Holy cow: What hold does Shahrizat have on Najib that he dares not sack her?

One has to wonder to what degree of influence does Women's apportion Sharizat Jalil have over Prime Minister Najib Razak. Indeed, notwithstanding the towering of demands to have her either removed forcibly or to renounce voluntarily, she remains the f! ixture i n the both in the Malaysian Cabinet as well as the ridicule pirate boat which is Umno - the corruption-riddled celebration which has ruled Malaysia since 1957.

Back to work after the three-week leave as well as being questioned by the MACC, Shahrizat goes about her business many the same as usual. No doubt, the smile is the bit plastered upon as well as the worry as well as highlight lines have left depredation marks upon her face. But what hang does Shahrizat have which when she waves it, Najib would cower in fright? Or so it might seem upon the aspect since the NFC is essentially many more than meets the eye. It is essentially the classic reflection of how unwashed politics is within Umno itself as well as how desperate the infighting has become.

Scripted drama

At the midweek assembly of the BNl coalition, Najib sought to give the impression which the NFC liaison as well as Shahrizat's destiny were of so small importance which the BN did not even plead it. "No, no, not discussed here. And it is the privilege of the budding minister," he told the press conference.

Since it is the privilege of the budding apportion to glow the cabinet member, the conflicting is loyal too. Er...! not the Cabinet apportion banishment the budding minister, though it is additionally the privilege of the PM to keep any apportion he likes in office. As such, since which Shahrizat's BN colleagues from Gerakan, MCA as well as even Umno itself have voiced their wish for her to step down, the only reason for her superfluous has to be Najib.

Najib's insistence upon gripping Shahrizat seems to be at odds with many of the influential within his own Umno party, including ex premier Mahathir Mohamad as well as ex-Trade apportion Rafidah Aziz. Although, Najib has been suspected of asking Nazri Aziz, the apportion in the PM's bureau who is widely regarded as his spokesman, to publicly indicate out which there was crack of certitude in the supervision loan extended to the NFC cattle project, no movement has been taken against Shahrizat's family.

Nazri additionally floated the shockingly depraved thought which if the Shahrizats repaid the RM250 million loan, she could sojourn in office. Was he trying to strike together an escape track for her? There is verbalise in Umno which Najib has since her until the finish of the month to voluntarily quit, whilst multiform Wanita Umno total have been scheming to hold an EGM to reject her as the Wanita chief if she doesn't step down upon her own. Again, all verbalise as well as no action.

Is Najib trying to give the impression which he is the great guy as well as an anti-graft buster though has to step delicately since of 'internal undercurrents'? Hog or is it cow wash, his critics would certainly say! Umno time is bendable as well as promises done have been expected to be forgotten. A great example is Nazri himself, who was tasked to demeanour into allegations which the Attorney-General's Chambers had dropped the RM40 million corruption box against former Malacca Chief Minister Rahim Thamby Chik in exchange for Rahim stepping down from all supervision as well as celebration positions. Years have passed though no movement has ever been taken.

! Najib himself is the a single land behind upon taking action

! So what then is land Najib back? There have been many in Umno who indicate out which the PM as well as his supporters have been to blame for the Shahrizat fiasco. In their bid to bail out her as well as implement their male Raja Nong Chik as the candidate in Shahrizat's long-held former parliamentary seat, Lembah Pantai, the complete Umno equipment as well as caring has been strike by outrageous disastrous news.

Just final night, Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, regarded as the potential competitor for Najib's presidency, attempted to assistance Shahrizat, revelation her there was no hurry; she could decide what to do after the police as well as MACC investigations were through. However, in Malaysian domestic time, this could operation from months to years, as witness the Rahim case!

Obviously, by creation such the statement, Muhyiddin is sticking his neck out. Many of his domestic rivals have been already indicating out which he was the Agriculture apportion in charge of granting Shahrizat's family the NFC cattle tact plan in 2006. So it makes sense which Muhyiddin would want to assistance Shahrizat cover up NFC. Again, this secon! d twist essentially benefits the Najib stay the most.

