Mahathir and Kit Siang are like two gays marrying


But then this is merely an academic discussion and will apply only if Pakatan Harapan wins GE14. But that is never going to happen and the more important question is not whether Barisan Nasional is going to win GE14 but whether Barisan Nasional is going to win GE14 with a two-thirds majority.

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Raja Petra Kamarudin

The marriage between Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Lim Kit Siang is like two gays getting married. The only problem is one is male who likes males and hates females while the other is female who likes females and hates males. So it is a mismatched marriage of epic proportions.

Mahathir tells the non-Malays his objective is to defeat Barisan Nasional to save Malaysia from Umno. He then tells the Malays his objective is to oust Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak to save Umno from extinction.

That is precisely the same thing he told the world 12 years ago in 2006. He told the non-Malays his objective is to defeat Barisan Nasional to save Malaysia from Umno. He then told the Malays his objective is to oust Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to save Umno from extinction.

And with that campaign as the backdrop, Barisan Nasional lost 82 parliamentary seats and five states and Abdullah was forced by his own party to step down 11 months later.

But then, before Abdullah stepped down, Mahathir negotiated with two possible successors for the post of Malaysia’s Sixth Prime Minister. One was Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and the other was Najib Tun Razak.

Earlier, in a public forum organised by Khir Toyo in Hotel Singgahsana in Petaling Jaya, Mahathir announced that the next Prime Minister after Abdullah must agree to be ‘guided’ by a Council of Elders (which he called ‘Presidential Council’). And this Council of Elders will be headed by Mahathir himself.

Razaleigh rejected Mahathir’s condition for the Council of Elders or Presidential Council becoming the de facto Prime Minister

So, whoever becomes Abdullah’s successor must agree to this condition.

Tengku Razaleigh said go to hell. If he is the Prime Minister then he will decide what to do and no Council of Elders is going to become the de facto Prime Minister with him reduced to a puppet on a string. Najib very wisely agreed to Mahathir’s terms — just like Abdullah agreed to Mahathir’s terms before that in 2002.

After Abdullah became Prime Minister in November 2003 he did a U-turn and ignored Mahathir. That was why Mahathir ousted Abdullah. Najib did the same. After he became Prime Minister in April 2009 he, too, ignored Mahathir. And that, too, is why Mahathir wants to oust Najib.

In fact, Mahathir grumbled that Najib ignored him for six months and refused to take his calls. And that is why, Mahathir said, he has no choice but to oust Najib. At least Mahathir is honest about why he wants to oust Najib.

Abdullah also rejected Mahathir’s Council of Elders and got ousted from office

So Mahathir has his objective while Kit Siang has his objective. And both these objectives do not meet in the middle. It is like Mahathir and Kit Siang having conflicting sexual tastes and having sex with each other is not in their taste buds. But they will still sleep in the same bed and pretend to be married while they have sex with different people and not with each another.

There is no love or even sexual lust between Mahathir and Kit Siang. They are married for only one objective: to oust Najib. And once Najib is ousted, if he is ousted, Mahathir and Kit Siang will have to get divorced. And the divorce battle is going to be fierce: worse than when Kit Siang divorced PAS in 2015.

That is what happens when two gays get married — one who is male who likes males and hates females and the other who is female who likes females and hates males. Finally they will detest each other and cannot stand the sight of each other.

But then this is merely an academic discussion and will apply only if Pakatan Harapan wins GE14. But that is never going to happen and the more important question is not whether Barisan Nasional is going to win GE14 but whether Barisan Nasional is going to win GE14 with a two-thirds majority.
