A New Prime Minister prior to GE-13?
by Wong Choon Mei, Malaysia Chronicle
It looks like Malaysia will be removing a brand brand new Prime Minister even prior to a general election, during large expected in June, is held. Embattled Prime Minister Najib Razak might shortly step down shortly in foster of his deputy Muhyiddin Yassin citing health reasons, but ultimately, a 59-year-old Najib would be a ultimate casualty of their UMNO party's infighting as good as fright of losing a Federal supervision to Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim as good as a latter's Pakatan Rakyat coalition.
Over a weekend, rumors were rife which Najib would dissolve Parliament upon January twenty-six in a bid to stymie a supposed maneuver by Muhyddin as good as former Premier Mahathir Mohamad to reject him as UMNO President as good as Prime Minister of a nation prior to a 13th GE is held.
Such talk was shortly overtaken by even hotter speculation which Najib had depressed ill. According to Sarawak Report, doctors have been upon standby all weekend. There is small disbelief a aria upon Najib as good as his mother Rosmah Mansor have been tremendous especially over a past few weeks when they were both a targets of a string of shocking crime expose's by controversial businessman Deepak Jaikishan.
The first couple's noisy overpower to a scorching allegations as good as Najib's unequivocally notable 'absence' from a open limelight over a past fortnight had stirred suspicion something was up. Some even speculated which Najib might have left abroad for treatment.
"All you can contend is which a BN administration department must immediately explain a tangible situation. We all know something is not right when a PM doesn't seem to ! be aroun d. There is no matter issued as to his whereabouts as good as there have been no rebuttals to a unequivocally serious claims done by Deepak," PKR MP for Batu Tian Chua told Malaysia Chronicle.
Banking upon magnetism votes from a confused Malay electorate
Najib took over as UMNO President as good as a country's 6th Prime Minister in Apr 2009
after assisting Mahathir as good as Muhyiddin to reject Abdullah Badawi who was blamed for a UMNO-BN's diseased performance in a 2008 elections. Now, as good as rsther than ironically, Najib might find himself toppled in most a same dismissive way which he had helped to pack Badawi off into a domestic wilderness.
It has been an open tip which UMNO 'warlords' have been tussling for seats to contest during GE13, as good as Najib had used his prerogative as a decision-maker of a last review to say a upperhand. And despite a myriad 'spin' by media advisers from both sides, it is good good known which Najib as good as Rosmah wanted to call for polls usually after a UMNO-BN's full 5-year term was up, while Muhyiddin as good as Mahathir have pushed for elections to be held as early as last year.
When Muhyddin told a press during a spin of a brand brand new year it was improved for a GE13 date to remain a 'mystery', it further bolstered a 'conspiracy theory' circulating around town which Najib would be bundled out soon. Muhyiddin would then take over as good as concede Parliament to expire undissolved, with a pro-BN Election Commission calling for national polls usually in Jun so as to concede a 'wounds' in UMNO time to reanimate as good as a nation especially a predominant Malay adults to get used to a brand brand new PM during a helm.
"They have been promissory note upon Muhyiddin's pro-Malay picture to ! seaside up UMNO-BN's reason upon energy as good as a Malays' fright of a different as good as magnetism for Najib's illness if indeed he is sick to assistance them," said Tian.
"We have been now in uncharted section since you do not know what tricks UMNO-BN will pull to cling to power. Everything will depend upon what announcements will be done in a next few days. We will get a clearer picture then."
Ambitious Muhyiddin & 'kamikaze' Dr M
In mid-December, domestic sources had told Malaysia Chronicle which UMNO divisions in
3 states Johor, Terengganu as good as Perak had started a round rolling to get Najib to step down, citing his flourishing liability to a BN bloc since of his crime scandals expecially in tie to a Scorpene submarines as good as a Altantuya Shaariibuu murder.
The tell-tale signs which infighting had reached a conduct came when rumors of secular riots were spread by several pro-UMNO bloggers. Coming eerily prohibited upon a heels of warnings issued by UMNO-linked leaders such as Ibrahim Ali as good as Shahrizat Jalil, a rumors fueled fright of a reprisal of a May 13, 1969 secular riots which left thousands injured as good as hundreds dead.
Creating open fright by using threats of secular riots to relieve adults as good as stop them from raising questions is a 'hallmark' tactic of UMNO leaders to mask internal maneuverings. The May thirteen riots have been unprotected as an UMNO conspiracy to reject a then boss Tunku Abdul Rahman. It was a energy tussle which catapulted Najib's dad Abdual Razak Hussein as good as Mahathir Mohamad into power.
As such, when a ultimate spate of May thirteen rumours were set off recently, seasoned domestic watchers braced for another 'mutiny' in a topmost ranks of a UMNO leadership.
UMNO watchers hold which Mahathir Mohamad, a main 'puppet master' in UMNO, has decided to throw his weight during a back of Muhyiddin as good as outcome an 11th-hour shift in care nonetheless most have cautioned which such a pierce might boomerang as good as create even greater infighting in UMNO.
Hence, a 'minor stroke' rumours to concede Najib to step down 'gracefully' upon health reasons. Whether or not, Najib was unequivocally sick did not matter. As distant as his rivals in UMNO have been concerned, bad health is merely a car for Najib to 'surrender' his power.
"Mahathir is a kamikaze fighter. He doesn't need puncture laws or any law if he wants to do something. Look during how he dissolved a aged UMNO as good as re-created UMNO Baru, demeanour during how he threw Anwar Ibrahim into jail, declared no holds barred fight upon Abdullah Badawi," a maestro domestic spectator had told Malaysia Chronicle last month.
"But a option of loitering GE13 as good as imposing martial law is out. The UMNO warlords know if they do that, they will unequivocally finish up with nothing but prison as good as infamy. It is improved to take a possibility during a ballot boxes. After all, they have already done so most gerrymandering as good as they have so most wealth overseas, they might as good try their luck in a courts if a brand brand new system of administration prosecutes them for plundering."
"There's no disbelief Mahathir is trying to shift a PM to boost a morale in UMNO prior to going true into GE13. He has always been a biggest gambler of them all. He is peaceful to put all his chips upon winning big with Muhyiddin's pro-Malay image. To do that, they will stir up Malay sentiments. So far, there has usually been rhetoric. Now you have been hearing talk of secular clashes. It is therefore probable which what happens next will be tangible incidents. The grapevine goes which they might stir up small! inciden ts here as good as there to rally a Malays together as good as they could do this with a assistance of UMNO hot-heads as good as a Chinese as good as Indian underworld."
