UMNO is going to collapse, says Dr M.
Unity government with UMNO is unacceptable, says Muhyiddin.
Unity government with UMNO is not relevant (because it has not been proposed), says Anwar.
Do you see the difference between what Dr M/Muhyiddin is saying and what Anwar is saying? The former basically condemns UMNO (and rightly so) while the latter is some wishy-washy statement.
First of all, let's state the obvious. Zahid Hamidi's statement about UMNO forming a unity government with Pakatan is out-of-this world crazy. Why in the world would Pakatan (which won the election) want to form a unity government with the losing party that's now a shadow of its former self.
It's not as if Pakatan was a few seats short of a majority and needed UMNO's numbers to form a government. There is absolutely nothing Pakatan needs from UMNO. It doesn't need its MPs to form a government, it's not like UMNO is brimming with talent that Pakatan could use and guess what, UMNO's got no money now that it's out of power and its bank accounts are being frozen due to the 1MDB scandal.
So, I ask again the obvious: Why in the world would Pakatan want to have anything to do with UMNO?
And why is Anwar being so wishy-washy about it? Well, you can call Anwar many things but he's not stupid. Perhaps he's just just toying around with UMNO to torture them. Make them actually think this ridiculous unity-government-with-UMNO thing actually has a chance.
That's the only explanation that makes any sense.
