Malaysians ushered in 2012 amidst headlines of student-bashing by a police, who have been obviously have been aligned to Prime Minister Najib Razak as well as his UMNO party; Cabinet apportion Shahrizat Jalil's realistic refusal to give up despite an augmenting raise of damning justification opposite her family's corruption; plus a defection of a former pro-opposition blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin, who has been indicted of taking income to allegation Najib's arch rival - Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim - brazen of a latter's January 9 Sodomy II verdict, which is being monitored by general bodies as well as initial universe governments.
How fast a wheels turn in Malaysian governing body though sad to say, it is a same dreary arrange of passageway for liquid politicking which many pundits hold will hammer a final spike in to Najib's domestic coffin. The statute BN coalition, which hounded RPK for years, has right away come brazen to broadcast him a hero, whilst Anwar's Pakatan Rakyat coalition has distanced itself from this rsther than peculiar personality, who grew to fame by bashing down a investiture as well as divulgence a little of a many sensational of cases together with Najib as well as initial woman Rosmah Mansor's impasse in a Altantuya Shaariibuu murder.
Turncoats turn a normal in Najib's Malaysia
There have been a little who contend which if not for RPK, a little a single else would have been fed with a juicy tidbits to reveal - in other words, it was not RPK himself though his timing as well as being in a right place to gain himse! lf a min i cult status of sorts. However, no matter how popular, RPK was known only in cyberspace as well as appreciated often by a Chinese rsther than than a Malays, who preferred their own blogs as well as websites.
By nature a asocial race, a Malaysian Chinese have been unlikely to follow RPK anymore. Instead, a bent is to chuckle as well as if there is a in isolation thought, it would be which RPK is a former Umno guy, he will surely succumb to temptation - it's only a series of zeroes upon a cheque, that's typical of their kind!
True or not, satisfactory or not, a actuality is turncoats have been a normal in Malaysian politics. It has turn even some-more visible during a Najib administration, with a PM heading a approach with his infamous luring of 3 Pakatan lawmakers to trigger a Perak predicament or Perak coup d'etat in 2009.
RPK is not a initial to have an about-turn. Any politician in Malaysia can be bought, if a price is right. And this certainly looks similar to a case with this once-popular blogger. Can we right away assume where Najib was spending his overly prolonged holidays? Probably sensitively shopping over support in to his camp!
UMNO-BN needs to give an coming of strength
The actuality is UMNO-BN is upon a final legs as well as having clever personalities in their stay does assistance their effort. So unfortunate is UMNO is which when two internal as well as rsther than popular comedians confirm to join a party, a headlines was blared all over a nation by a mainstream media!
It is as if UMNO needs endorsement to assure a members it is still a applicable party, differently an exodus can be approaching brazen of as well as rught away after a 13th General Election slated for later this year.
Already, insiders estimate during slightest 30% of MCA members will being fasten PKR, DAP or even a Islamist PAS - a series journey UMNO can thus be approaching to be even higher.
Perh! aps now, Malaysians can assimilate because a tremendous allegation campaign opposite Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim as well as his PKR party. Not to discuss a incessant merger proposals thrown out to PAS. Fed-up as well as frustrated UMNO members journey their elitist celebration have been expected to have a brand new home in PKR as well as PAS, with a Chinese-based DAP additionally becoming an increasingly attractive option.
UMNO-BN thrives upon a cult-mentality arrange of culture. The some-more we hold in their ideology, a stronger they crop up to be. This is why, similar to a little arrange of dubious Multi-Level-Marketing outfit, they need cult icons to prop up an coming of pretension success. Having a likes of RPK fasten a ranks of Ibrahim Ali as well as adding to a sect of UMNO bloggers as well as cyber-troppers is similar to a booster shot for a party's top leadership.
Oblivious to disgust
Ironic as well as additionally revelation which not once has a UMNO statute elite considered which such passageway for liquid politicking might offend as well as put off voters. Indeed, perhaps a many underestimated peculiarity is 'disgust'. It was open offend over a supervision cruelty which fuelled a series in Tahrir Square as well as a hint which illuminated a Arab Spring brushwood box. Without doubt, offend will additionally land Malaysians with a brand new sovereign supervision after 54 years of a corrupt as well as rough UMNO-BN regime. As they say, sufficient is enough.
Najib's refusal to adhere to universal great values will supplement to a infamous cycle which Malaysian governing body has fallen into, especially as GE-13 draws near. Do not be surprised if domestic celebrities in Malaysia shift camps again as well as again in a coming months to position themselves to best offer their own interests.
Bearing a brunt of a loss in credit will be a Malaysian manage to buy as well as financial markets, with investors firm to be ! alarmed during a UMNO-BN's riot power grab but regard to a laws of a land.
Simply as well most manipulation
Then Pakatan Rakyat has turn most some-more than only Anwar Ibrahim. Though, RPK's remarks have been directed to cast disbelief upon Anwar's certification as well as moral standing to be prime minister, RPK must additionally recollect - he himself is not prime apportion material. So who is he to talk!
The same goes for others in Najib's Cabinet, who have jeered during Anwar, together with a corruption-tainted Shahrizat herself, report apportion Rais Yatim who was indicted of raping his Indonesian maid, Mentri Besar Zambry Kadir who has no mandate of his own to rule Perak. It is not astray to contend which all of a UMNO elite have a little structure of a body or other in their closet.
Najib, himself indicted of vanity as well as massive crime to a tune of hundreds of millions, has said which governing body was a diversion of perception. Perhaps this is because he refuses to face up to a being which Malaysians have been some-more concerned with bread-and-butter issues as well as instead takes UMNO through a single untrustworthy conspiracy after an additional - from Sodomy II to a Datuk T sex fasten as well as right away a Datuk Fixit-NFC charges to purportedly concede Shahrizat an shun track for a RM250million cattle stock debacle.
UMNO-BN will personification a diversion to a knob as a Sodomy II outcome approaches. RPK's comments were meant to assistance Najib as well as UMNO cushion a blow of a guilty outcome amongst a general public. But even before RPK spoke a word, all eyes were already upon a guilty verdict. The only surprise is if Anwar were liberated from a charges.
So it looks similar to Najib's latest expensive ruse - believed to have price taxpayers scores of millions - to partisan RPK as well as a network of UMNO bloggers together with Rocky Bru, a Malay Mail as well as even Malaysiakini, might i! n a fini sh backfire. Too most 'sandiwara' - what contend you!
