Buzz Sociopolitics Malaysia: Tengku Razaleigh As Interim Prime Minister

Tengku Razaleigh As Interim Prime Minister

Yesterday was a unequivocally long day. Even outlayed time traipsing around a durian plantation. It was full of brand new information, brand new experiences as good as eventually final nite we even took a test. (I consider we passed).

Yesterday evening we attended a convention where a closing session discussed Malaysia's politics in 2012. Upon request by a organiser (a dear friend) we cannot contend which seminar. Some of we folks were there as good - we am sure. The topic was a 13th General Elections.

When will a 13th General Elections be held? One orator forked out which a GE is not due until 28 Apr 2013. And Constitutionally it can even be deferred by an additional dual months. Lim Guan Eng has pronounced which if a GE is called prior to June 2012, afterwards a Pakatan reason States will not disintegrate their State assemblies. Karpal Singh is not in agreement.

Some alternative folks we met contend which a 13th GE will be reason about six months after which Parliamentary subcommittee to study a Electoral reforms has been appointed. The subcommittee has usually been allocated in November. Six months as a result is thus Apr 2012 - still a year prior to a full term ends.

My perspective is it depends upon whether a Crown Prince of Sungei Buloh is sent behind to sit upon his bench in Sungei Buloh. If he is sentenced to sing-sing, there will be a little cheer as good as a little sympathy. It will take about six months prior to a magnetism dies down. His backaches will additionally begin again inside of about six months of being put in sing-sing. we can ! already suppose all those pictures of him - wearing braces as good as sitting in a wheel chair - being smuggled out of sing-sing. (All this is based upon whether he is found guilty or not ok).

Anyway a single of a speakers pronounced (to my surprise) which he had oral to a Crown Prince's l! awyers w ho do not feel assured which their client will be found innocent. In alternative words they additionally feel he will be found guilty of a charges.

So six months from a guilty outcome will be about usually right to have a Elections. My own perspective is which lets have a elections in 2013. We need more time to put things right. The time is not right yet.

And a PM needs to unequivocally revamp a Cabinet. No revamp - can get mauled in a General Elections. Two alternative things were mentioned yesterday. One orator pronounced which presumably 70% of voters have already made up their minds who they want to vote. It will be unequivocally formidable to shift their minds. The conflict is essentially (or always has been) for which superfluous 30% blockade sitters. we consider there is a little law in this. At a final General Elections, many people decided to opinion for a Opposition - no matter what we pronounced or did, they were starting to opinion Opposition.

Post 2008, we once embarrased (just pulling their leg) a organisation of tough core UMNO supporters during a cooking by asking 'Whoever DID NOT opinion for a Opposition greatfully raise your hands'. No a single raised their hands. we consider had voted for a Opposition in 2008. Everyone usually longed for to be rid of Slumberjack as good as a corrupt SIL.

Anyway, a clever lady who spoke yesterday pronounced something else which we feel is intensely important. And for this round, a Prime Minister better take note of this! point e xtremely unequivocally well.

She pronounced which a final 10 - fourteen days prior to a General Elections have been unequivocally consequential to help people have up their minds. Since many General Elections usually have about dual weeks campaigning period, this equates to a sizeable series of people (possibly which 30% of uncertain voters) will essentially have up their minds inside of 10 - fourteen days prior to Pol! ling Day .

By which time, all a possibilities representing all a parties will be known to everyone. This time around if folks similar to a "Lembu Condo" people crop up upon a ballot, there will be a cost to pay. If a Mat Rempit associate appears upon a ballot, or a SIL, there will be a cost to pay. Times have changed.

There was a consensus (of sorts - dual speakers pronounced this utterly clearly, while a alternative dual alluded to it) which a BN will win a Federal Government. we tend to agree. There is a disproportion of views about a margin of feat though. Again a consensus was which a margin might be thin, even smaller than a present series of seats reason by a BN.

As distant as a Chinese votes have been concerned, a single unequivocally good informed orator (a Chinese) forked out which even during a tallness of Tun Dr Mahathir's popularity, usually 30% of Chinese voted for a BN. In 2008, this commission went down to usually over 20%. In By Elections, this figure has forsaken next 20%. What does this mean? The Chinese opinion has essentially been discounted.

