The partys over
The people contingency not not dont think about which the nation still has to be saved as well as there is many work to do.
COMMENT
Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak was wakeful of the consequences of Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim being jailed. With singular choices, he was forced to select the unpalatable option of carrying Anwar acquitted.
In doing so, Najib's reputation competence have been enhanced, his celebration Umno-BN saved from the margin of obliteration at the polls and, many important of all, the origination of the powerful as well as feared martyr (Anwar), was neutralised.
For Anwar, exculpation meant he could combine upon leading the antithesis as well as making sure the supervision performs. Sodomy II was written by Umno ! to be the distraction, for him as well as the rakyat. Valuable time as well as resources had been squandered upon this sham trial which was written to wear Anwar as well as the rakyat down.
Najib contingency consider us fools to believe which Anwar's exculpation signalled an eccentric judiciary. What about the many alternative cases which have been rigged in the past? Teoh Beng Hock, Aminulrasyid Amzah, Ahmad Sarbani, A Kugan.
Najib seems to need Anwar for domestic presence as well as competence have "saved" Anwar, so which he can be used in his quarrel against former budding apportion Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Mahathir contingency be seething which his long-term ambition, to be rid of Anwar, has been thwarted again.
Anwar competence have been the protagonist in Act we of Sodomy II, though if he as well as his coalition turn as well complacent, Act II competence blow up in their faces.
Ill-gotten gains!
There is no reason because Umno diehards should surrender as well as see their ill-gotten gains, plundered during the 54 years of misrule, be broken by the single man. They have as well many to lose, not just their positions of energy as well as wealth, though additionally their freedom. If people have been still celebrating the acquittal, let us not dont think about which the nation still has to be saved as well as there is many work to do. Corruption, abuse of power, rocketing open spending, injustice, military brutality for the normal male in the street, have nonetheless to be resolved.
Najib's domestic profitableness is strong (he has his foreign advisers to thank for this) though people energy had many to do with Najib's preference to "advise" the law to deliver Monday's Sodomy II verdict.
Conservatives upon the Umno sidelines have been examination Najib's every move. His own emissary Muhyiddin Yassin, with whom Najib shares an heated love-hate rivalry, is alleged to be "guided" by Mahathir.
Naj ib's premiership has been dogged by flip-flops, empty rhetoric, incomprehensible soundbites as well as dear foreign PR campaigns. If he cannot run his own Cabinet, how can he be entrusted to run the country?
If the single exculpation means an eccentric judiciary, then Najib's judgment as well as reasoning, between alternative things, have been poor. The the single drug addict held in the behind streets of Chow Kit does not meant the military have been winning the fight upon drugs. The small-time trader who is held paying "extra" to have his assent approved fast does not meant which the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is doing the fantastic job.
Malaysians have been wakeful of the breakdown of their certainty in the government, though they additionally have some mistrust in the opposition. No the single claims to consider which Anwar knows many appropriate or which the antithesis is 100 percent ready as well as perfect.
The c! oncentra tion has always been to be rid of the corrupt supervision as well as to restore correct democracy to Malaysia. Our job, as the rakyat, is to keep these politicians upon their toes, as well as flog out those who have been self-serving or incompetent.
As the single domestic observer said, "Malaysian minds have been done paste by shopping malls normal quality of life is good, many basis of life being relatively affordable. Even the many enlightened, 'liberal' ones usually protest about 'the others' though examining their own complicity or own unwillingness to cgange their behaviour. That extends to voting for change, reduction so fighting for it."
Red rag
Have Malaysians forgotten which prior to Jan 9, the concentration was upon Women, Community as well as Family Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil as well as her family's abuse of RM250 million of taxpayers' money?
So because is Shahrizat going upon leave at this juncture? Has Najib decided which with Shahrizat "out-of-sight-and-out-of-mind", the rakyat competence dont think about about the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC)? Would carrying Shahrizat around be similar to waving the red rag at the public?
If Najib had any care qualities, he would have suspended her, instructed the MACC as well as military to do the thorough investigation, frozen the accounts of the NFC, arrested Shahrizat's father as well as childre! n as well as pl aced them upon bail, have their passports impounded as well as notified the open of developments about the NFC scandal.
There have been many other, distant incomparable corruption cases though Najib knows which if Shahrizat felt she had drawn the reduced straw, she would drag others down with her. Hell hath no ire similar to the lady scorned.
At Umno's last ubiquitous assembly, Shahrizat faced the audience as well as rolled up her sleeves in the uncover of defiance as well as arrogance as if to say, "bring them on, we am sp! oiling f or the fight".
Today, she is in shelter as well as people will recollect her words "I am usually the mother of the project chairman" which she uttered when the NFC scandal initial broke. The NFC authority is her husband, Mohamad Salleh Ismail.
Readers competence stop the few years back, when the sure lady was asked to comment upon the allegation done in the statutory stipulation which she had been benefaction when the body of Mongolian translator Altantuya Shaariibuu was likely of. She spoken her innocence as well as said, "I'm just the mother of the politician."
