From MM Online:
Opposition coalition chief claims Dr M invited lawmakers for meeting, PKR men also present
BY SULOK TAWIE
KUCHING, Aug 1 — Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Openg revealed today that the meeting between Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Opposition lawmakers was at the prime minister’s invitation.
Confirming that “some” lawmakers from Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) also attended the meeting, the coalition chairman insisted they did not represent the whole and were part of a delegation that included MPs from PAS, Umno and even PKR.
“They (GPS MPs) did not come there representing GPS,” Abang Johari, who is GPS chairman, said when asked by reporters after he launched the 31st anniversary celebrations of Kuching’s city status.
“What happened was that there was an invitation by the prime minister (to GPS) and so were (the invitation) to other parties. They just wanted to have a chit-chat, that is all. There was nothing to it,” he said.
Asked if he was told what transpired at the meeting, Abang Johari said he knew of the meeting but not what was discussed.
Asked if he knew that the group wanted Dr Mahathir to continue as prime minister, he replied:”Maybe.”
In an earlier MM Online report which I blogged on in a previous post titled Deep State meeting? (wakakaka), we were given the impression those kaypoh's went to see Mahathir as influenced by Mahathir saying in that report: “They came to see me, so I met them. I heard what they wanted to say. A lot of them expressed support for me. Thank you very much.”

they put a gun to my head, so what could I do? |
He said GPS MPs should not be seen as supporting calls for Dr Mahathir to stay on as prime minister and were only at the meeting to “listen”.
“The people invited. The prime minister invited and the group invited, and I did not know there was a meeting, so they just attended the meeting,” he explained.
“The people invited. The prime minister invited and the group invited, and I did not know there was a meeting, so they just attended the meeting,” he explained.
Earlier, Dr Mahathir admitted to a “secret” meeting with some Opposition parties but said there was nothing unusual about the encounter.
The prime minister said they met him to express their support for him but declined to say who was in the delegation and what was specifically discussed.
Instead, Dr Mahathir played off the meeting as an ordinary encounter by saying he tries to meet with “everyone” who goes to see him.
But now, Abang Johari Openg has let the cat out of the bag in revealing it had been Mahathir himself who invited the Opposition lawmakers to the meeting which also included "SOME" PKR members.

did someone mention my name? mafulat lah, I am NOT a member of Mahathir's exclusive covert coterie - I hate Dwarfs who look like rats |
There is a hell of a Grand Canyon-ish difference between kaypoh's going to see him to bodek the PM and the Mamak himself inviting SELECTED people (namely, BN, PAS and "SOME" PKR members).
Thus, there have been two Machiavellian parts to Mahathir's sinister manoeuvres, namely:
(a) He invited them, and
(b) The invitees were PAS, UMNO, GPS and the part that stinks, "SOME" members of PKR.
Why wasn't Anwar, Wan Azizah, Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng and Mat Sabu invited?
Mahathir has been up to nonsense again - never trust this Mamak.
