AKMAL SALEH TO BE REMOVED SAYS SOURCES.

 

 BREAKING NEWS

Top UMNO sources on all sides of UMNO's divide are agreed on one thing 

Its Youth Chief  Dr. Muhamed Akmal Saleh is out of touch and,  "not good for UMNO politics of today."

8th Jan '24

The news broke from a source in the Hishamuddin Hussein Onn camp and prominent members from several sides of the divide have echoed the same sentiment.

 

 Is the Pemuda UMNO Chief Getting irrelevant?

The Hishamuddin and Ismail Sabri camps are afraid they may become irrelevant unless they can get into the mainstream before or by the time Najib gets his house arrest secured - their side kick Akmal is proving to be excessive baggage.  

                                                                                 

                                                 Hoping to remain relevant

                                             

According to a senior UMNO Supreme Council  member it was Akmal who mooted the call that UMNO was afraid  of DAP when the Najib Solidarity Rally was called off, and that he did so  without even knowing the real reasons (and that call of his  was echoed by PAS), UMNO decided to call it off. "He is a loose cannon and is not healthy for our type of politics."

Another UMNO member, a high ranking UMNO veteran said, "UMNO is changing its brand of politics and our approach has to keep up with the times,we can't have members who fire like loose cannons we are not PAS", he said in an apparent reference to PAS Siti Mastura, " and both these people ada title Doctor."

Akmal has always been seen as leaning towards Ismail Sabri and Hishamuddin  Hussein Onn and has been throwing the spanner into the works of the present day government and these jibes were strongly believed to be at the prodding of both these political masters of his.

Things are changing in UMNO with the strong possibility of Najib returning under house arrest,  the belief that that would enable him to work more effectively from behind the scenes, this freedom comes at a cost and Akmal  is part of that cost as he has been a nuisance - more to Zahid than to Anwar who chose just to ignore him and allow Zahid to deal with him.

He is seen as a loud mouth one Perak UMNO official  retorted, "Tin Kosong, bising je, KK Mart, apa da Jadi? Bodoh"

Moreover the electorate has got more sophisticated, all the useless racial and religious ranting is not being bought by the majority of Malays,  they have got used to that nonsense and though Akmal feels it is the way to go, the Malays  are now looking for real returns from their votes, they want better perks, housing, schools, and facilities the goodies are not reaching them they are fed up with handouts. 

Job opportunities are few many are now going into business on their own, mostly as food vendors, the young are in the  GRAB and other delivery services and are looking for better opportunities in business.

Musa Kidam,  a grab rider  had this to say when asked about what he thought about Muhamad Akmal.

"I ride the Grab delivery service, that bike over there is my own, take a look it is (rosak macam besi buruk) rotten, ask Akmal instead of shouting pointless things and creating racial and religious issues from nothing to make noise with the government to scrap the import and excise duties from Motorbikes for people like me,  so I can buy a decent bike which is  bigger, is safer to ride, is more comfortable  and has better features and to also extend better long term  loan facilities to persons like us" so we can earn more. Stop shouting useless things creating chaos, and making people like me suffer in business because I m Malay, every time he does that my tips get affected as my clients are mostly non Malays and they tip as much as five ringgit per ride. 

"The Bike is an essential part of our  job, without it we will have no income, what is this  "bodoh" doing there shouting and making noise about unproductive issues, Ketua Pemuda UMNO? tak guna la",  no use to me at all, he only wants to appear in the newspapers everyday so people think he is doing a good job, "kita bukan bodoh la bang," was what this young rider had to tell me, he really seemed to be disgusted, and if that is the mood, of the ordinary man in the street, it's no surprise there is consensus with the  big guns who are out to remove Dr. Muhamad Akmal Saleh.

THE ANWAR IBRAHIM DELIMMA (AID)

 

 by Toffee

30/12 2024

 AGAIN IT IS A HEADS YOU WIN, TAILS I LOSE, SO I'LL PLAY BOTH - A REAL DILEMMA.

