When Muhyiddin was controversially sworn in as the 8th Prime Minister on March 1, 2020, he did not have the minimum 112 MPs to form a simple majority government in the 222-seat Parliament. Therefore, he deliberately shut down the Parliament to prevent any vote of no confidence that could expose he actually had “scammed” the Agong (King) into swearing him.

Malaysia was the only country in the world that had declared emergency and locked up the Parliament under the pretext of fighting Coronavirus. Ruling with absolute power during a State of Emergency, there was absolutely no check and balance during Muhyiddin’s illegitimate 17-month rule. Worse, the backdoor PM could plunder the national coffer and nobody would know.

Even if his appointed finance minister – Tengku Zafrul – was not directly involved in stealing public money (which still subjects to investigation), it does not mean the clueless and incompetent minister had not committed negligence – blindly approved all expenditures and projects ordered by his boss. Unlike Muhyiddin, however, Zafrul enjoys certain level of protection due to his “royal connection”.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will now focus its investigation on the RM92.5 billion directly funded by the government after it was established that RM437.5 billion was not from the government. This means Muhyiddin’s backdoor Perikatan Nasional government did not actually help the people to the tune of RM530 billion as shamelessly trumpeted.

Still, RM92.5 billion is a lot of money – more than twice amount of money stolen in the infamous 1MDB scandal. Even 10% leakages would translate to a jaw-dropping RM9 billion. The suspension of Treasury secretary-general Asri Hamidin, one of the most powerful posts in the civil service, suggests that misappropriation of government funds had indeed happened.

A good example that leakages did occurred was the RM7 billion contracts approved under the RM15 billion flood mitigation project that were awarded through direct negotiations (in exchange for kickbacks) to dubious companies like Mangkubumi Sdn Bhd. Exactly how could Mangkubumi won the deal when it has been involved in a court case for illegal money laundering as much as RM139 million?

The best part was when former UMNO warlord Annuar Musa proudly told all and sundry in TikTok how Muhyiddin gave him tens of millions during the 2020 Sabah state election. Annuar said – “I flew to Sabah and met Muhyiddin myself. I entered his bedroom and told him UMNO didn’t have enough money and lacked funds. Muhyiddin gave tens of millions to help UMNO when in Sabah.”

If backdoor PM Muhyiddin could easily give away tens of millions of Ringgit as if the money was loose change, it means there were hundreds of millions more in his bedroom. Where did the Bersatu president get so much money if not from bribes? Annuar thought he was smart when he tried to portray Muhyiddin as a generous man trying to help UMNO. He didn’t realize his dumb revelation will haunt the ex-PM.

Bersatu president Muhyiddin and PAS president Hadi’s biggest mistake was spending too lavishly during the recent 15th General Election. The religious extremist PAS party did not even pretend seeking donations from the public to run their election campaign, as they would normally do previously. Instead, video clips revealed how PAS happily corrupted gullible young Malay voters with RM350 to vote for the party.

The only way to stop the authorities from investigating billions of public funds stolen during the backdoor government of Muhyiddin is to topple the new Anwar administration – the unity government decreed by King Sultan Abdullah. But how does racist bigot Muhyiddin Yassin and religious extremist Hadi Awang plan to overthrow the Agong’s unity government?

Unlike the previous “Sheraton Move 1.0” in 2020 that saw power-hungry Muhyiddin grabbed power through betrayal and treachery, PM Anwar Ibrahim does not need to lift a finger to sniff new plots and covert agenda this time. UMNO cyber troopers, determined to fight back Bersatu’s plan to kill the party, has exposed the coming “black wave” protest orchestrated by Perikatan Nasional.
