Raised eyebrows, annoyance, snorts as good as sniggers. Those were a between a many common responses to a devise by Umno President as good as Barisan Nasional authority Najib Razak to seek a assistance of a Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission to oldster a ruling coalition's possibilities for a forthcoming 13thGeneral Election.
But there has been zero but an meaningful silence to this proposal from a many powerful male in Umno today, Najib's former boss as good as ex-premier Mahathir Mohamad, as good as with great reasons too.
Mahathir's son, Mukhriz, is doubtful to make a class given a father's reported US$ 44 billion in assets as good as a moody of US$ 200 billion in dirty income final year. In fact, couple of if any of a top leaders in Umno would be means to make a grade, with a entire devise already ridiculed by a open as good as tagged as an eye-wash to curry preference in a many childish approach with voters.
Trying to shock a Devil or negotiating improved exit terms
What is Najib perplexing to do? As distant as a general perception goes, Najib along with Mahathir should to be between a initial to be axed given a former's humongous Scorpene crime as good as Altantuya Shaariibuu murder scandals. Can a 59-year-old Najib unequivocally be so haphazard as to hold which by roping in a MACC, whose own firmness is in doubt, it will make things right with voters?
Come on, electorate have been already sick as good as sleepy of a Umno-BN's neverending story of bribery as good as rapine of a inhabi! tant cof fers especially. So what is Najib after? Is he perplexing to advise Mahathir as good as his own deputy, a additionally corruption-tainted Muhyiddin Yassin, to back off? Red-hot upon a Umno grapevine is speak which Mahathir as good as Muhyiddin have struck a deal to push out Najib prior to GE13. Is Najib perplexing to signal which he won't be giving up so easily as good as if he has to, he will quarrel back?
Those who have been examination a developments in Umno will know soon enough. However, given a strength of Mahathir's sinister spirit as good as Najib's weak indecisivness, couple of hold Najib can do many to shock Mahathir.
At a most, it competence buy a PM as good as his mother Rosmah Mansor a couple of some-more months in power, permitting them to make a some-more advantageous as good as seemly exit. Instead of relinquishing a premiership prior to GE13 as Mahathir as good as Muhyiddin have been said to have demanded, Najib competence get to lead Umno-BN in to GE13 prior to stepping down as Umno president during a party's internal election due to be hold later in 2013.
Mahathir conducted a inform of Umno, BN candidates
Mahathir is not an easy male to cross as good as couple of have survived you do so. His many successful opponent stays his physical condition thorn in a strength - Anwar Ibrahim. Not Najib. For right divided until GE13, Mahathir competence continue to contend great things about Najib but this can change anytime. Author Barry Wain did not call Mahathir a nonconformist for nothing. Mahathir is indeed a energy at a back of a bench as good as all eyes have been right divided upon a 87-year-old as he twists as good as turns to keep his grip upon Umno as good as protect his family as good as their enormous wealth.
Upon assuming energy in 1981, Mahathir decided, unilaterally, which his Bersih, Cekap dan Amanah (Clean, Efficient as good as Trustworthy) administration department would not margin! undeser ving candidates. Mahathir was judge, jury, as good as hangman in this case. No MACC or ACA for him! The possibilities knew it had zero to do with their being 'undeserving' but which this was his approach of cleansing BN of possibilities put up by his predecessors as good as bringing in his own faction members.
Many Umno as good as BN members who hold party posts were not fielded as possibilities in a General Election (GE) simply given they weren't with him or he simply didn't similar to their faces. To add insult to injury, they weren't compensated with alternative supervision posts possibly given his target was to finish them off politically as good as cover up them for good. Yet, his losing possibilities in party elections were not usually fielded as GE possibilities but were rewarded with alternative supervision positions when they mislaid during a party as good as GE levels.
Ruthless, mean, vicious, vindictive - these have been all difference used to describe Mahathir, as good as another strongman statesman in Malaysia - Taib Mahmud of Sarawak.
Najib is no improved than this duo. He as good as Rosmah have been usually as controversial as good as unpopular. But for his own self-preservation, Najib should know because he must get Mahathir as good as Company out of a 13thGE.
Mahathir's system of administration department was anything but clean, fit as good as trustworthy as clear in, between others, Barry Wain's book, "Malaysian Maverick Mahathir Mohamad in Turbulent Times." According Wain's research, under Mahathir's administration department US$ 100billion was mislaid from a Malaysian treasury.
If Malaysia's third prime apportion Hussein Onn, who was additionally Najib's uncle, had not selected Mahathir as his Deputy Prime Minister, Malaysia would have had a different history. Hussein erroneously suspicion which given Mahathir was a sole ranger in governing body as good as did not have any grassroots support, he would not be a pl! ea to hi m. Mahathir, however, being a machiavellian Keralan which he was, managed to outmaneuver Hussein out of office in what's seen today as probably a manoeuvre d'etat.