Mahathir Mohammad has  not given up on his quest to unseat Anwar Ibrahim, according to a close aide of his eldest son never a day goes by these days for Mahahtir Mohammed that he does not think about Anwar Ibrahim, it is not that Anwar has been affectionately  ingrained in his thoughts but that since those days in 1997 when he knew Anwar was looking to unseat him Mahathir had this fear that Anwar would jail him and he knew why.

 

     

 On the one hand - the unholy trinity    

  

 

  Mahathir dons the colours he hated so much all for his own wicked agenda

 

Anwar was given unfettered access to Mahathir's  moves in government and in party politics that Anwar knew almost everything including the colour of Mahathir's underwear, how he enriched his sons, his cronies his, proxies and the massive corrupt practices of the Mahathir Government.

The last straw was when Anwar refused to bail out his sons following the 1997 economic crisis,  roumer has it that one of Mahathir's sons was even contemplating suicide and when he attempted to bail out his sons Anwar refused to allow him,  the doting father was crushed. It was then, when Mahathir realised  had to crush Anwar so bad he'd never return to political office 

                                                                                                 Anwar's pick or has he been forced into the corner

Anwar was a lad whom he had brought into government and was being groomed to take over government, he trusted Anwar and to say that Anwar was almost a son to him would be an understatement, now this foster son who had gained so much was turning against his foster father and his children meant he  had to be destroyed and Mahathir went on full throttle using the police force and everything within his means to destroy Anwar for good.

Now that very same Mahathir shudders each time he talks about Anwar, he has little time  and Anwar  is undoing the entire History of Mahathirism  he knows he must stop it even if it means knocking on Hell's door so close to his final days.

Mahathir has teamed up with the Backdoor Boys of Bersatu and PAS to now unseat Anwar, he is trying very hard to drum Malay support and to do that he is getting hold of all Malays leaders many even from UMNO to get rid of Anwar.

To remain relevant and to wad of this attack by  Mahathirist Anwar has to have alliances of his own and so he has turned to the other end of the evil spectrum - Zahid, Najib and gang.

With Zahid Najib on his side he gains control of the Hishamuddin and Ismail Sabri camps as they know their tenure in UMNO is at the mercy of Najib and Zahid's influence.

The likes of Hishamuddin Hussein, Ismail Sabri and more from UMNO are in league with Mahathir, if he could he'd get even Najib on his side,  that is the level of  his desperation and this sly old man has ways of pulling the rabbit out of the hat at the last minute to turn the tables.

 

Being kept in check for the time being

Najib  however is not biting the Mahathir carrot  and so too Zahid all trust for Mahathir is gone so they will remain with Anwar as long as Anwar protects their interests and Anwar requires that support to be able to have a good chance of retaining a Malay majority. With Najib and Zahid on Anwar's side Hishaamuddin and Ismail Sabri and most UMNO big wigs will not move to the other side.

The DAP I feel is well informed of this strategy and it is a matter of where they swim, with PAS and fall prey into establishing an Islamic state or with Zahid  and house arrested Najib a more acceptable form of government.

As long as these two and Rosmah of course are looked after Najib and Zahid will support Anwar. 

Muhyiddin may also switch  his allegiance to Najib and Zahid if it suits his purposes, now that PAS is chasing the Prime Ministers post in case of a victory of that alliance Bersatu is not too keen with the PAS relationship and there is a wedge in the relationship.

Anwar has to keep the Malay populace on his side, so he throws in the goodies in that direction, it is not directed at individuals with huge super expensive contracts but to the ordinary Malays and thus keep corruption at bay.

It is a case of "what has happened has happened lets move on the best we can, and rebuild the nation", but of course he is on the go for Mahathir and Diam and all the cronies of Mahathirism, is he really trying to bring them to justice or is this just keep them at bay.

Some of the mega Mahathir cronies are now being targeted, a non Malay and with what is suspected to be the war chest of Mahathir himself held in proxy by this person. The Old man is wary of this and so he is fighting tooth and nail, though in his old age the teeth have all fallen out and he is on dentures and is finding it rather difficult to bite.

