KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 3 — Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s controversial appointment as a deputy prime minister was necessary to give the Anwar administration time to steady itself, according to political experts.
“In the short run yes, as that would prevent Umno from defecting. priority now is for his government’s survival.After the 15th general election, Ahmad Zahid, who is also the BN chairman, unexpectedly declared his coalition’s support for Anwar to be prime minister when the latter had been in a race with PN’s Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
When asked if the appointment would affect the credibility of Anwar’s government — particularly as he went to lengths insisting “no corruption” to be one of the requirements to cooperate with PH — Oh said the government’s survival had to come before its character.“Wait until those court cases go to court,” Oh said, adding that the national unity government was just clinging on day by day.
“The second DPM post, as expected, is given to GPS. It’s just that the political factor to show that Putrajaya is concerned about the development of Borneo,” said Azmi when contacted byHe added that it was no surprise that Ahmad Zahid was made a DPM as the latter was the most senior leader in BN, while his deputy Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan was named the defence minister.

Penyokong PH kena tipu hahaha. At the end of the day it's all about personal interests
They struck a deal beforehand. It’s so obvious. Luckily, Najib is already in prison, if not just for the sake of becoming PM, DSAI would have cut a deal with him also
You support me, I support you la ! Mula-mula: Mereka sokong saya tanpa syarat. Atas dasar prinsip Lepas tu: Ni Kerajaan Perpaduan. Perlu ambil kira semua yg mendukung kerajaan perpaduan. Akhirnya: Zahid naik TPM. Umno dpt 6 Menteri Penuh. Sidang akhbar 10min, tak amik soalan.
Friendship? Friends forever no matter what...
DPM Zahid fate will depend on the court verdict 😎🤓👨⚖️👩⚖️
Ala.. Telur dia Zahid dah pegang. Simple jer.
Pretty much to maintain support from BN. As long as he maintains the PM position. Anwarcabinet not Malaysiancabinet
Trade off to prevent the alternative choice of government for Rakyat
A cabinet that Anwar needs and Not what malaysians wanted
When you are so desperate to be a PM that you agree to work with the devil. Thus, this is the consequences you need to pay
He is only good in talking but dont have political will to change thing. Back to square one. Voter got cheated.
Pretty much like why Tun M brought in Anwar into UMNO, ie, to stifle PAS’s influence. “Deep within Anwar’s psyche is a true Malay Machiavellian view of the world”.
