MAY 6 The moment Bersatu launched in 2016, the countdown began. A demise always threatening.
Perhaps, eventually vanish the way of Semangat 46, the other Umno splinter party before. After all, with one ex-prime minister and one axed deputy prime minister, backed by a slew of wannabes, what was Bersatu to achieve?
On stage. Mahathir Mohamad, Muhyiddin Yassin and a bunch of lightweights.
Without adequate firepower, even the unhappy ones stayed put, fairly assuming both critics of Umno would politically die out there in the cold. Better to be in an unprincipled Umno than to sink with an untested new enterprise.
