They will eventually come to their senses, say analysts


Stronger together: One source said whatever the situation, both Dr Mahathir and Anwar would need each other’s support.

PETALING JAYA: The impasse over Pakatan Harapan’s choice for the premiership between Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has raised questions as to whether it could lead to the eventual demise of the coalition.

However, some political analysts are saying the disputing Pakatan component parties – DAP, PKR and Parti Amanah Negara – would eventually come to their senses and make a more rational decision over the premiership issue, which has been a sensitive topic since the coalition was formed in 2015.
