This is from 2018, but just putting it here so you're reminded what the re-bottled "old wine" tastes like...

And lest we forget, also this tasty kueh morsel:

It has been reported that UMNO leadership unanimously agreed to propose Ismail Sabri as its nominee for PM9.
In essence what UMNO decides is also what BN decides.
Lest we forget, this is the same UMNO that
- colluded with Bersatu and PAS to topple the elected PH govt

- was a MAJOR part of the PN government, but was publicly wishy-washy as to being part of the PN govt
- PUBLICLY stated (more than once) that it would withdraw support from PM8, but at the same time supports the PN govt

If Mental Gymnastics were an Olympic event, Malaysia would win Gold, Silver AND Bronze… no contest.
What’s less strenuous to figure out is that UMNO wants to regain its previous position of power.
The other question: given the various candidates, who will PPBM back?

Because the answer to that question contributes to who really has the numbers.
It doesn’t take sophisticated analytics to figure out that UMNO is the source of the PN regime’s fall. PPBM *should* realize this, unless they’re completely brainless - the jury’s still out on this

IF PPBM doesn’t throw their support behind the candidate of the party that screwed them over, whom *will* they cast their Yea vote for?
The answer to that probably lies in another question: what do they want in return, and what concessions will they actually get?

Personally, I find it interesting, if not a little ironic, that Malaysia’s political impasse (again) and the Afghan theater are happening almost in perfect parallel.
Both, however, are worlds apart; figuratively and literally. Apart from timing, though, not much in common...

… except for one thing: criticality of the OPTICS in creating public perception.
But from where I sit at the moment, the optics for both are still kinda off-focus…