For Mahathir, Hadi Awang and PAS,  Chinese of course are their favourite bogeymen, now they have also added Christians to the pack and wild allegations that Christians are trying to turn this nation Christian is also on the cards.

 DAP are the favourite bogeyman, DAP to them is representative of the Chinese and not the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) because they know MCA will follow and  is easy prey to do their bidding, they always have.

The NEP was designed to make the Malay subservient to the Master, it was clearly planned by UMNO and PAS and other Malay based parties benefited from its modus operandi, using fake scare techniques based on race and religion, the Malay Mass is manipulated to the extreme and the triggers are all in place, each time you need to switch on sentiment you play on these issues and the persons you are attacking is the bogeyman.  

WE ARE INADVERTENTLY PLAYING INTO PN AND MAHATHIR'S GAME PLAN.  

Anwar knows how it is played and he is now vary it will be used against him so he has to walk the very thin line to the extent he has to do things that anger the very people who put him in place as Prime Minister, the then opposition, and now we have become the opposition again and I fear to our own detriment.

The issue Anwar has to watch is the PAS equation. PAS is the famous self soliciting party that will swing and sleep on any bed that offers it some importance to advance their own agenda. Political prostitution experts it is again the game of PAS for the present.

IS THERE A  DANGEROUS HADI AWANG,  PAS PLAN  WE KNOW LITTLE ABOUT?

Make no mistake Hadi wants a total Malay Muslim Government only to be able to enrich himself and his members in the party, the Malays will fall for anything they say and when the going gets bad it is easy, blame the non Malays especially the Chinese and to fuel it create an issue with the Christians too.

Hadi has a huge agenda, he has a para military organisation that Polices all PAS and PAS led functions, a uniformed unit and we know where Hadi's loyalties towards these ends lie.  

I'll be least surprised if he is trying to form a Revolutionary Guard  of sorts like that of  Iran's who'll surface once PAS takes power..PAS uniformed unit.

                              Both Units belong to PAS  not Our Armed forces or Police 

 

 

 

 

                                                                      Military? PAS militia or just attire

 

It is therefore no surprise that there are Arab countries including Saudi Arabia that have made this man "persona no gratia," in the countries. The Saudi's even branded him a terrorist.

The Police have to seriously look carefully into this PAS uniformed unit (AMAL) and see if they have links outside the country and their own agenda? Is it a para military unit?, It sure looks  like one and even if there is the slightest suspicion disband the unit without any delay.

OUR CHOICE

Looking at the situation Malaysians have a choice condemn Anwar and go all out to get him out,he has been terrible at least that is how he looks that means getting PKR out and allowing a PAS led Government to take over the country or live with what Anwar is doing right now, honestly he has not choice, it has to be done that way.

Anwar has improved the economic situation in the country, he is reducing our debts we are really improving so lets not get sentiment get the better of us, let us read the politics behind the whole situation and make our choice Anwar of PAS PM or even a PM led by the nose by PAS.

 

GOOD CHANCE FOR ANWAR TO BE APPOINTED PM

 By Toffee

20th November 2022

APPOINTMENT OF PM MUST BE TRANSPARENT.

Zahid backs PH as more UMNO MP's call for his resignation, with BN Anwar has 111 seats.

"At any cost Anwar must never be Prime Minister", that is the battle cry of all the parties that have been aligned to Barisan Nasional and that included Perikatan Nasional.

With Barisan Nasional and Pdependin N later  there was a guaranteed gravy train for each MP on their side of the fence depending on rank, and the monies ran into the hundreds of millions, that was the only reason these MPs were and are in  in politics regardless of which side of the divide they sit on today.

