ON the other side of the fence, the Unity Government is just waiting for the rank and file to male the rice situation into a political crisis.
IT would be like Christmas has come early for the Unity Government, who would have gladly bet their bottom dollar, that the Perikatan National TIK Tok belivers, have no clue that the the first PH Government had decided to not extend the Bernas concession.
HOWEVER, when the home minister of the first PH Government became the Prime Minister, he decided to extend Syed Mokthar's Bernas concession.
FOLLOWING the extension which the vast majority of Malay farmers in Perlis and Kedah, had written in , pleading that the concession not be extended, Syed Mokthar, READ ; donated RM195 million to Muhyiddin Yassin and Hamzah Zainuddin's Bersatu.
THE donation took place some 76 days after the concession was approved and PAS, who threw aside politics to support the first PH Government's plan to kill off Syed Mokthar's concession, READ :became Syed Mokthar's biggest defender.
PERIKATAN Nasional as I have said before, will attempt to pass the buck to READ : Ronald Kiandee, as well as point an accusing finger at Ismail Sabri.
ISMAIL Sabri, who off late READ : has been talking about poverty eradication and the negative effects of monopolies on food prices,best hope what he said in Parliament just this week, doesn't come back to haunt him.
THE haunting of Ismail Sabri will definitely come in another form. READ : In 2014, Ismail Sabri said that Syed Mokthar had given him a personal undertaking to relist Bernas in 2019..
ISMAIL Sabri looks like a prime candidate for BERSATU to throw into the deep blue ocean for not stopping the concession deal, considering he was Prime Minister in 2022, and did nothing to stop a monopoly like Bernas, having negative effect to consumer retail rice purchases.
OTHERS, which the bus is waiting for are , BERNAS itself. Surely, Malaysians will want to know despite getting RM600 million a year from the Government, READ : why is FAMA doing Bernas Job, a job which they have been paid handsomely
LAST but not least, Kedah Menteri Besar, Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, who often cries when talking about his poverty stricken childhood, will have to answer what the entire nation wants to know.
WE are convinced 100 per cent the teenage Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, whom we all love, would have stood up and spoken for Joe Kedah and Joe Perlis, though shockingly the adult Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, merely stood in SILENCE.
