THE TRUTH - MAHATHIR IS AFRAID ANWAR BECOMES THE NEXT PM.
Since Anwar's expulsion fro m UMNO on 3rd Se3ptember 1998 Mahathir's greatest fear was that one day if Anwar Ibrahim took over power all his legacy will be exposed, and judging from the lengths he has gone against Anwar Ibrahim and the things he did to make sure Anwar never becomes PM there must be many very serious issues concerning Mahathir that is negative to say the least that Anwar is privy to and that Mahathir is too afraid to have exposed.
Worried he'll be exposed
Mahathir was bent on seeing that Anwar would never return to power, Anwar's trial was wrought with many questionable judicial decisions and directives and it looked totally fixed, the only trial that was worse than Anwar's is the Altantuya Shaaribu murder trial.
Mahathir became quite confident that Anwar would be a nobody politically after his jail term but was suddenly woken up from that deep slumber when the man he chose as his successor suddenly lost the two thirds majority in Parliament and was seen very likely to make a political comeback.
Almost instantly he called for Badawi to step down and make way Najib to be Prime Minister and even though the Altantuya case was hanging over Najib's head at that time he made excuses for Najib to th3e extent that he even once implied that Najib was not guilty as he had taken an oath in the mosque.
And so a Najib became PM after a lot of hassle and it was all driven by Mahathir.
There was the issue of the crooked bridge that even UMNO members talk about today that was planned by Mahathir rejected by Badawi and which Najib refused to rectify, that got Mahathir worked up but not seriously enough.
Then came the 1MDB saga and Najib's name was written all over it, moreover the Malays were getting tired of the woman who seemed to have control over so many things that she could even be driven in a car right to the airport tarmac and have baggage carried on to the plane destined for God only knows where and with so many bags with whatever were the contents.
And so a Najib became PM after a lot of hassle and it was all driven by Mahathir.
FIRST EX PM OF MALAYSIA TO BE JAILED
It seemed r that these baggage got on board the plane with no airport clearance that is the customs etc.
Mahathir could not get the goodies he was so used to get for his children and his cronies and the prominence for his son Mukhriz who it seemed quite obvious he was grooming to be the next Prime Minister he decided to take on Najib.
Now with Najib in jail and a rather unpopular UMNO head in Ahmad Zahid Hamidi who himself is riddled with corruption cases that Anwar Ibrahim fear factor is gaining momentum in his camp, and especially with him.
It is said that Anwar Ibrahim has a treasure trove of information against this old man, Anwar has said that publicly too at many a ceramah and Anwar has not forgotten how he was belittled, accused publicly of Sodomy, received a black eye from Mahathir's police Chief when in custody only because at that time Anwar was taking on him with his fiery speeches on "Corruption, Nepotism and Cronyism,' these three issues were Anwar's battle cry and it looked certain that Anwar wasa ready to take on his "mentor" Mashathir Mohammed.
We must take a a careful look to see if Anwar was really Mahathir protege.
Anwar at that time was a real threat to UMNO, he was the president of The Muslim Youth movement of Malaysia or Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (ABIM) and many UMNO youth were its members, they were more inclined to lean towards Anwar and his Islamic agenda.
PAS was keen on getting ABIM to its side and Anwar had a close relationship with Hadi Awang at the time,ABIM really looked like a threat to UMNO not ABIM particularly but Anwar and Mahathir had to get him over to his side.
Many UMNO leaders including Mahathir's then deputy Musa Hitam, Radzi Tan Sri Sheik Ahmad and even Ghaffar Baba were against the Anwar move, but Mahathis just as how he expelled Anwar from UMNO years later, brought Anwar into UMNO and the rest of the UMNO leadership did not dare utter a word as UMNO had been accustomed to do under Mahathir and thereafter to this very day.
His reason to bring Anwar into UMNO was nto to give PAS the advantage of using Anwar and ABIM and to bring Anwar under his control.
Now it looks with a character like Ahmad Zahid Hamidi it is unlikely that UMNO and win the coming General elections and that is hwy they have chosen the Monsoon to launch their election campaign.
Mahathir's fear is that Anwwar will make a bigger come back this time around, it is likely that UMNO will launch a campaign in Kelantan and Trengganu to beef up their numbers in Parliament, they have become unpopular through corruption in the west coast that they are trying to steal the East Coast votes as well.
During the last tenure of his Prime Ministership under the PH government he played a pivotal role when the demand was made on him to spell out the date when he would surrender the Prime Minister's post to Anwar and it was at this material time that the Sheraton move took place.
He openly admitted that he could not have Anwar for prime Minsiter and that is the reason he made the move, and he may have been fooled by Muhyiddin and Azmin who made him believe that the UMNO MP's woudl cross over to Bersatu.
Mahathir's fear of Anwar is no make belief it is real, the PH government to to come has to revamp the MACC, the Police Force and a appoint competent attorney general and prosecutors to once and for all rid this country of corruption, nepotism and cronyism.
