Will Shafie Apdal sink or swim with Mahathir? FMTNews ShafieApdal MahathirMohamad Sabah Warisan
It was a short lived relationship: Warisan being on the outside of Pakatan Harapan but supporting the ruling coalition.
No one is really sure what “not part of” but “support” means. Does it mean the supporting bloc will tow the line as part of collective decisions at Cabinet level or have the right to reject policies which are not in line with its party stand or ideology?At best it’s a loose coalition for the purpose of forming a government. What kind of government is still open to speculation as PN does not have a manifesto or the mandate from the majority of voters in GE14.
Its ironic that Muhyiddin Yassin and Shafie Apdal were the ones who triggered the downfall of former prime minister Najib Razak but have now ended up in different camps. Maximus Ongkili from PBS is back in the government looking after Sabah and Sarawak affairs but is there a glimmer of hope for the rights of Sabah and Sarawak as in the Malaysia Agreement 1963 ?
The issue of illegal immigrants, oil royalty and state autonomy are still issues brought forward from yesteryears. “Kita gigit jari sahaja” would be the resounding sound. The previous tourism minister, Mohamaddin Ketapi, from Sabah, was a full minister. Again, we should not expect any miracle from Jeffrey as the world is still struggling from the fallout of Covid-19 and travel is far from the minds of many people.