Mahathir stabbed Hussein Onn in a back as good as tricked Razak
This was how Mahathir repaid Abdul Razak, Najib's father as good as Hussein's brother-in-law, who brought him back to Umno after carrying being sacked by Tunku Abdul Rahman for being a single of a 3 physical condition villains at a back of a May 13 competition riots. The alternative two physical condition villains were Razak himself as good as afterwards Selangor Menteri Besar Harun Idris who prevailed upon a former to re-admit Mahathir in to Umno.
The issue which Mahathir used opposite Hussein was a allegation which a latter's mother was probably using Petronas from her house. The Dap mysteriously received, right divided believed to be from Mahathir, papers in a post upon a allegation as good as upon Exxon allegedly stealing Malaysian oil upon a tall seas unknown to Petronas. Then Dap secretary-general Lim Kit Siang ended up in Court as a result of a papers as Exxon fought back with a authorised suit.
The story, as it goes further, is which Mahathir had Hussein's office completely privileged out when a Prime Minister was subsequently in London for medical attention.
He additionally reportedly spread rumours, in hinting during a allegations upon Petronas/Exxon, which Hussein had a "terrible heart condition" as good as would be stepping down as Prime Minister upon his return "for health reasons". Mahathir's system of administration department was a time of great rumour-mongering as good as all of which subsequently incited out to be loyal given they originated from a male himself.
It was Dap, despite inadvertently, who helped put Mahathir in a Prime Minister's chair.
Now, Najib has a event to settle scores upon interest of Hussein, his father as good as Tu! nku as g ood as embark upon a genuine inform of Umno as good as BN members he shouldn't margin as candidates. But will he climb to a occassion or is a ultimate MACC ploy usually to negotiate improved exit conditions for himself as good as Rosmah?
If Najib had a courage ...
But if Najib could serve up a courage to launch a fight-back, afterwards his initial purpose of bringing in MACC would be to eliminate those who have been not in his camp.
This would include Muhyiddin, who is in cahoots with Mahathir to criticise him. However, MACC or no MACC, it would be difficult for Najib to drop Muhyiddin as good as get divided with it. He would need a some-more formidable plot as good as there is no sufficient time to get a single going. However, Najib can get poetic probity by fielding usually Muhyiddin from a latter's as good as Mahathir's camp.
It would not be a great idea for Najib to container a list of BN possibilities with usually his people. He should include some from a Tunku, Hussein, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Musa Hitam as good as Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah camps as well. This is a time for them to make a comeback as good as assistance vacate Mahathir who never unequivocally had any grassroots await in Umno.
Mahathir survived by initial pitting Musa Hitam as good as Tengku Razaleigh opposite any alternative not once but twice. He himself was returned unopposed. This is a feat he stage-managed. If possibly Musa or Razaleigh had taken upon Mahathir for a Umno Presidency then, they could have beaten him.
Mahathir used everyone as good as tricked them
Mahathir, carrying used Musa to vacate Razaleigh hinting which Razaleigh won't be Deputy Prime Minister if he won -- subsequently spread rumours which a Mahathir-Musa 2M Administration would hereafter be a Mahathir Mohamad 2M Administration. Musa quiescent as good as played in to Mahathir's hands.
Mahathi! r afterw ards brought in veteran Ghaffar Baba, a strong grassroots male who had a subsidy of Malay teachers who afterwards formed a bulk of a Umno membership, as his Deputy Prime Minister. It was Ghaffar who helped to pull in votes for Mahathir as Umno president in a face of a combined attack by Razaleigh as good as Musa for a Presidency as good as Deputy Presidency. Even afterwards Mahathir would not have done it had he not perceived a subsidy of votes from 30 bootleg branches created by him.
As story has recorded, Mahathir used Anwar Ibrahim to 'kill' Ghaffar Baba. Subsequently, he had Anwar incarcerated upon trumped-up sodomy charges given a latter realised which a former was a grave risk to Umno, a Malays as good as a country.
Mahathir's past will catch up with him in a benefaction to show up his future. It should be clear when Najib announces a list of Umno as good as BN possibilities for a 13thGE as good as a Mahathir-Muhyiddin camps find they have been left out in a cold.
Even if Najib disappoints, even if he chickens out as good as submits to a older man's will in sell for some-more largesse, time has is using out. And it's not usually for Mahathir but for a bad brand name which Umno has turn thanks to greedy leaders who through a decades placed their vested interests approach forward of a party's.
It's rarely doubtful which anyone forsaken from a Mahathir as good as Muhyiddin camps would be fielded by Pakatan Rakyat, led by Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim. If during all, Pakatan should usually cruise accepting possibilities from a Tunku, Hussein, Badawi, Musa Hitam, Razaleigh as good as Najib camps who had expected to be fielded by BN but were not. The doors have been fast closing even upon this group. Brimming with immature talent, Pakatan competence not have space!
