Cornered Sharizat gives up to fight another day

 Could this be the forerunner to the dissolution of Parliament

Yes she was cornered, Najib did not have the guts to tell her in the face "you are fired!" she would have fired him instead and knowing that the back door through which  she came into parliament - her senatorship closes on April 8, she decided to walk out or as she calls it "step down" on that date, and she is doing so because   the writing on the wall says it all, "IT (her senatorial status) WILL NOT BE RENEWED."

What she is doing is serving her term to the fullest she possibly can she is not  stepping down as she woudl have us believe.

From coming into parliament through the back door, after losing her Lembah Pantai seat to a PKR rookie Nurul Izzah, and then defeating Rafidah Aziz for the post of Wanita UMNO chief, this lady had a lot to thank the people for  but,  instead continues to treat them like fools.

Her statement reported in the Star of Monday 12 March 2012, "I want to do the right thing" should not only be a statement of convenience but rather what she does has to be done  right, and not use this as another  attempt to continue to fool the rakyat.

The right thing in this case is to apologise to the rakyat,  and then turn the tables on those she knows are as guilty if not more than her for abuse of power. People who allegedly used government funds to  host their daughter's engagement, the scorpene problem, the purchase of huge wardrobe allegedly again on government funds for a spouse, nepotism, cronyism and most of all corruption, expose those and she'll be doing the "right thing."

As it stands her "own decision" is not her own, it is a matter of having no choice, if she does not say she has stepped down by then the position for her will not be existent, because she needs to hold it by way of the Dewan Negara, and her senatorship ends on that day after which  she has no place as a minister unless the senatorial status is renewed, as she has no Parliamentary seat - Nurul Izzah took that away from her, and so she has no place in the Dewan Rakyat and therefore cannot hold the ministerial post she now occupies.

I am surprised at the way "the Star" so aptly put it, "Going but staying,"she is going from her ministerial position because she  has no choice, she chooses to stay on as Wanita UMNO Chief, that is something different because this kind fo practice as we all know is so rampant in UMNO so that is alright.
Typical UMNO culture.

The other more important  observation is that  she could have been omitted from Najib's list of candidates for the next elections, could this mean that the time is ripe for the dissolution of Parliament?

It sure is getting hot, Muhydiin will remain quiet, Khairy is not heard of these days and so too Mukhriz, it's brewing, it's brewing in UMNO  and what is brewing is Teh tarek and roti canai on side and Nasi Lemak and Sirup Rose  on the other, battle Royale has begun amidst the 2012 General Election campaign.

Will Muhydiin step down the way Musa did under Mahathir, or will he fight back? According to our UMNO sources his supporters are urging him to fight on and wrest control of UMNO from the mamaks. Amongst his  supporters is Mohammed bin Mohammed Taib aka Mike Tyson who still wields considerable grass root support in Selangor amongst the few  UMNO members remaining.


They that is Muhyddin, Mohd. Taib and his other supporters are to stand on a new platform to rid UMNO of non Malays who they now claim have misled and misdirected the party with the help of a some Malay factions who were in it only for material gain. This is a powerful campaign they suppose and many Malays especially in Selangor, Ulu Perak the East Coast states and Johor seem to support this cause, make no mistake Muhyiddn has more grassroot support than Najib can hope to have, he is even stronger than Mahathir according to UMNO insiders and he can turn tables.

UMNO politics is getting really interesting just watch it's heating up now, the sparks will get out of control after the next General Elections, but if Najib decides to delay the general elections Muhyiddin and gang could go for the mamak gang even earlier.

Parliament will be dissolved before the end of the month.

Diam lah Daim

I think that is the message we should  send to Diam Zainuddin, he has become Barisan's old wise man and Barisan men get senile with age, Mahahtir is a good example, as no one listens to the senile Mahahtir anymore except for the likes of Najib, and Ibrahim Ali.

No one listens to Mahahtir, even the woman, who sang his praises, who shouted his name and thanked him so much and said he was the greatest, does not listen to him. That woman  is Sharizat she praised and thanked him on the day she was elected the head of the wanita in UMNO.

Mahahtir had so much to do with it because he had fallen out with Rafidah over the National car issue, now he has told her to step down and Sharizat tells Mahahtir to go to hell.

So if no one is listening to Mahahtir, who should Najib turn to? The only best person he can think of is Diam Zainuddin who was unheard of all this time since he left the cabinet.

Daim is now singing praises of Najib, and Chua Soi Lek of all people,  claiming that that man is very brave in one breath, and then implying that all has to be done the Barisan way in the other, what he actually means is the UMNO way, because UMNO tells all the component parties what is expected of them.

The brave man in the MCA is Ong Tee Keat, he was willing to put his presidency on the line, when he decided to go head on with the Port Klang scandal. Then Najib stepped in and decided that he would handle the issue, and nothing has come out of that scandal since, so the billions that have been lost have actually been safely taken by persons known and unknown and in the process we got taken for a ride.

The next thing was to get rid of Ong, but to sack him would have  been unthinkable for an MCA that had been shattered and blasted out by the people at the last General elections, to sack him would  have meant a good portion of Ong's followers could  have left the party and weakened the dying MCA, that they were not prepared to do, so they got the sacked Chua Soi Lek back on the scene, and with UMNO's support he ousted Ong Tee Keat.

