COMMENT I have already pointed out the sheer opportunism of the ‘Save Malaysia’ gambit by some of the Pakatan leaders in their anti-Najib Abdul Razak coalition with Dr Mahathir Mohamad (March 7, 2016) and their vain attempt to justify this move as a “united front” (April 2, 2016).

My description of this unholy alliance as “an audacious naivete” seems to ring a bell in Anwar Ibrahim’s recent letter from prison when he said: “I can’t help feeling flabbergasted by the simplistic assertions that with Najib’s removal we will be able to usher change towards democratic accountability.”