The gravy train included allocations for the people which were pocketed even in Covid times instead of going to the poor  help the poor who were without income if you still remember,  much of these monies  have not been accounted for to this day, then there are high ranking positions for MPs who did not make ministerial positions as heads of GLCs paying them  salaries in the millions, additional ministers, and deputy ministers and more, not including multi billion dollar and multi million dollar contracts given to RM2/ companies, owned by the leadership or their cronies. This was the cronyism Anwar was speaking in the days he was UMNO Deputy President and finance Minister.

Notice the Slogan in this picture - that's what terrifies those against him becoming Premier

Since 1997 after  the then powerful Anwar Ibrahim after moving aside Ghafar Baba - the then quiet servant to Mahathir Mohammed  began his quest for the elimination of Corruption, Nepotism and  Cronyism and was preparing himself to take on Mahathir. It was so obvious Anwar was out to unseat Mahathir  that he Mahathir, brought up trumped up charges and jailed Anwar.  The call of Corruption, Nepotism, and Cronyism was seen as directed directly to Mahathir, Anwar was making ti clear he was taking on Mahathir Mohammed.

Talk at that time among Mahathir supporters was, when Anwar is released from jail he will be a nobody and so it seemed, but with his release from jail he showed that he could first destroy the two thirds majority held by the BN, together with the DAP  Penang, Selangor and Perak fell to the coalition and BN especially UMNO was bewildered, it was beyond expectations, on that fateful night when my friend Ajit Singh called me,  I was at a dinner it wazs only 7.30 at night and Ajit was so excited, he told me, "BN has fallen in Penang, clean sweep, Penang has fallen and Gerakan and MCA have disappeared from the island."

I did not believe it, it was only 7.30 in the evening, how could the results be out, my dinner was in Melaka I was at table with old friends, they laughed and one of them said, "what nonsense, you sure your friend in Penang is not drunk," that was the level of disbelief.

Mahathir Mohammed held Badawi responsible for the loss of the two thirds majority and forced him out and installed Najib, who even at that time was already tainted with the Altantuya scandal, into power. 

To Mahathir at the time  Altantuya scandal did not matter he even made excuses for Najib, he wanted Badawi out becausehe did not get his crooked bridge and moreover Badawi sanctioned the RCI on the Lingam case which even exposed Mahathir and he came up with his famous "I can't remember" excuses in court.

Najib came in and things got worse, Mahathir's  relations with Najib were at an all time low, Najib blames on the crooked bridge and after the 2013 elections it was certain that Anwar would be able to unseat Najib.

Sensing this Najib got him jailed with the same charges Mahathir had got him for earlier, but even then Anwar looked strong and was almost certain to come back, all the while since losing the two thirds majority the fear of Anwar worked Mahathir up so much he was at the point of goign mad. 

"If you can't beat him, join him, use his power base then unseat him" was what Mahaathir was working on the day he decided to team up with Pakatan Harapan. 

PH would not have him, but for the assurances that he would come in, be an interim PM and hand over the position to Anwar the day Anwar is released.

Mahathir joined PH, knowing that if he won he would be able to cast Anwar aside again and he did that with the Sheraton move, Anwar trusted this dirty old man who had nothing but hate for Anwar.

To Mahathir the name Anwar is terrifying, to the rest of the UMNO members it is too and to many Anwar defeats the purpose they are in politics  and that is - make money so Anwar has to be put off at all costs and all those who ensure this are part of that gravy train, of kickbacks, contracts with hiked up costs, or just ordinary cash.

Now in the present 2022, that Anwar has taken the Lions share of the seats in Parliament, h  the forces that be in Politik Melayu will not have it and so the the wheels of the  Muafakat Nasional   begins to roll.   

The jigsaw falls in place Muafakat Nasional the game plan hatched even before the elections were called is now being put in place.

The BN, PN and PAS has had a tacit agreement that should none of them have a clear majority to form a government and should Pakatan Harapan get the most seats they would then opt to put the wheels in motion for the Muafakat Nasional Jig.

 

                    Muafakat Nasional it may materialise without Zahid

 

The Agreement as it stands has the party with the most seats holding the Prime Minister's position.

