Now, whilst Lajim's monetary backer, a Bruneian who migrated to Sabah, is great known as Mr. W., Lajim is great known as Mr. J. And Mr. J. stands for 'Mister Jackpot'.Mr. W. as great as Mr. J., in fact, go approach back, behind to a days when Lajim was still in Usno. And Mr. W. has been appropriation Lajim's domestic career all this while. But Lajim suffers from a critical addiction. And this obsession is gambling (so most for Lajim's Islamic credentials).

Lajim to set up brand brand brand new domestic celebration in Sabah

The brand brand brand new party, if approved, will margin possibilities for a entrance ubiquitous election.

(Bernama, 31 Aug 2012)) -- Former Umno autarchic council member Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Lajim Bin Haji Ukin will set up a brand brand brand new domestic celebration as a car to margin possibilities in a upcoming ubiquitous election.

He pronounced a grave duplicate for which role would be submitted to a Registrar of Societies (ROS) within a next 10 days. "If authorized by ROS, you will be contesting under a brand brand brand new party," he told a headlines conference, here, today.

Lajim, who shaped a non-governmental organization called Pakatan Angkatan Rakyat (PPS) recently, however, declined to hold a name of a brand brand brand new party, only saying "it is a brand brand brand new domestic party".

The former emissary housing as great as internal supervision apportion pronounced should ROS reject a application, he as great as his supporters would expected competition on a Pakatan Rakyat coalition member's ticket.

"We already have a trademark as great as constitution dra! wn up a leadership line-up is additionally ready," he said, adding which a celebration would be representing a Muslim Bumiputeras of Sabah.

Lajim, 57, had not long ago voiced his abdication as an Umno autarchic council member, Beaufort Umno multiplication chief as great as Beaufort BN chairman with immediate outcome as great as declared his await for Pakatan but remained an Umno member, as great as as a result, his appointment as a federal emissary apportion was after revoked.

*******************************************

Lajim Ukin, a Muslim leader from Sabah, with great pushing as great as ceremony, not long ago voiced his abdication from his assorted posts in Umno (but not as an Umno member) as great as pronounced he will be ancillary a antithesis coalition, Pakatan Rakyat (which resulted in his sacking from a Cabinet).

Lajim's desertion was ostensible to have triggered an exodus, in sold from amongst Sabah's Muslim population.

Now, given have you stressed 'Muslim leader' in which paragraph above? Simple. Since Sabah got a autonomy from Britain almost 50 years ago, a Chinese race in which state has declined from 23% to just 9.11%. Hence a Chinese have been not which poignant in Sabah, save in a couple of urban areas, just similar to in Peninsular Malaysia. (See a draft next for a details).

What you will additionally notice from which chart, a Kadazan-Dusun (who, during 32%, used to be a largest group) is no longer a majority either. Malays, who used to be only 0.4% of a population, have increasing to 5.71% whilst a Bumiputeras as great as alternative Muslim groups have increasing from 15.8% to 20.56%. Hence a Malays/Bumiputeras/Muslims have been right away a entertain of Sabah's race with a! non-Mal aysian adults creation up an additional 27.81%.

Some would call this backdoor colonisation. Anyway, what is crucial is which a locals have been no longer a majority similar to they used to be during a time ofMerdeka. The Malays/Bumiputeras/Muslims right away have up a majority, with an even larger series of non-Malaysian citizens, often Muslims -- who can be given overnight citizenship to intermix a non-Malays/non-Bumiputeras/non-Muslims even serve if a need arises.

Now do you know given you take my hat off to Umno? Like them or hate them, you must confess which they have been shining (okay, sneaky, devious, etc., as well).

Hence a 'prominent' Muslim leader similar to Lajim Ukin is very important to PKR as great as Pakatan Rakyat if they wish to take over a state government. Hence, also, there was great excitement when it was voiced which Lajim as great as his alternative Muslim partners-in-crime were joining a opposition. Suddenly a road to Putrajaya became clearer.

But then Lajim was asking for as well much. Other than bags of cash, which he indispensable to cover his deficit finances, he additionally wanted to spin a single of a 3 Deputy Prime Ministers if/when Pakatan Rakyat marches in to Putrajaya. And if he can't spin a single of a 3 Deputy Prime Ministers then he wants during least a post of Sabah Chief Minister.

