PROKLAMASI Melayu chief advocate Tun Dr Mahahtir Mohamad will be teaming up with foes-turn-friends in Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and PAS president Tan Sri Hadi Awang in what is poised to send the Sultan Muhammad IV stadium in Kota Bahru, Kelantan into a frenzy tonight.
The three controversial politicians will be joined by their younger PAS warlord-cum-caretaker Kedah menteri besar Datuk Seri Muhamamad Sanusi Md Nor who recently created headlines with his 3am police arrest at the Munajat Rakyat Kelantan gathering and five other PN leaders.
They include former UMNO warlords Tan Sri Annuar Musa and Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim as well as caretaker Kelantan menteri besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob, his deputy Datuk Mohd Amar Abdullah, Persatuan Pondok Kelantan adviser Syeikh Wazir Che Awang and religious leaderTuan Guru Awang Yusuf.
Kelantan PAS deputy commissioner Datuk Mohd Amar Abdullah expects the presence of former twice premier Dr Mahathir and former Ketereh MP and new PAS recruit Annuar to rally the Kelantanese support towards PN in the state.
PAS mouthpiece HarakahDaily quoted Mohd Amar as praising both leaders for having their own aura and a large following.
“Even though Tun Dr Mahathir is no longer a PM and Annuar is no longer a minister (formerly communication and multimedia minister), they still have many followers,” noted the Kelantan deputy MB (now in caretaker capacity).
“In fact, Tun himself requested to attend tonight’s programme. Surely, he has something to convey to the people of Kelantan, hence I believe it is good for people of all ages and regardless of political beliefs attend tonight’s programme.” – July 21, 2023
