtailing the rights of non-Malays through its policies while in power all these years, turning non-Malays into second-class citizens. PKR has been struggling for so long to achieve power that it won’t easily acquiesce as it did when Dr Mahathir Mohamad, then leader of PPBM, took the reins following PH’s victory in 2018. PKR has learned a lesson: there will be no passing the baton this time around; they’ll want the baton upfront.The PH administration was scuttled largely by two issues: One was Anwar’s desire to be PM within two years of victory and Mahathir’s reluctance to hand over power.
PH will be wary of Umno because it does not want to be stabbed in the back again, as happened when the PH government collapsed due to the work of what it calls “traitors” within PPBM and PKR. There can be no doubt, therefore, that the MCA will attempt to dissuade Umno from working with the DAP. The MCA and the DAP have traditionally contested in almost the same seats in constituencies with a large non-Malay population or a mixed population. In the event of a coalition or pact, big brother DAP will stake a claim to contest more seats than the MCA in GE15 and the latter won’t take that sitting down.
Don't think so. Different in ideology will just increase the probability of having conflicts. Remember Bersatu? Assuming that GE15 will be won by UMNO-PH, then, there will might be 'Langkah Sheraton' 2.0. To add, PH will lose its credibility and the rakyat's confidence in them.
My 5🪙 opinion... at current political scenario who really need 🪜 to climb to the power..UMNO lost its grip about 3years ago while PKR never reached the top...my worry is at the end, once reached thr peak one of them try to kick the his partner to sustain in power
