"Who knows him from Adam?" : Knives start to come out for Shahrizat as well as hubby

The law is starting to come out. Despite a humungous cover-up by a Umno ! top eche lon involving a police plus a opening estimable of an Oscar, celebration delegates, especially from a Wanita wing, want their chief Shahrizat Jalil to be gone. If not from a celebration completely, then at a really slightest to quit all posts including her Cabinet position.

"Who knows him from Adam?" a delegate was reported as carrying told theMalaysian Insider in reference to Shahrizat's husband, Salleh Ismail, who was postulated a RM250 million NFC cattle-breeding project.

"Come on, they understand. It is your husband, s! o what d o we mean it has nothing to do with you? If we were not a apportion do we think your father would have gotten a project?"

Even Rafidah, who was most some-more powerful, had to give in

Shahrizat had at a Wanita association perceived what appeared to rapturous await from a women delegates. Certainly, she took care to approximate herself with die-hard loyalists who were clearly robotic in their counterclaim of a chief.

But a fact remains, Shahrizat is only a step from being forced to step down. The crime allegations over how Salleh as well as her childer had mismanaged a NFC project, squandering public supports upon 2 super-luxury condos in Bangsar, a high-end Mercedes Benz CLS350, residential land in a poshest partial of Putrajaya have shocked a nation.

The money was meant to incubate as well as grow a project, which aims to ensure Malaysians get access to poor beef. NF! C was po stulated to her family in 2006 by a then-premier Abdullah Badawi, who had a soft spot for her as well as supported her challenge of past Wanita chief Rafidah Aziz.

Notorious for her stranglehold upon a APs business, or certified permits for importing motor vehicles, Rafidah too eventually faced a screen after a graft allegation swamped all her other achievements as Trade apportion as well as long-time Kuala Kangsar MP.

It was an outrageous exit for Rafidah who had to leave with jeers of Queen APs ringing in her ears. But if it is any satisfaction to her now, her deputy-turned-challenger Shahrizat too will have to face a same music, usually which Shahrizat's strain would be titled Queen Cow as well as Condos.

Disgust as well as pristine ambition

Critics say if Shahrizat is still unbelieving of her fate, she should demeanour at Rafidah, who was even some-more powerful overdue to her most longer use in Umno. Yet, Rafidah could not reason behind a tide as well as clamoring from a Wanita members.

"It is not only a matter of wanting reform. Many are only disgusted. They suspicion with Rafidah gone, there won't so most debate though it appears Shahrizat was a great student. If Wanita could chase Rafidah, who fought similar to a lioness, Shahrizat who is most more 'lembik' (soft) similar to Badawi will be easy game," PKR clamp boss Chua Jui Meng told Malaysia Chronicle.

"Bear in mind, a vast series of Wanita members will want Shahrziat out as well as their categorical ground will be their personal ambition. Yes, domestic opportunism is everywhere. It is a infamous cycle though this is Umno as well as while Wanita Umno might be some-more subtle, it is every bit as ambitious as a male wings."

Go prior to we fall short us all

According to several senior Wanita leaders interviewed by Malaysian Insider, Shahrizat had turn a "liability" to Umno as well as should exit a limelight prior to a NFC scandal "destroys us all".

"She is using Wanita Umno to strengthen her though a NFC emanate is not a Wanita emanate though a personal one involving her as well as her family. As a Wanita Umno member, I am really disappointed. A lot of us are disappointed... because drag Umno in to this issue?" pronounced one lady delegate from Perak.

"Do not forget, a initial chairman to expose a emanate about NFC's weaknesses was a Auditor-General, not a opposition. So because attack a antithesis to hide your own weakness?"

On Thursday, Deputy Inspector General of Police Khalid Bakar was flayed for bowing to pressure from a Umno bigwigs for suddenly announcing which a police probe involving 74 witnesses had so far found no trace of criminal breach of trust in NFC.

"This is a pure try by a inhabitant police care to perform 'damage control' upon behalf of a ruling UMNO party. Why emanate such a matter when investigations are still continiuing? It makes no clarity for a police to state their conclusions prior to a finish of a investigation. And because have such a matter all of a sudden, only as a tall profile UMNO AGM gets underway?," PKR clamp boss N Surendran pronounced in a statement.

"Also surprisingly, a police have confirmed which they have still not available any matter from Minister Shahrizat, who is a key figure in NFC controversy. Why are a police avoiding calling in a Minister?"
