BUT as fate would have it, Anwar Ibrahim, ended up being locked away in prison.
WHY I have brought this up today is because many people don't know the duo were close friends and had remained closed even when Muhyiddin Yassin was Najib Razak's number two.
THEY were so close, that Muhyiddin Yassin's friend Syed Mokthar Al Bukhary owes his biggest break in Corporate Malaysia such the control of Pelabuhan Tanjong Lepas in Johor to Anwar Ibrahim rather than Dr Mahathir.
MUHYIDDIN Yassin's second chance to be Anwar Ibrahim's deputy came barely a year ago, with the King proposing a two year rotational system between the duo as PM and DPM.
MUHYIDDIN Yassin, most likely suffering from the short men syndrome, turned down that opportunity too.
ON August 2nd, 2023, I written READ : that a final solution was being prepared to get rid of Muhyiddin Yassin
I had warned the self proclaimed Abah of the Nation to wake up now rather than latter, to see that his political foe is not Anwar Ibrahim and has never been Anwar Ibrahim. His foe is the people sitting with him on the same stage .
EVENTS over the past 48 hours, has seen READ :Muhyiddin Yassin wanting not to seek reelection as Bersatu president, only to make a U turn today.
MUHYIDDIN Yassin, should work on being third time lucky with Anwar Ibrahim, because if he doesn't know it by now there is an old politically strong family who have eyes on Bersatu, having already won the palm and hearts of PAS.
BERSATU should either boot out PAS from Perikatan Nasional, or should leave Perikatan Nasional.
EITHER way this is the last bus for Muhyiddin Yassin if he has any intentions of becoming PM someday.
GET on the bus of his friend, or be prepared to be shamed, humiliated and betrayed by his false friends.
