Whoops, you've done it again. That 90 million you mention is conflating two entirely separate issues - an alleged donation from UMNO years ago, and the more recent PPBM fiasco. Two wholly different issues. Journalistic accuracy? We don't need no stinking journalistic accuracy!
"If Anwar could deal a knockout blow, this could potentially bring a new era in Malaysian politics. Casting as much doubt as possible over the integrity of Muhyiddin and PN would destroy the electoral momentum of PN."
Such action can also backfire on Anwar and PH-BN ("court cluster") in the minds especially of Malay voters who are Muhyiddin and Perikatan Nasional supporters that Muhyiddin, Bersatu and PAS are being deliberately singled out for selective prosecution through such allegations.
Also, I'm pretty sure that UMNO members and voters who support those leading UMNO politicians and elected representatives who were expelled or suspended for a long periods could react in ways against the Anwar-led PH-BN ("court cluster") government at the ballot box.
And, will those UMNO MPs and state assemblymen who were suspended vote with the government or against it in parliament? If UMNO expels them, under the "Anti-Hopping Law" they remain MPs, albeit independent and are free to ally with or join another party as they will only lose their seat if they jump party or leave their party mid-term. If UMNO holds on to them, they can continue to be trouble for UMNO, whilst remaining UMNO members.
With regards:-
"Insiders say, Pakatan want to rehabilitate UMNO and assist the party to regain its traditional strongholds within the Malay heartlands to displace Bersatu and PAS outside of Kelantan. Success would enable PH-BN to become the ‘natural government’ of Malaysia for years to come."
UMNO politics, as well as the politics of parties created by former UMNO members who left UMNO voluntarily or were expelled has been and still is a battle between factions led by feudal-style warlords behind a facade of Westminster-style democratic parliamentary institutions since independence, and the changing alliances formed between seemingly unlikely persons since when Anwar was expelled from UMNO by Mahathir and charged with abuse of power and sodomy, till GE14 when Mahathir, Muhyiddin and their Bersatu party joined hands with Anwar and Pakatan Harapan to oust Najib and the UMNO "court cluster" to after GE15 when Pakatan Harapan allied with the UMNO "court cluster" against Muhyiddin, Bersatu, PAS and Perikatan Nasional-leaning UMNO members is head spinning.
What started out in 1998 as a bid by Anwar and the then opposition to oust Mahathir, UMNO and BN from power has now ended up as Anwar and Pakatan Harapan trying to rehabilitate UMNO, especially the "court cluster".
This clearly reveals political opportunism and a lack of commitment to political principle on the part of these politicians, who switch political allegiances like changing clothes as it serves their own interests.
Pmx cannot deliver the goods. he now want to deflect. last time he had a strategist to execute. now he has no one. he fumbles. he couldnt attack the iris deal as it shows no evidence of wrongdoing by tsmy. he wanted to attack on the kkm's vaccine but cabinet which was the decision maker approved the deal. ag is not decision maker.

Pmx cannot stop PN.
