Who, as well as What Next After Najib?
by Abdullah Ahmad
COMMENT Perhaps Prime Minister Najib Razak has achieved all which he ever desired in life. It will be sad, very unhappy in truth tragic for him not to do well in the subsequent ubiquitous election.
For Anwar Ibrahim, this might be his final chance, as well as also his best opportunity, to have genuine headway; there has never been the some-more favourable domestic situation for the antithesis than now. This opportunity might not come again for the prolonged time if Pakatan Rakyat fails to seize it. He either creates it this time around or fades in to history.
As for Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, he has regularly wanted to be PM, as well as his mentor Tengku Abdul Rahman, had fervently wanted him to lead the nation one day. Poor man, he customarily longed for it in 1987. However, for as prolonged as he breathes, there is hope. Indeed, if we dream prolonged enough, it might come true.
In the stirring crucial, toughest as well as dirtiest electoral war, there have been three illusive scenarios:
a) First, if BN is re-elected with the large majority, Najib might turn PM for the prolonged time. It would be implausible deliberation which his great father, Abdul Razak, died immature in office; customarily two years after winning his personal mandate in 1974.
I think, during this point in time, as well as all being well, Najib should win. The question is how large the majority. If he wins big, Najib will form the cabinet which, yet in hint reflects Malaysian domestic realities, will consist many of his own people his loyalists.
However,! we ferv ently goal he will palm collect the couple of talents to help him reform as well as renovate the nation, consistent with the apropos different times.
b) Secondly, in the event, not unlikely, Najib customarily scrapes by marginally, he will be forced similar to Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, to step down albeit, similar to his predecessor, with abounding rewards.
Presumably, Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin will step in as well as fill the cabinet with his cronies, who will determine the direction of the brand new government, similar to we am 'Malay first, Malaysian second', 'Bahasa Melayu initial as well as English, the apart second'.
Singapore should severely great from Muhyiddin's leadership. we am told by reliable sources he's well-liked over there.
c) Thirdly, not impossible yet the bit far-fetched, the domestic tsunami occurs. Then Anwar, in prison or another antithesis leader, PAS' Abdul Hadi Awang, becomes PM.
The question is how prolonged Anwar personally as well as the DAP-PAS-PKR bloc will last? Will it be the repeat of Perak? Worst, PAS forms the brand new alliance with UMNO it is expected to occur if DAP creates unreasonable demands which PAS politically as well as constitutionally cannot accept to settle the Negara Islam or an Islamic theocratic state with syariah as well as hudud apropos the principal law.
Regaining the people's trust
Regardless which bloc the old, the brand new or the newer one forms the government, the hurdles as well as problems have been the same: steering the nation by tough economic times, rebuilding the tutorial system, anticipating as well as leveraging the competitive edge; plugging leakages, reducing crime as well as crime, restoring interracial, religious harmony, trust as well as confidence.
There is an urgent need to contend law as well as ! order as well as stringent immigration; raising the customary of living, safety, health as well as security. Also the critical attempt contingency be done to slight the gap in in in between the rich, who have been apropos richer, as well as the poor, who have been apropos poorer.
As the civil use or the public zone moves forward, the in isolation zone as well as corporate world, too, contingency renovate to have it some-more thorough differently the overall inhabitant objectives will never be attained peacefully!
Regaining the people's trust in institutions as well as the in isolation zone is very crucial. Equally imperative, the statesman contingency recover the respect of the rakyat as well as the voters. Now the level of courtesy is abysmally low.
There have been talks of the hung parliament. we do not consider the hung council will occur since there isn't the credible as well as critical Third Force in existence.
However, three senior antithesis insiders told me which an NGO, which is planning to convert itself in to the domestic vehicle, has offered cooperation to Pakatan Rakyat in lapse for it to contest in in in in between 10 to twenty constituencies in the subsequent election.
If we were Anwar Ibrahim we will politely decline the offer he doesn't need 'passengers' now. He should customarily talk to them post-election as well as see how many seats they could win on their own. Deliver first, talk later, differently they could be an albatross.
In politics, gumption or settlement is important. Wrong timing will be deadly for Najib as well as the statute party. we look forward to PRU13, the subsequent ubiquitous election. we consider Najib should win.
He is, after all, Abdul Razak's son. He should know what to do to keep power. He also knows what would expected occur to his celebration as well as himself if he as well as his cel! ebration bungled. There is no substitute, we repeat, no surrogate to victory.
Seri Perdana the proxy residence
From reading all the domestic as well as economic analyses, together with those in the brand new media, we could not see how Najib could be so cheerful, unless, of course, he keeps reading pages as well as reams of great things which have him feel good.
Whoever commands in in in between 65 to 70 percent of pribumi electorate would win. The Chinese as well as Indian sectors have been critical contributors they contingency be courted yet not to the extent of unwisely as well as politically offending the infancy as well as the still-influential Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
There have been customarily 45 to 50 Chinese-majority seats, 120 to 130 pribumi-majority constituencies, as well as the rest have been delicately offset mixed constituencies.
Seri Perdana, similar to the White House as well as 10 Downing Street, is the proxy residence. Mahathir built it as well as lived there. So did Abdullah Badawi. And right away Najib, vital alternately there as well as his in isolation home.
There will be the PM after Najib. we do goal nothing ever gets to consider which he is going to be forever in power. That will be the great start to begin the New Year. Power corrupts, an claim customarily done by 'Outs' against 'Ins' to persuade electorate which it's time for the change.
Let me contend this whichever celebration wins there regularly exists an interlocking directorate or triumvirate of politicians, money as well as the unseen hands who shape inhabitant policy, no make the difference who the budding apportion is.
