THE Fabian tactic could be what Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin will deploy to thwart the attempt to bring down his Perikatan Nasional government.

To win with the Fabian tactic, according to Dictionary.com, is “to wear out an opponent by delay and evasion rather than confrontation, in the style of the ancient Roman general Fabius”.
