KOTA KINABALU: The bad blood between Parti Warisan and DAP worsened after a Sabah DAP leader labelled Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal a hypocrite in the row between the two parties over possible cooperation in GE15.
There seems to be no break from politicking as politicians continue their power games during this MCO.
POLITICALLY, the difference between the movement control order in 2020 and the Emergency rule in 2021 is that there was a political distancing during the move to flatten the Covid-19 curve last year.
This year, there’s no political lockdown even though the country is in a state of emergency.
Early last year, the Pakatan Harapan government fell and Perikatan Nasional rose when Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was appointed the Prime Minister.
To flatten the pandemic, the Perikatan government declared MCO soon after, on March 18,2020. During the MCO, there was not much political noise even though Pakatan Plus politicians felt that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad should be Prime Minister for the second time as he had the numbers.

PETALING JAYA: Upko president Datuk Seri Wilfred Madius Tangau has invited lawmakers who recently abandoned the Perikatan Nasional government to join Pakatan Plus.
Pakatan Plus is the moniker for a loose coalition that includes Pakatan Harapan and the yet-to-be-registered Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang) led by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
In a statement on Wednesday (Jan 13), the Tuaran MP appealed to his fellow parliamentary colleagues who do not have any ongoing court cases to join Pakatan Plus in order to discuss alternative policies for the post-Perikatan government. Whether we would sit next to each other in the future as parliamentarians, we have a duty to offer workable and broad-based policies for millions of suffering Malaysians when the PM damages their livelihoods just to save his job, he said.
