In fact, not so many as he thought have proven biddable so far, leaving his parliamentary majority hanging by a thread (bribes being offered to opposition MPs are now in the millions SR is reliably informed). The same people are back in office and looking for their rewards for supporting PN’s royally appointed prime minister, who embarked on his role by announcing to his followers that it would be easy to buy over enough MPs in Parliament once he controlled the public coffers. Specifically, UMNO politicians, their allies and catspaws in places like Sarawak have for decades inflated contracts in order to scoop fat ‘consultancy’ and ‘turnkey’ fees or to simply take the money for themselves – the project, be it a road or hospital, more often than not being abandoned in the process. The PN component parties are very old dogs and everyone knows their tricks. There is a saying that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
