Raised eyebrows, annoyance, snorts as well as sniggers. Those were a between a many usual responses to a plan by Umno President as well as Barisan Nasional chairman Najib Razak to seek a assistance of a Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission to vet a ruling coalition's possibilities for a stirring 13thGeneral Election.
To have it worse, there has been nothing though an meaningful silence to this proposal from a many absolute man in Umno today, Najib's former trainer as well as ex-premier Mahathir Mohamad, as well as with great reasons too.
Mahathir's son, Mukhriz, is doubtful to have a class since a father's reported US$ 44 billion in assets as well as a flight of US$ 200 billion in unwashed money last year. In fact, couple of if any of a top leaders in Umno would be means to have a grade, with a entire plan already ridiculed by a public as well as tagged as an eye-wash to curry favor in a many childish approach with voters.
Trying to shock a Devil or negotiating improved exit terms
Come on, electorate have been already ill as well as tired of a Umno-BN's neverending story of temptation as wel! l as plu ndering of a inhabitant coffers especially. So what is Najib after? Is he trying to advise Mahathir as well as his own deputy, a additionally corruption-tainted Muhyiddin Yassin, to during a behind of off? Red-hot upon a Umno grapevine is talk which Mahathir as well as Muhyiddin have struck a deal to pull out Najib prior to GE13. Is Najib trying to signal which he won't be giving up so simply as well as if he has to, he will fight back?
Those who have been examination a developments in Umno will know shortly enough. However, since a strength of Mahathir's sinister character as well as Najib's weak indecisivness, couple of hold Najib can do most to shock Mahathir. That would be similar to a kitten trying to take upon a wolf.
At a most, it competence buy a PM as well as his mother Rosmah Mansor a couple of some-more months in power, allowing them to have a some-more fitting as well as seemly exit. Instead of relinquishing a premiership prior to GE13 as Mahathir as well as Muhyiddin have been said to have demanded, Najib competence get to lead Umno-BN in to GE13 prior to stepping down as Umno boss during a party's inner choosing due to be hold later in 2013.
Mahathir conducted a inform of Umno, BN candidates
Upon presumption power in 1981, Mahathir decided, unilaterally, which his Bersih, Cekap dan Amanah (Clean, Efficient as well as Trustworthy) administration department department would not field undeserving candidates. Mahathir was judge, jury, as well as hangman in this case. No MACC or ACA for him! The possibilities knew it had nothing to do with their being 'undeserving' though which this was his approach of cleansing BN of possibilities put up by his predecessors as well as bringing in his own coterie members.
Many Umno as well as BN members who hold celebration posts were not fielded as possibilities in a General Election (GE) simply since 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 government posts possibly since his aim was to finish them off politically as well as cover up them for good. Yet, his losing possibilities in celebration elections were not usually fielded as GE possibilities though were rewarded with alternative government positions when they mislaid during a celebration as well as GE levels.
Ruthless, mean, vicious, vengeful - these have been all words used to describe Mahathir, as well as an additional strongman statesman in Malaysia - Taib Mahmud of Sarawak.
Najib is no improved than this duo. He as well as Rosmah have been usually as argumentative as well as unpopular. But for his own self-preservation, Najib should know why he contingency get Mahathir as well as Company out of a 13thGE.
Mahathir's system of administration department was anything though clean, efficient as well as infallible as clear in, between others, Barry Wain's book, "Malaysian Maverick Mahathir Mohamad in Turbulent Times." According Wain's research, during Mahathir's administration department department US$ 100billion was mislaid from a Malaysian treasury.
Mahathir stabbed Hussein Onn in a during a behind of as well as tricked Ra! zak
This was how Mahathir repaid Abdul Razak, Najib's father as well as Hussein's brother-in-law, who brought him during a behind of to Umno after carrying being sacked by Tunku Abdul Rahman for being a single of a 3 physical condition villains during a behind of a May 13 competition riots. The alternative dual physical condition villains were Razak himself as well 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 claim which a latter's mother was virtually using Petronas from her house. The Dap mysteriously received, now believed to be from Mahathir, papers in a post upon a claim as well as upon Exxon allegedly stealing Malaysian oil upon a high seas different to Petronas. Then Dap secretary-general Lim Kit Siang finished up in Court as a outcome of a papers as Exxon fought during a behind of with a authorised suit.
The story, as it goes further, is which Mahathir had Hussein's office utterly privileged out when a Prime Minister was subsequently in London for medical attention.
He additionally reportedly widespread rumours, in hinting during a allegations upon Petronas/Exxon, which Hussein had a "terrible heart condition" as well as would be stepping down as Prime Minister upon his lapse "! for heal th reasons". Mahathir's system of administration department was a time of great rumour-mongering as well as all of which subsequently incited out to be loyal since they originated from a man himself.
It was Dap, despite inadvertently, who helped put Mahathir in a Prime Minister's chair.
Now, Najib has a opportunity to settle scores upon interest of Hussein, his father as well as Tunku as well as embark upon a real inform of Umno as well as BN members he shouldn't field as candidates. But will he rise to a occassion or is a latest MACC ploy usually to come to conditions improved exit conditions for himself as well as Rosmah?
If Najib had a bravery ...
This would embody Muhyiddin, who is in cahoots with Mahathir to criticise him. However, MACC or no MACC, it would be formidable for Najib to dump Muhyiddin as well as get divided with it. He would need a some-more complex plot as well as there is no sufficient time to get a single going. However, Najib can get elegant probity by fielding usually Muhyiddin from a latter's as well as Mahathir's camp.
It would not be a great thought for Najib to container a list of BN possibilities with usually his people. He should embody some from a Tunku, Hussein, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Musa Hitam as well as Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah camps as well. This is a time for them to have a quip as well as assistance neutralise Mahathir who never unequivocally had any grassroots await in Umno.
Mahathir survived by initial pitting Musa Hitam as well as Tengku Razaleigh opposite each alternative not once though twice. He himself was returned unopposed. This! is a fe at he stage-managed. If possibly Musa or Razaleigh had taken upon Mahathir for a Umno Presidency then, they could have beaten him.
Mahathir used everybody as well as tricked them
Mahathir afterwards brought in veteran Ghaffar Baba, a clever grassroots man who had a backing of Malay teachers who afterwards shaped a bulk of a Umno membership, as his Deputy Prime Minister. It was Ghaffar who helped to pull in votes for Mahathir as Umno boss in a face of a combined attack by Razaleigh as well as Musa for a Presidency as well as Deputy Presidency. Even afterwards Mahathir would not have done it had he not perceived a backing 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 jailed upon trumped-up sodomy charges since a latter realised which a former was a grave danger to Umno, a Malays as well as a country.
Mahathir's past will locate up with him in a benefaction to haunt his future. It should be clear when Najib announces a list of Umno as well as BN possibilities for a 13thGE as well as a Mahathir-Muhyiddin camps find they have been left out in a cold.
Even if Najib disappoints, even if he chickens out as well as submits to a comparison man's will in sell for some-more largesse, time has is using out. And it's not usually for Mahathir though for a bad code name which Umno has turn interjection to greedy leaders who by a decades placed their vested interests approach ahead of a party's.
It's rarely doubtful which any one forsake! n from a Mahathir as well as Muhyiddin camps would be fielded by Pakatan Rakyat, led by Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim. If during all, Pakatan should usually consider accepting possibilities from a Tunku, Hussein, Badawi, Musa Hitam, Razaleigh as well as Najib camps who had approaching to be fielded by BN though were not. The doors have been fast closing even upon this group. Brimming with immature talent, Pakatan competence not have space!
