ANWAR Ibrahim has just taken the biggest gamble of his life, even bigger than the one he took, when he went up against Tun Mahathir some 25 years ago.
"If you're gonna play the game, boy,
You gotta learn to play it right.
You got to know when to hold 'em,
Know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away,
And know when to run.
ANWAR Ibrahim's gamble to allow tourist from Covid plaqued China could make or break his Prime Ministership. READ : PM: No Covid-19 Test Mandates On Travellers From China.
IF it all works out well, Anwar Ibrahim would have won the goodwill of the power brokers in Beijing for giving them face, at a time when countries such as Japan and Australia have singled out China. READ : Australia imposed Covid checks on travellers from China against advice of top health official.
FOR now,. most net citizens are against the move to allow the China tourist into Malaysia at all. READ : Netizens have expressed their dissatisfaction over tourism associations' reluctance to call for the temporary suspension of Chinese travellers to Malaysia.
HOWEVER if cases spike in Malaysia, it's Anwar Ibrahim's head on the line and this time there won't be room for another comeback by Pakatan Harapan as the entire rulling unity Government will go down in flames.
