Four people wish to control UMNO or during slightest wish to be means to control a UMNO president, whoever t! shawl might be during any since time or year.
The most powerful of these four group as well as a a single who has a most during interest is former premier Mahathir Mohamad. Next is a fabulously abounding former Finance minister Daim Zainuddin, former premier Abdullah Badawi as well as an additional former Finance minister Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, who holds a slightest poke amongst a 4 most influential power-brokers in UMNO.
Analyzing a UMNO elite's stream diversion plan, it looks like it's Mahathir's kitchen which is a most busy during a moment. The feisty 85-year-old who ruled Malaysia for twenty-two years is pronounced to have since a thumbs up to Najib. But in reality, it is some-more of a goodbye gesture!
Goodbye Greedy-Najib
Mahathir realizes right away which Najib has his own agenda; to be in energy as well as establish his family as well as kin in long-term businesses which might later cross or rival those interests held by his sons - Mokhzani, Mirzan as well as even Mukhriz.
But ambitious as Mahathir might be, due to a talent vacuum in UMNO, a usually horse which he can rest upon is usually Muhyiddin Yassin, a emissary prime minister.
The connection in between Mahathir as well as Muhyiddin goes behind a long way, when Muhyiddin together with Defense minister Zahid Hamidi were part of an UMNO faction called a Wawasan 2020 group led by Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar, right away a Opposition Leader, was afterwards a UMNO emissary president as well as Deputy Prim! e Minist er of Malaysia. But Mahathir, fearfu! l of los ing his seat to a intensely renouned Anwar, motionless to sack him upon manifestly trumped-up sodomy charges.
Mahathir's horse
Both Muhyiddin as well as Zahid had been 'devoted' lieutenants to Anwar then. Thus, to swing them behind to his side, Mahathir betrothed both group a little really critical positions which would yield great benefits in a longer term, although they might not seem remunerative then. Mahathir did all he could to to isolate Anwar, as well as this is why Muhyiddin as well as Zahid have been still Mahathir's men.
Recently, Muhyiddin tried to stand up to Mahathir by insisting upon starting by with a anathema upon teaching arithmetic as well as scholarship in English. But teaching a two subjects in English is Mahathir's cherished bequest as well as certain enough, Mahathir straight line released comments which amounted to a open scolding for Muhyiddin.
Muhyiddin's supporters had no preference though to punch a bullet. Muhyiddin was usually trying to score spirit points with a Malay electorate, they clarified, claiming which Mahathir additionally needed Muhyiddin to "be his ho! rse".
Daim, Badawi as well as Ku Li would prefer to behind Najib
As for Daim, a former Finance minister w! ill usually await Najib since Muhyiddin is already Mahathir's man. Daim had been held scheming under Mahathir's nose when he was a Finance Minister. All a banks as well as a abounding Malays tycoons have been Daim's men. So far Najib has not dug up any dirt upon Daim. Even for RM12bil PKFZ financial debacle, Najib took pains to safeguard which usually a parts continuous to Mahathir were revealed.
Badawi as well has no preference though to await Najib since Mahathir is still insane with him for reversing multiform of his mega projects together with a curved bridge to Singapore. As far behind as 2004, Badawi made Muhyiddin a Agriculture Minister, regarded as a! squalid ministry. Even then, Badawi knew Muhyiddin was Mahathir's man.
Despite approving a NFC cattle stock project as well as awarding a stewardship of a project to a family of Shahrizat Jalil, Muhyiddin did not fully defend a disturbance as well as he let Badawi's son-in-law Khairy Jamalu! ddin ans wer for everything.
Mahathir is additionally really indignant with Khairy. Mahathir additionally hates Rosmah. Khairy has no goal alternative afterwards to align himself with Najib. Khairy was a a single who shielded Najib when he was indicted of regulating open income to attend a engagement party of his daughter in Kazakhstan. Then again, if Khairy had been some-more respectful over a Kazakh episode, fewer people would have well known of it, call guess which Khairy might be playing a "double-game".
Nevertheless, Tengku Razaleigh or Ku Li, if since a preference in between Muhyiddin as well as Najib, he would definitely await Najib since he additionally knows which Muhyiddin is Mahathir's man.
So it looks like Mahathir as well as Muhyiddin have been a single team, whilst Badawi, Daim as well as Najib form a alternative team.