That has placed Anwar Ibrahim in a quandary given he had already betrothed a post of Sabah Chief Minister to alternative people -- in fact, to a couple of alternative people. Hence if Pakatan Rakyat does win Sabah, as great as these assorted contenders for Chief Minister win a seats they have been starting to contest, Sabah may have to return to a revolution system so which everyone who was betrothed a post of Chief Minister can take their spin during this most lucrative pursuit which earns whoever is lucky sufficient to get which pursuit during least RM100 million a year (judging by a resources of a stream as ! great as previous Chief Ministers).

But Lajim can't be done a Chief Minister of Sabah -- as great as certainly not a single of a 3 Deputy Prime Ministers. And this is not given those posts have been betrothed to others, although which is a single reason, but given he is carrying as well most baggage. And this container is starting to be revealed immediately after Nomination Day of GE13.

Hence it is improved thatMalaysia Todayreveals it now, prior to others do. Then you can gloat as great as tell you 'I told you so', similar to you always do.

Actually, a reason given Lajim resigned from all his posts in Umno (but not as an Umno member) is given of a liaison which was about to explode. Hence he no longer has any destiny in Umno, especially as a candidate in a entrance ubiquitous election. And this liaison involves someone you will call Mr. W.

Back in 2007, just prior to a 2008 General Election, Lajim had betrothed Mr. W a RM50 million stipulate to build an Islamic college in Beaufort. But he wanted Mr. W. to pay a elect up-front, presumably as choosing supports for GE12.

Over a final 5 years given 2007, Mr W. has paid Lajim a sum of RM8 million. However, Mr. W. never got a project. What Mr. W. received instead was 55 undated cheques totalling RM3 million. But all these cheques have been meaningless as great as Mr. W. is hopping mad as great as right away realises he is not starting to get a project, nor his income back.

Chief Minister Musa Aman knows about this liaison as great as given of which Lajim has to be dropped as a candidate in a entrance ubiquitous election. Realising which his destiny is no longer bright, Lajim woke up a single morning as great as decided to stick on a antithesis to quarrel for reforms.

Isn't it supernatural which Barisan Nasional politicians who no longer have a destiny in a statute celebration unexpected arise up as great as have visions of joining a antithesis to quarrel for ref! orms? It makes a single wonder given they never had these visions when they were creation tons of income in Barisan Nasional.

Mr. W. has had to bail Lajim out of trouble some-more than once. There was a single occasion when Lajim owed anAh Long(loan shark) RM800,000 as great as he had to guaranty two solid-gold Rolex watches to cover his debts.

To supplement insult to injury, a so-called RM50 million Islamic college plan does not exist. It is all a scam. And Mr. W. no longer wants to account Lajim (that is given Lajim is looking for a brand brand brand new banker -- guess who).

In fact, Mr. W. wants his income behind as great as if he does not get it he is starting to go open on this. And given of which Umno can no longer retain Lajim in a entrance ubiquitous election. And given of that, also, Lajim has unexpected 'woken up' as great as is joining a antithesis to quarrel for reforms justice, transparency, accountability, great governance, an finish to corruption as great as abuse of power, as great as all which shit.

No, you am not starting to repeat which given 2008 you have asked Pakatan Rakyat to safeguard which they margin quality/clean possibilities in a next ubiquitous election. Let them margin a likes of Lajim as great as let's see Pakatan Rakyat get whacked in East Malaysia. East Malaysia holds a pass to Putrajaya as great as unless you win in Sabah as great as Sarawak you have been not starting to march in to Putrajaya.

So, having Lajim as great ! as those of his ilk as your partners will only safeguard which Barisan Nasional will remain in power. Then, a day after Polling Day, you can, with glee, write my 'I told you so' article.

Anwar, Anwarapa ni? you know you wish to spin Prime Minister. But this type of thing is only starting to have your dream spin our nightmare. As a Malays would say: given would you wish to rejectpenyamumand vote forlanun? We pronounced you wish CHANGE, definition shift for a better, not shift for a worse.

Aiyah! Dah malas nak cakap Lantak engkaulah!
