It is almost unspoken, but many Malay leaders within the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government is beginning to believe that DAP is a liability to the coalition. There are some who believed that the woes bedeviling Pakatan is largely because of DAP.

It all started well. Pakatan won the 2018 general election. DAP was part of the team. The euphoria was unimaginable. A coalition of four parties representing the cross-section of a truly Malaysian society toppled a government that has been in power since the Independence. Not many believed that could be done. Even the most optimistic political analysts believed that Barisan Nasional (BN) could still win the election with a razor-thin majority.
