Tun Mahathir on getting Zahid off the hook. Credit: @becerdik Tiktok

With Anwar installed as our PM10, we have a couple of questions that need to be answered to reassure the public that some negative actions prophesied before the elections might not become a reality now that a PH-led government is in place.
The first is, will Zahid Hamidi get off the hook?
Second, will Rafizi go after the MACC Chief like he threatened he would once PH comes into power?
We the public are anxious about Zahid's fate not because we love him more or Anwar less but because above all we love the country most.
However, we would love Anwar more if Zahid were to get what he deserves and justice is done.
If you recall, prior to GE15 speculations were rife that Zahid would be off the hook, with charges against him dropped once Anwar is PM10.
Tun Mahathir alleged that this is a real possibility if Anwar became PM. He said that Anwar Ibrahim would help Zahid Hamidi’s court cases and free Najib Razak from jail if he received the support to become prime minister.
“The prime minister will ask the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for a pardon for Najib, who is languishing in jail, and abort all of the cases he still faces.
“Anwar will also work to get rid of the charges against Zahid and several other Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders.” (MalaysiaNow)
Now that BN has "jumped into bed" with PH would it be possible that Zahid will be off the hook and all charges against him dropped as many suspected would happen?
Our second question is would Rafizi fulfil his promise of going after the MACC chief like he said he would over the raid on Invoke's offices on the eve of the general elections? (Malay Mail)
Rafizi said "he holds Azam responsible for the MACC’s dubious manners during the searches as well as the interrogation of his staff." (Malay Mail)
"I know Azam Baki is looking at this. I hope when Pakatan Harapan wins, we look for you, you won’t blame your brother again", Rafizi said. (Malay Mail)
These two issues are foremost on the minds of many on the first day of a new government under Anwar's leadership.
The public would judge Anwar by his actions not just words. The same applies to Rafizi's threats against Azam Baki.
Would they (Anwar and Rafizi) be fair and just to all like what we hope (harap) they would!
Or would they go down the road and be rogues like some of their predecessors that they recently replaced?