Tun Dr Mahathir is so right - what unequivocally matters is a Malay vote. It is a Malay opinion which makes or breaks a elections for anyone. The same orator additionally forked out something else which we have pronounced so many times prior to - by 2018 a bumiputras will have up 70% of ! a coun try's population. It is a Malay opinion which will lift a day.

The young male who spoke about a Crown Prince (my choice of words ok) additionally pronounced which PM Najib Tun Razak has longed for a little opportunities to win behind many renouned support. The orator pronounced which a PPSMI emanate was a longed for event for a PM (the PM was in Mecca as good as chose to remain silent over it - as good as let a DPM face all a fireworks).

He pronounced a PM additionally longed for a large event over a lembu issue. His perspective was ! which a PM should have usually fired a Minister concerned. But a PM did not do this as good as as a result longed for a large event to have real reforms.

The same orator additionally pronounced which Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah might consider leading a Pakatan Rakyat in a next GE if a Ketua Umum is sent to jail. So, if a Ketua Umum is sent off to jail, if he (Ku Li) accepts a nomination to lead a Pakatan, if a Pakatan afterwards wins a 13th GE, afterwards Ku Li will offer as Interim PM, until a Ketua Umum is released from prison again.

Friends, a convicted rapist CANNOT reason political office. A convicted rapist cannot run for Parliamentary choosing during slightest FIVE YEARS after being released from prison. So even if a Ketua Umum is sent to prison as good as afterwards he finishes his judgment (what contend in 2022?) afterwards he contingency wait an additional five years prior to he can run for elections.

Can we see because Guan Eng is so eager to contend totally stupid things similar to 'he will be PM even if he is in jail'. They know exactly what they have been saying.

Unless they arrange a Royal Pardon for a man of course. All these have been 'ifs' ok. He might be! found i nnocent as well. We will never know.

Tengku Razaleigh is a good man. The many undiluted as good as respectful gentleman. But we unequivocally consider a Tengku already had his shot during Prime Time. There was a window open in 2008. At a meeting during his house, we did urge him to step brazen then. But which was during a corrupt regime of a non behaving Slumberjack as good as his SIL.

Najib Tun Razak is a different crater of tea. Some contend which Tengku Razaleigh is a relic from a past, approach past his prime as good as approach past his time. The doctored picture here gives a idea

But we dont hold even for a single second which Ku Li wants to turn an "Interim PM", usually a seat warmer, waiting for a return of a Ketua Umum. we dont consider any a single has which many love for a Ketua Umum. In a past, a man has essentially been a outrageous obstacle for folks similar to Musa Hitam, Ku Li, Ghaffar Baba as good as even Slumberjack. Only when he was sent off to jail, all these folks had a second chance during Prime Time. If a Ketua Umum is locked up, it will be an obstacle out of a approach for Ku Li.

If Ku Li does turn PM, it will be for keeps. No such thing as "interim" Prime Minister. You can dont think about about any pardons as good (if he is sent off to sing-sing).

One orator additionally pronounced which Najib's popularit! y was in creasing though a recognition of UMNO as good as a BN was decreasing. This is an anomaly though it is a loyal observation. This simply equates to which Najib contingency glow a dinosaurs from open life. Only afterwards will a recognition of a BN catch up with his own popularity.

During subject time we asked a 'naughty' subject : whether a PM's mother (Rosmah) was a drag upon a PM's popularity? Everyone laughed though no a single answered a question.

There was a reason we asked this question. It is loyal which Najib's recognition is increasing. More than a single consult - together with a single finished by a PKR themselves - shows which a PM's recognition is increasing. And a mother is of march closely identified with a PM. Logically then, it should meant which Datin Rosmah's 'unpopularity' is apropos an additional urban legend. we know we sceptics have been gritting your teeth already though look during it objectively. How do we explain a PKR consult which shows which a PM ! is more renouned than a Ketua Umum? Itu lu punya consult lah.

It is loyal a PM's mother still appears in a newspapers though did we notice which unequivocally often she is photographed with children - budak pintar, top scorers, underprivileged kids as good as so on. This is apropos a "trademark" of sorts. Oh well.....
