Anwar made his move on Dr Mahathir and failed and paid the price for his failure. Live with that. Muhyiddin also made his move on Najib and failed, too. So he, too, is now paying that price of failure. So live with that as well.

Lies after lies after lies. When is all this nonsense going to stop?

PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang must be ousted because PAS Kelantan wants to amend the Sharia Bill that was passed by the Kelantan State Assembly in 1993.

The Sharia Bill was passed in 1993. Get that? 1993! And Pakatan Rakyat was formed 15 years later in 2008.

Why not be honest and tell us that Hadi must be ousted because he did not support the ouster of Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim? Hadi then supported Azmin Ali and not Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as the new Selangor Menteri Besar. And DAP was pissed with this.

They tell us that Khalid Ibrahim was ousted because he is a corrupt Menteri Besar. Did they show us proof of his corrupt deeds? Proof is not necessary. Instead Khalid must show proof that he is not corrupt.

What about Anwar Ibrahim? Was he able to prove he did not commit sodomy? In Anwar’s case he need not prove his innocence. Instead, the prosecution must prove his guilt.

In fact, in the first sodomy case in 1998, Anwar was sacked as the Deputy Prime Minister because he tried to oust Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. The whole world knows this and the whole world also knows that the sodomy charge, although it may be true, was used as the excuse to remove him.

Whatever it may be Anwar exposed himself to make it possible to use this as the excuse to get rid of him. But if it had not been sodomy there would have been other avenues open to Dr Mahathir to move against Anwar.

Muhyiddin Yassin, too, made a move to oust Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak. He met Azmin Ali and Lim Guan Eng and plotted to pass a vote of no confidence against Najib.

The only problem was Hadi would not join the conspiracy so they could not get enough votes. They need all the votes from Pakatan Rakyat and another 30-40 from Barisan Nasional, which Muhyiddin would deliver. Without the PAS votes they would be dead in the water.

And that was why Najib had to remove Muhyiddin. It had nothing to do with 1MDB. It was because of the vote of no confidence that Muhyiddin was planning. The 1MDB issue was going to be the excuse for the vote of no confidence.

Anwar made his move on Dr Mahathir and failed and paid the price for his failure. Live with that. Muhyiddin also made his move on Najib and failed, too. So he, too, is now paying that price of failure. So live with that as well.
