Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s statement that he was merely using DAP in the 14th General Election (GE14) proves his insincerity, says Anthony Loke.
The DAP secretary-general said the decision to work with the former prime minister at the time was also discussed at length with other Pakatan Harapan component parties.

00:00 Tudh Mahadir is normal. If we are used to Tudh Mahadir, we know his views and his speech.
00:10 I think he is straightforward. He uses us.
00:15 At that time, there was a collaboration between PH, especially DAP, and Tudh Mahadir.
00:23 At that time, our goal was to eliminate the Dato' Srinanjib administration.
00:32 I think he has been straightforward. He does not have sincerity in working with us.
00:41 He just wants to use us to achieve his objective of eliminating Dato' Srinanjib.
00:49 At that time, we were very sincere to ensure a new administration in a new government that can bring innovation.
01:02 At that time, we hoped that Tudh Mahadir, after reaching a certain age, can also change.
01:10 Not only to make Najib older, but also to bring innovation.
01:19 That was why many people put their hopes that Tudh Mahadir will use the second chance to bring innovation and progress to the country.
01:32 That was why there was a new Malaysia hope after 2018.
01:38 But what happened, I think, has become history.
01:43 It does not need to be repeated.
01:46 There are many things that he does not want to admit.
01:51 For example, he did not back up his promise to surrender power and used various excuses such as the Shadaton Move.
02:03 That is his point of view. I do not want to repeat it.
02:09 But for us, at that time, we made a necessary decision for the DAP and the Hope Party.
02:20 We discussed this matter in depth with the parties of the Hope Party.
02:28 At that time, Dato' Srin Anwar Ibrahim was still in prison.
02:31 We also asked him about his view.
02:34 At that time, Dato' Srin Anwar Ibrahim was in a difficult situation to work with Mahadir.
02:42 Dato' Srin Anwar Ibrahim has given a message that he knows Tudh Mahadir.
02:48 But in the end, he agreed with all the views.
02:51 He saw that there was a need for a strategy and a need to combine influence and power to bring together a new government.
03:05 That was proven in 2018.
03:08 The strategy was successful.
03:11 The first time, the National Alliance was overthrown.
03:15 But what happened after the formation of the government was that we regretted that it could not achieve its objective.
03:26 Thank you.
03:27 Thank you.
03:28 Thank you.
03:30 Thank you.
03:31 Thank you.
03:32 Thank you.
03:33 Thank you.
03:34 Thank you.
03:35 Thank you.
