In his book, DAP senator Liew Chin Tong said disagreements dated back to Bersatu’s early relationship with the opposition.

 

PETALING JAYA: The Pakatan Harapan was a coalition that looked doomed from the start, with cracks already evident in the run-up to the 14th general election (GE14) and in the aftermath, says Liew Ching Tong.

In his biography of party stalwart Lim Kit Siang, titled “Lim Kit Siang: Patriot. Leader. Fighter”, the DAP man says the leaders were routinely clashing over policies and roles and the frequent disagreements dated back to Bersatu’s relationship with the opposition bloc.

He added that then Bersatu chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad had even ordered his party to pull out of the coalition in 2017, unless the rest acceded to his wish to be named as the prime ministerial candidate.
