This is not as wild as it sounds. If Anwar could work with his sworn enemy. Dr M Mohamad to unseat corrupt Najib Razak’s BN govt in 2018 & in 2022 conspire with BN’s Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to form unity govt, anything is possible. Remember, after May 13 racial riots in 1969, Najib’s father Abdul Razak Hussein pushed hard for a grand coalition in 1974 & got it with Barisan Nasional (BN). All major parties were in except for Lim Kit Siang’s DAP & the Sarawak National Party.
With most of the opposition folded into it, BN won 1974 elections easily, taking 135 out of 154 seats for a massive 88% control of Parliament. Perhaps PM Anwar is seeking to emulate or even surpass this fantastic feat, this time with DAP in the fold.
How likely is this grand coalition?, unlikely Anwar has said he does not rule out Pas joining the govt if certain policy conditions are met.
In an interview with Time Magazine, published online in October last year, Anwar confirmed that an offer was indeed made to PAS to join his administration.
Prepared to talk
"On whether we are prepared to engage with them, of course we do. And I’ve sent (an invitation) to them ... Yes, I have been open to the idea from the beginning. After all, this is a unity government and we do what is best for our country," he said.
Pas turned down offer at least twice, its hard to resist that persistent temptation to leans on the doorbell incessantly, future election Pas is positioned better than any of other Malay parties & multi-racial but Malay dominant PKR.
