No, Dr M did not topple BN, Harapan did




It's interesting how Dr M's acolytes keep pushing the canard that it was Dr M that toppled the BN government.

Harapan and its allies defeated BN.

DAP won 42 seats
PKR won 47 seats
Amanah won 11 seats

And how many did Bersatu win? A grand total of 13. Warisan won 8. You add those two together and you get 21. So, Dr M's faction won 21 seats. Are you telling me 21 seats defeated BN? No, 21 seats combined with Harapan's 100 seats was able to topple BN.

If Dr M and his cohorts' argument is that without the 21, Harapan couldn't have formed the government, they are right.

But it can certainly be said that without Harapan's 100, Dr M's team wouldn't have been able to form the government either.

I'm not great at math but it doesn't take a mathematical genius to know that 100 is a much higher number than 21. As such, it would be fair to say that Harapan contributed more to the victory than Dr M and Warisan.

Today, after all the defections, Harapan is left with 91 seats. And what is Dr M's faction left with? They've got 6 from Bersatu and 9 from Warisan = 15.

Again, my math ain't too good but I'm pretty confident 91 is a whole lot more than 15. Yet, it's this gang of 15 who wants to tell the gang of 91 what to do. It'd be funny if it wasn't so tragic.
