In the latest polemic over Act 355, PAS research centre director Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki has suggested that MCA, DAP and Gerakan are staging a backstage opera, whose script is penned by non-government organisations.

Over the past week or two, he said the three parties staged a re-run of the episode of throwing challenges and counter-challenges.

“As usual, DAP started it by challenging MCA and Gerakan ministers to resign, whereas MCA challenged DAP to remove PAS from the Selangor state government.

“PAS research centre views the current drama as holding the answer to the question if DAP, Gerakan and MCA are playing opera behind the curtain,” he added in a statement.

Prior to this, Mohd Zuhdi said there have been claims that the three parties lock horns in public, but strategise an agenda together for their respective narrow interests behind the scenes.
