Isn't politics interesting? But what is even some-more engaging is: what is Daim's purpose in this total thing? Is Daim, by his protg as well as nominee, Wan Azmi, fighting for change as well as would similar to to see Umno kicked out? Or is Daim some-more meddlesome in saying PKR separate in to dual camps and, by Wan Azmi, is making certain that they have millions to outlay to have this possible?
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER Raja Petra Kamarudin
Tun Daim Zainuddin met up with Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in a US in 1978 where Dr Mahathir swayed Daim to return to Malaysia to competition a general choosing that was held that same year. Dr Mahathir additionally offering Daim a Chairmanship of a Urban Development Authority (UDA).
Daim was not meddlesome in taking up a Chairmanship of UDA, that he deemed as well big as well as widespread, as well bureaucratic, as well as you do as well many things during a same time. Instead, Daim referred to that UDA form a land association so that all a resources could be eliminated to this land company.
Peremba was determined as this land association as well as Daim became a nonexecutive Chairman with a group of young as well as splendid handpicked officers to support him. Amongst these protgs were Tan Sri Wan Azmi Bin Wan Hamzah, Tan Sri Halim Bin Saad, as well as Tan Sri Samsuddin Bin Abu Hassan, all obvious Umno cronies as well as nominees.
Today, you wish to speak about Wan Azmi, as well as you can read some-more about him in a reports next if you wish to. And why do you wish to speak about Wan Azmi? Well, given Wan Azmi is one of those millionaires (or is it billionaire?) who have been financing a antithesis parties.
That is well as well as fine. After all, you need money, copiousness of money, to w! in a ele ctions, especially given Umno as well as Barisan Nasional have been going to outlay no less than RM1.5 billion in a entrance election. Hence, Pakatan Rakyat needs Malaysian, American as well as Middle Eastern tycoons to assistance account a elections.
But Wan Azmi is a Daim protg as well as Umno nominee. He made income by Daim as well as Umno. So why is he right away appropriation a opposition? Has he turned? Has he repented? Is he suddenly contemptible that he ripped off a country as well as right away wants to give during a back of a small of this income by appropriation a opposition? Or is he a Trojan horse who is perplexing to move a antithesis down?
In fact, Wan Azmi is not usually appropriation a opposition, or rsther than PKR. Wan Azmi's man, Wong Chen, who played a vital purpose in Zaid Ibrahim's failed bid to win a Hulu Selangor parliamentary by-election, is right away a strategist in PKR, together with a right away important Rafizi Ramli who unprotected a NFC fiasco. The alternative person in their group is Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, a Communications Director of a celebration who was Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim's Political Secretary before Faekah Husin took over.
Nik Nazmi as well as Rafizi, Azmin loyalists as well as his 'secret weapon' to prevent Nurul Izzah's rise
And all these people have been Azmin Ali loyalists. And they have been bent upon making certain that Nurul Izzah Anwar does not emerge as her father's successor.
Rafizi essentially longed for to competition a PKR Youth Leader's post in a final celebration election. And he longed for Nurul Izzah as his running mate given he knew he could usually win if Nurul Izzah was in his team. But Nurul Izzah did not wish to competition a Deputy Youth Leader's! post. S he longed for to competition a Vice Presidency so Rafizi had no choice though to abandon his devise to contest.
Khalid knew that he was surrounded by Azmin loyalists. Hence he made a preference to replace Nik Nazmi with Faekah, a Dr Wan Azizah Dr Wan Ismail loyalist. Of course, a Azmin camp is perplexing very tough to get absolved of Faekah though so far they have not succeeded because, in spite of a 'letter of recommendation' controversy, Khalid is still backing Faekah, many to a chagrin of a Azmin camp.
Their goal is that Nurul Izzah will be degraded in Lembah Pantai in a entrance elections, that will cut her political career short. Then, in a next celebration elections, Azmin will competition a Presidency with Rafizi as his Deputy as well as Nik Nazmi as one of a Vice Presidents. And with Wan Azmi's assistance this might all come true. Hell, Wan Azmi might even chuck a couple of tens of millions in to Raja Nong Chik's choosing debate to assistance him defeat Nurul Izzah.
Rafizi's resignation not long ago as well as a conflict upon Faekah have been not isolated or separate incidences. There have been moves by a small buliding to check a ambitions of Azmin's group as well as Rafizi was one of a victims of a counter-move by these people. Rafizi was upset that Anwar did not come to his invulnerability though instead adopted a 'hands-off' process in his normal 'divide as well as rule' plan that once saw Ezam Mohd Nor's exit from a celebration for a same reason.
Anwar is not as well happy with Khalid who a celebration views as uncontrollable. Anwar himself certified this during a back of in 2010. But there is zero many they can do given Wan Azizah, by her loyalist, Faekah, is completely during a back of Khalid. Hence it appears similar to it is right away down to a Azmin team, corroborated by Anwar, as well as a anti-Azmin team, corroborated by Wan Azizah as well as Nurul Izzah.
Isn't politics interesting? But what is even some-more engag! ing is: what is Daim's purpose in this total thing? Is Daim, by his protg as well as nominee, Wan Azmi, fighting for change as well as would similar to to see Umno kicked out? Or is Daim some-more meddlesome in saying PKR separate in to dual camps and, by Wan Azmi, is making certain that they have millions to outlay to have this possible?
Well, Dr Mahathir is right away a de facto personality of Umno. That, you all know. Can you assume that Daim, by his protg as well as nominee, is a de facto personality of PKR? And given Dr Mahathir as well as Daim have been in a same team, can we, therefore, additionally assume that Dr Mahathir is a de facto-de facto personality of PKR? Sheeshpoliticsyou never know who your real friends as well as real enemies are.