Then there is the Badawi-KJ group to neutralize

Perhaps, this is why Najib is prolonging creation the preference to ask Shahrizat to step down, when the contribution have been only all as well clear she has to go. PKR leaders hold they were fed information from whistle-blowers they suspect were from Umno itself.

Certainly, the NFC liaison has been the boon for Najib, helping him to separat! e his al ready embattled celebration serve apart. A divided Umno will assistance Najib to say the upper palm when internal polls have been held later this year, as well as retain the presidency.

With the single cadence of the sword, so to speak, Najib gets to plant his male in Lembah Pantai, create theory as well as have hold up formidable for Muhyidd! in, who has been struggling since offending Mahathir over the policy to have use of Malay language to teach Science as well as Mathematics.

Another group of rivals which Najib gets to vacate with the NFC liaison is the faction controlled by his prototype Abdullah Badawi as well as his son-in-law Khairy Jamaluddin. From exhilarated defense, it is revelation which Khairy is right away practically 'speechless' when it comes to Shahrizat. No doubt, the 30-something Oxford connoisseur realized at the final impulse how tighten he had been lured to the margin by his enemies.

Badawi as well as Khairy were the ones who allegedly dredged up the plan from between the many proposals sent in by unfamiliar consultancies, as well as they had decided to give the NFC to Shahrizat partly to assistance her win Wanita chief's post in 2008. The NFC is the cattle tact plan aimed to ensure Malaysia could furnish 40% of the beef consumption as well as keep prices low for the masses.

A study in decadence: This is how Umno works

At the core of it, the complete NFC liaison is the revelation of how Umno works. This is an depraved party. It cares not which the shenanigans as well as internal politicking have been being watched by the open at large. It cares not which no the single is cheated by Najib's clumsy maneuvers. No sirree, Umno members caring not which it is their own celebration which is being stiffed, behind stabbed as well as destroyed by the own boss as well as his men.

!

Now , perhaps Malaysians can understand why current Agriculture apportion Noh Omar, who could explain to have knowledge as well as justification of silt theft by PKR leaders, could only go'Uhhh, we don't know' when asked if there was any component of crack of certitude in the approach the Shahrizats had utilised the RM250million soothing loan.

PKR leaders have splashed out in the media documentary justification of how the Shahrizats outlayed outrageous chunks of the loan upon luxury condos, car, credit label splurges, holidays as well as so on. The loan was postulated by the Badawi supervision as funding to get the NFC plan up as well as going.

Najib won't get absolved of Shahrizat so soon

Perhaps, it is additionally clear now, why Shahrizat is so confidant as to refuse to resign, even when told off in no uncertain conditions by Umno stalwarts similar to Mahathir Mohamad as well as Rafidah Aziz.

Shahrizat substantially knows Najib will not 'get rid' of her so soon. His bull-in-a-china-shop ways have been not formidable to read, especially to his celebration friends who have known him by the decades.

He as well as his minions might right away bark as well as have comments to show they have been 'serious' about cleaning up the NFC as well as which includes throwing Shahrizat out into the domestic wilderness. But until the liaison has been milked for each single drop of domestic advantage, as well as is no longer of any have use of to them, Shahrizat knows she can bide her time.

And by now, so does Muhyiddin. And the time support he is asking for her is, until the investigations have been over. Talk about waiting until the cows come home! But Shahrizat will certainly bargain for the many favorable exit which she can. Even so, she knows which she must go eventually.

The biggest! losers have been of course the Malaysian public. Because when the Umno chosen reshuffle the cards, theory what? Abracadabra, not the sen - or not which many anyway - will be found missing from the NFC after all. Everythi! ng has ' suddenly' been done great as well as no the single needs to be punished.To even consider of bringing the hurtful to book is silly - it only shows how wanton as well as bourgeois the opposition is. SEMUANYA OK!
