PETALING JAYA - The gloves are off for Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and he is preparing to strike back following the hostile moves from the Tun Mahathir Mohamad camp the past week.
Mr Sanusi, who cut his political teeth as the political secretary to the late Kedah PAS menteri besar Azizan Abdul Razak, is expected to make the requisite courtesy call on the Sultan of Kedah in the next few days. PAS sources said Mr Mukhriz had even offered them state executive councillor posts but PAS president Hadi Awang said his party was not interested in work with Parti Amanah Negara, a breakaway party from PAS.
He was menteri besar for barely three years from 2013 to 2016, before he was sacked by then Prime Minister Najib Razak.It is ironic that the script and even some of the actors have not changed much from then to now - Dr Mahathir is now trying to topple Mr Muhyiddin, and Mr Mukhriz is once again the sacrificial lamb.
Mr Muhyiddin, the Bersatu president, was then still hopeful for a reconciliation with his party chairman Dr Mahathir, and had left the Kedah government alone as a goodwill gesture. It is unclear how the impending development will affect Mr Mukhriz's chances in his bid to challenge Mr Muhyiddin for the Bersatu presidency in the party polls later this year.