The question now to ask is will PAS claim the position of Prime Minister? 

If not on what kind of understanding will the position be given to a PN MP or a Barisan MP.

ZAHID BACKS ANWAR FOR PM 

For some reason or other, Zahid was not actually in Muafakat Nasional jig as we discover later, he got all BN Mps to sign an undertaking in the form of a pledge that he will decide who UMNO teams up with should BN not get an absolute majority.

Much earlier even before Muhyiddn became PM, Anwar and Zahid were in talks and Zahid was willing to cede the PM's position to Anwar, this was later denied by both, looks like the plan was still intact just in case either party did not get the absolute party.

Now that that plan has been has come into the open with Zahid backing PH,  calls for Zahid to step down as UMNO head is getting louder, especially as it is now being said he is in favour of a coalition with PH. 

My UMNO sources say it is something both he and Anwar agreed upon before the elections took place and it was conditional if PH needed the numbers.

PN is looking like it has the upper hand or so they claim, if they do form the government, the pressures of introducing more Syariah controls will now increase, dress codes to go to Government departments, restriction of Pubs operating, and what about the gambling licenses for the four D outlets, Toto and even the likes of Genting Highlands? 

Only a PH/BN coalition can stop this now.

Consider this;

 How will the control of PAS on the Federal Government reflect on Foreign Direct Investment?

How will it reflect on the Ringgit?

How will it reflect on the stock Market? 

How will all these reflect on the business climate in Malaysia?

Will the government of the day be able to manage the economy of the country?

Any further dip in the Malaysian Ringgit will put the pressure on the price of goods especially the essentials, there will be pressure on wages and that will affect productivity.

It is already been forecasted that should BN or PN win and form the government the economy will suffer as there is a lack of confidence from foreign investors  and that looks like a reality now. See my earlier article 

A Government headed by Anwar will be the best bet, Anwar has the credentials, both Nationally and internationally recognised by business circles and Governments alike. On the hand  BN and PN have proven that they can't manage the country economically and the governments corrupt to the core.

Zafrul was a failure to say the least and both Ismail Sabri and Muhyiddin ruined the economy of the country by raiding the provident funds to pay workers from their own monies.

It really looks dangerous we are going into a situation where we may give "flowers to monkeys". Monkeys of course delight on flowers  their aroma, the colour and the sheer beauty but soon crush it as it is of no use to them - that Malay proverb will become a reality if due care is not taken in the formation of the next government.

Projects may be revived and at what cost, is the City in the Jungle going to be revived, if it is will the terms of "Malaysia My Second Home," scheme be reverted to the old one?

Will  the government hold good on its promise to investors in that project where it is rumored that buyers of the houses would be given Permanent Residence status in the country?

A lot has to be looked into, there is a great risk this nation faces and the people who make the crucial decisions on the future of this country have to weigh  their options with care and cast selfish self interest aside. 

The nation is waiting anxiously, it is commonsense to have the party that has won the most seats present its proposal to form government first and  that could even be a minority government, it has happened before in England when Harold Wilson of the Labour Party formed a minority government. /why are the losers being asked to do the same?

Anwar should be asked first to form the government  and if he can't form the government then and only then should the next party be called, calling both parties together puts him at a disadvantage being the party with the highest number of seats he must be accorded the advantage of being called first.

We know how our politicians work, if he is called and if he has BN as Zaid is backing him, then others will follow, as it seems right now Muhyiddin is doing a back door come in again.

The results may  be  different if the announcement to call Anwar and PH to present their case to the King before any other move with any other political party, the Sarawak and Sabah parties would sway that is our politics in this country.

My earlier article titled UMNO, Bersatu, PAS in the Muafakat Nasional Jig  and your choice in GE addressed and predicted this situation, a close friend of mine a Senior Pakattan Harapan member said I was talking nonsense, now the nonsense is unfolding right in front of our eyes.

Will Malaysia ever progress, with people who besides stealing the Nations wealth can also steal an Election
