A recommendation for a probe into Mahathir Mohamad over the island saga has triggered the ex-leader into forming an anti-Anwar coalition.
The article centers around the political fallout in Malaysia stemming from the declassification of a report recommending an investigation into former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad for his role in dropping Malaysia's challenge to Singapore's ownership of Pedra Branca island.
The main conceptual idea is that this political controversy has created a dangerous power dynamic where Mahathir sees current Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim as his "common enemy," leading him to forge an alliance with the opposition to undermine Anwar's administration. This potential clash between Mahathir and Anwar, fueled by the Pedra Branca issue, threatens to destabilize Malaysian politics and exploit nationalist sentiments.
