Incredible as it may sound, speculation that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is contemplating a shake-up of his government has intensified and that it may happen before the next sitting of Parliament. The less radical version has the Muafakat Nasional partners, PAS and Umno, formally supporting Dr Mahathir to give his government the Malay legitimacy that Pakatan needs. They also claim that apart from 27 Bersatu MPs, Dr Mahathir also has the support of eight MPs from Warisan MPs and 15 from PKR. Dr Mahathir is not dismissive of all DAP politicians and the above Pahang insider claimed that five MPs from DAP have also agreed to support Dr Mahathir. Dr Mahathir can read the writing on the wall.
