[Revisiting Events of Sheraton Coup]

Yesterday, I was intrigued by a revisionist take on the Sheraton coup, which posited that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was approached to join the coup to form a Malay-only gov but rejected the offer as the condition was to exclude DAP. (1/13) pic.twitter.com/T1EaOxO9Dd
We can agree to disagree on the question of PKR’s initiative to form a government by negotiating with the court cluster. But this is best done without altering history. (3/13)

I told him the DAP is duty bound to ensure the smooth and successful transition between Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. (5/13)

The plan was to bring 17 UMNO MPs from Hishammuddin’s camp, 18 PAS MPs and 18 GPS MPs, altogether 53, to replace MPs from DAP (42) and Amanah (11), also 53. (7/13)

Fast forward to January and February 2020, DAP and Amanah leaders were urging the supporters of Anwar and Dr. Mahathir to lower the political temperature and to ensure the successful transition between Dr. Mahathir and Anwar after the APEC meeting in November. (9/13)

The leaked audio recording proved DAP and Amanah’s active defence of Anwar, at the parties’ own perils. DAP was steadfast in our support for a Mahathir-Anwar/Anwar-Mahathir government to ensure a smooth transition and a successful government. (11/13)

I have kept personal records and notes from these meetings. The idea of an offer to Anwar to form a government without DAP didn't arise as the original purpose of the Sheraton coup was exactly to remove Anwar from the equation. (13/13)
