COMMENT | Harapan needs decisive leadership but Shafie isn't that person

“I never did give them hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell.”

- Harry S Truman, former US president

COMMENT | Does anyone have any idea what is going on with Pakatan Harapan's leadership?

If you are not a toxic Harapan supporter, you, like the rest of us on planet real, are wondering how a construct like Perkatan Nasional still manages to squeak along when the opposition is formidable - if only because the current regime is in a political quagmire with allies it has to appease all the time held to ransom by various squabbling Umno potentates.

This is pure comedy gold, right here. We have BN secretary-general Annuar Musa babbling about seat allocation for the next general election referring to the Umno coup of Perak as a "framework". This means that Bersatu was screwed over in Perak and they will be again in the next GE.

Meanwhile, Umno vice-president Mohamed Khaled Nordin has dismissed all this talk of a grand coalition and reminded everyone that such a "coalition of coalitions" was "intended to ride on the strength of the largest party, Umno". In other words, Umno intends to screw over Bersatu in the next GE.

Annuar also warned against efforts to dismantle the "No Anwar and No DAP" policy alluding to mysterious figure(s), which just goes to show you the kind of mess Umno is in. Forget about the mystery...
