Consequent to the PPBM lost at Semenyih, Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim commence his offense for the Prime Ministership with the thought that Tun Dr Mahathir's claim of two third majority a fake.
He had Tun Daim-controlled NST reported a PKR assemblyman call for Anwar to replace Mahathir immediately.
A PPBM supporter text an image of his viewers of Anwar's ambition and the demise of PH with a new coalition led by Mahathir and Azmin by his side.
It will not be shared to protect his identity but the view of SatD, a PPBM supporter to say the least, claim the end of Anwar is near.
Today's meeting between Dato Anifah Aman and Mahathir could provide a glimpse of the end game of Anwar's last attempt.
Anifah's statement after the meeting below:

YB Datuk Seri Panglima Anifah Haji Aman
Ahli Parlimen P.176 Kimanis
5 Mac 2019
Independent MP Anifah's position should be viewed seriously by Anwar as he is capable of talking to the Sarawakians, particularly the Dayak political parties.
If Mahathir has a plan to resolve MA63, it will be the end of Anwar's lifelong dream and decades of wait to be PM.
The Sabah and possibly Sarawak MPs from the opposition and independent will give their support to Mahathir against any possible motion of no confidence in. Parliament.
Openness to PPBM?
However, Anifah's openness to PPBM's democratic right to enter Sabah is interesting for interpretation.
It could be to check on Dato Shafie Apdal and Warisan from going on rampage to abuse their positions without any sense of guilt to break the law and compromise national security.
A simplistic one could be to accuse him trying to salvage his seat in Kimanis.
However, it is low class politics not synonymous with Anifah. If he lose the petition, he could use the opportunity to push for a successor.
Neither local Sabah government or opposition parties are joining PH. Nor do Sarawak parties who are federal level opposition.
It would be a check and balance on Mahathir to deliver and at the same, pressure on PH to put together a sound government that is devoid of incompetents Ministers.
The common complain among oppositions that are willing to support Mahathir for the time being is the greed of arrogant Lim Guan Eng and ruthless DAP.
Compounded further by Ministers lacking empathy and intelligence like Teresa Kok, Saifuddin Abdullah, Maszlee, Mat Sabu, Khalid Samad. Mujahid etc.
These Ministers may have to go.
So do the incompetent Tommy Thomas as AG. There seem to be rampant racial and party biasness in the actions and inactions of AGC.
The pertinent question that remain hanging:
Is the PH government financially capable of fulfilling the expectation of MA63?
Lim Guan Eng made a major mistake with GST that caused government to have a deficit believed to be in the tune of RM50 billion and causing difficulty on people's life.
Institutional owned assets are sold like an annual sales campaign of the country.
Today, there is a leak which was earlier hinted by Tengku Mahkote Johor that Khazanah is selling Legoland in Musajaya, Johor.
Khazanah reported it's first ever loss of RM6. 3 billion and trying to hoodwinked the investment community with hope of turnaround for 2019.
Business confidence is not expected to improve in the immediate horizon.
Government is in no position to address the situation. Market is fully aware and staying away from government asset on quick sale.
So where... where ... where is the money for Mahathir to fulfill the MA63 so demanded by Sabah and Sarawak?
No kalari payat please. Honour it! Deliver!