Mahathir Mohamad
First as well as foremost, Mahathir wants to wield power. He quiescent with mixed feelings. He was not means to accomplish most things as well as was actually really demure to lose power. Yet he knew which he had committed as well most blunders as well as Malaysia was starting south as well rapidly, he knew he must rinse his hands as well as let someone else to take a fall.
From a economy to corruption to social integration, a law to a police to a institutions, Mahathir had erred in all his decisions. He was unfortunate to strengthen his name as well as legacy.
He additionally had his sons' future, their businesses as well as political careers to caring about. Not to mention, his c! ronies a nd diehard supporters had to be fast too. After all they were a ones who have been in cold blood supporting hi! m from d ay a single until now.
Make no mistake, Mahathir still wants to hold upon to power.
Daim Zainuddin
Daim is different. He usually wants to have certain which no a single will dig in to his past as well as spoil all which he has built, during slightest whilst he is still alive. Some contend he is penetrating to have some-more income as well as have immature girls as his companions. Other than which he couldn't be disturbed either UMNO wins a GE-13 or not.
But still if he can say a benefaction status quo, why not? It would be most simpler for him to lead his daily life though being disturbed by a everlasting politicking. Daim is like a sleeping tiger; usually wants not to be disturbed.
Abdullah Badawi
Badawi upon a alternative hand is disturbed as well as afraid. He is endangered as well as needs to safeguard which his hermit as well as alternative relatives, together with his son as well as son-in-law will not be taken to charge by a authorities or be hated by the rakyat(populace).
We all know which his son Kamaluddin was involved with Scomi which was indicted of provision centrifugal machines to an aggressive nation to heighten Uranium. His hermit Ibrahim as well as multiform others have been indicted of siphoning increase from MAS.
Perhaps, what Badawi wants most of all is to see his dear son-in-law Khairy Jamaluddin stand out of his stream rut as well as behind in to a full swing of energy once again. Badawi not usually has a soft spot for Khairy though Khairy has been some-more than a son-in-law. Khairy was a a single who jumped in to a open grave to receive a physique of his dear late mother Endon, when she was lowered to her fin! al resti ng place. Khairy did it with so most caring as well as respect which not even Badawi's own son could match him. That was most memorable as well as touching to Badawi, as well as it had an everlasting stroke upon him as well as his adore for Khairy.
Sen timent as well as affect aside, Badawi additionally believes which Khairy has a potential to have it as a top leader. He sees in Khairy a usually goal for UMNO as well as wants Khairy to be since full await as well as not be sidelined. Badawi cares about his sons as well as relatives. He additionally knows which if Khairy was in power, Kamaluddin as well as his alternative kin will be safe!
Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah
At 74, Ku Li is still ambitious. He has already made a lot of money, has a fast bank of supporters as well as has built an picture of himself as a little arrange of a eminent as well as stately statesman. He still can't get over how he was deceived of a UMNO presidency by Mahathir, an eventuality which led to a demise of a "old" UMNO as well as a formation of a right away defunct Semangat 46. Like a asleep volcano, Ku Li still has a little implicit feverishness as well as power.
The de sire for a top post is still there, blazing day as well as night, though he has been as well cautious. The post was inside of his learn as well as he was opposite a most powerful Mahathir himself, so small stooges like Badawi as well as Najib should usually be easy meals.
Yet a opportunity is not there for him to burst into. Thus Ku Li is regularly upon a prowl like all a alternative 3 vital energy brokers. He is not interested in alternative things solely to be a PM, no make a difference how as well as when. Still, time is not upon his side.
Since Ku Li no longer has no vital network inside of a UMNO system, he has to find assistance from outside. He has to do a joint-venture somehow since there is a slim possibility - though still a possibility - which he can grasp his life's ambition. And this is why he formed Amanah, to further correlate as well as to turn some-more informed with a opposition parties.
Ku Li has additionally refrained from criticizing a Pakatan Rakyat though is critical upon a UMNO-BN government. There is no need for him to with! out dela y challenge Najib, Muhyiddin or even Mahathir during this moment. He need not mystify things; he usually needs to fool around safe. He is a silent predator. Ku Li is carrying an open door policy as well as unlike Mahathir, Daim as well as Badawi, he usually wants to be PM.
What about Prime Minister Najib Razak as well as his emissary Muhyiddin Yassin then? Well, they have been usually teenager warlords in their own territories. None of them really have a energy to be upon their own.
