PAKATAN HARAPAN : THE BROKEN PACT AND THE FALSE HOPE
1. A day ago, PAKATAN HARAPAN (PH) made the news after BERSATU publicly mentioned that they will not opt to work with PH.
2. Not too long ago, PEJUANG, led by the person who had arguably led the opposition to win the 2018 election, had mentioned casually- that it is up to PH to work with PEJUANG or not.
3. There is not a form of unity in PH today. Even Anwar Ibrahim conceded just about 2 months’ ago that PH would require a ‘rebranding’ process for the 15th General Election.
4. In simpler terms, PH in 2022 is an incoherent, and disjointed group consists of political mercenaries who are unable to sort out their internal differences.
5. In doing so, they have been operating in a structure that fails to recognise the Rakyat’s interest from grassroots level, suburban, or urban levels.
6. Anwar himself conceded that the failure of Pakatan Harapan was because they had “promised too much”.
7. Not even a year after PH won the election back in 2018, Tun Mahathir publicly said that they thought PH would lose, therefore, they made big promises which are difficult to execute.
8. After PH’s own doings to overpromise, and underdeliver, the cracks began to show, and they were trapped in between their own words, and their actual capabilities.
9. To put it clearly, Tun said that they were a victim of their own manifesto. This will happen again.
10. PH in 2022 is not any different. The cracks are showing in PH’s own ranks, and they are following the same play they did back in 2018- overpromising and they will under deliver.
11. DAP’s intent to use their own logo is a clear indication how distorted their internal alliance agreement actually is. If you cannot even agree on the logo you would use, I can see why the old manifestos were just false promises.
12. MUDA, a new party that carries a totally different ethos and manifesto in comparison to PH- are now planning to work together with PH? How is that even going to work?
13. The ‘rebranding’ effort Anwar has been muttering us nothing more than cometic change. Nobody can see how DAP could contend with PH’s flag, or MUDA to carry PH manifesto- and yet, this is their best choice to fight for the general election?
14. In Malaysian terms, this is nothing more than “Tangkap Muat”. The pact is broken, the vision is disoriented, and the ‘harapan’ is a false one.