Confucius he say, " Brave men do not last in the MCA, we have seen it ever so often, all the brave men have ben sidelined and sent out, "  so how can Diam say Chua Soi Lek is brave. Diam lah.

If Chua Soi Lek was indeed brave he should have after admitting that it was him on the sex tapes demanded an investigation as to how his privacy was infringed upon , not so much for personal interests, but because that was an extremely dangerous move. he should have lodged a police report to get those who filmed him and the Police themselves should have decided on their own accord to go for those who filmed such a senior minster of the cabinet in such compromising positions no police is report is necessary when the security of the nation is under threat.

This could be used to blackmail and if you can blackmail a senior minister it could  lead to matters of internal security being at risk.

Imagine what would  have happened if it was Najib, he could have been subject to political blackmail, even  now people tend to believe that Najib is being blackmailed, he can't dismiss  Sharizat because they say he has too many skeletons in the cupboard and that explains Sharizat's comment "only the PM can ask me to go," seen by some in UMNO as a direct challenge to him.

There is the Altantuya and related Scorpene issues, there are Rosma issues, there are so many issues and UMNO people who are not in his camp are fully aware of it, is he being subject to subtle blackmail, many think so, and that is the state of our government, the UMNO led  Barisan Nasional Government.

In Chua's case the people responsible for having him filmed are top Barisan members from his own party, if that was revealed and the persons charged some of them would land in jail, so nothing ever came out of who filmed Chua Soil Lek, leaving national security issues aside the act of filming alone is  a crime so what are our Police doing, looking at doctored tapes with Anwar Ibrahim look alikes trying to scrutinize it and then say the picture is real it is not doctored.

The public did not buy it in fact each time it came out more Malays threw their support with the opposition, the people have got wiser, they do not buy into your lies and con games.

And now of all people Daim Zainuddin has to come out and try and prop up a useless situation, very few Malaysians these days care too hoots for this ex Finance Minister's opinions, in fact like Mahahtir his comments will lead a lot of people away from the BN, it is clear that these are desperate moves by UMNO who have always relied on Malay support and who are losing it by the thousands by the day to woo the Chinese vote which the considered irrelevant at one time.

So UMNO the party that once boasted it coudl go it on its own is now so reliant on the other races, the ones they called names, the ones they wrote nasty things about and wanted it included as  literature in schools, where are you today UMNO, that you ahve to go Diam Zainuddin to shove up support from the Chinese community.

Diam shoud come out and say Najib is brave if he has the guts to do what he is planning to do after the General Elections, introduce surtax, his I-care medical scheme to fleece the people of another 10 percent of their income, increase the price of petrol, raise the prices of commodities in the process and in the process make living even more expensive.

That is what Najib has planned for after the elections, then the people who vote him will realise what they have got themselves into.

As an ex finance Minister these are the issues with which he should measure Najib's competence and efficiency, and it is because he can't do that with Najib that he has said the PM should not be the Finance Minister. Why then did he not tell and challenge Mahahtir when Mahathir did that? Oh Daim we all know you do not have to tell us we all know.

We have a failed government, Najib hasn't got a clue on how to manage this nation, and if we allow this government to continue for another term we could come out worse than the Phillipines and Brunei, is that what we want?

So Diam la Diam

Sack Hishamuddin

It is time the Prime Minister asked for Hishamuddin Hussein Onn's score card and see how he has fared in meeting his KPIs.

If he is the minister of circus clowns he may come out with flying colours and that too only maybe, but for Home Minster - he has failed both -   the ministry and the nation terribly and deserves to be urgently sacked.

There are just too many cases of  incompetence from this boy that the Prime Minister has to act urgently.

The Allah issue with the Christians is one issue he was unable to handle, a no issue was blown out of proportions and with the help of the Prime Minister who even fanned the issue  it went out of control. Hishamuddin had no clue on how to solve a problem created by his own government. The word Allah for God is used by all in all countries and this practice even predates Islam and yet in Malaysia it became an issue.

The Tok Guru came out and said Allah is for everyone, if Hishamuddin had taken a Que from the Tok Guru it would  have been diffused without becoming the political issue UMNO made it to be. He should  have followed basic Malays principals, basic human principals to be more accurate, he should  have left  politics aside and asked everyone to take heed of what Nik Aziz said, and let the issue rest. People woudl have respected him if he had done that.

His arrogance has left the issue still hanging without a resolution the courts too seem to be taking their own time and no one will believe you if the PM says well it's with the Courts, it's issues like this and the the way the cases are handled that gives us aa clear picture of the  influence the government has on the judiciary, for the time being the delay is just what the government and UMNO requires and it amy continue to remain there for a long, long time.

Then there is the Bersih rally and the brutal attack on ordinary citizens by the police force who come directly under the purview of his Ministry.

Obviously the police denied any wrong doing, thousands at the scene gave evidence and yet this man decided to back his police force going along with their lies, till an  inquiry proved otherwise, Hishamuddin Hussein Onn did not even have the guts to apologise to the people for his wrong judgement, if he is a football fan he should take a leaf of Kenny Daglish's apology in the Surez issue. No stones were left unturned in that apology and Suarez was referred to as a liar. Is our Home Minsiter man enough for that?

The latest issue of a foreign journalist, who is supposed to have committed a crime in his country which is not a crime in our country. He was deported with great haste and Hishamuddin claims that he was not  aware  of the court order prohibiting this extradition to a country with whom we do not have an extradition treaty.

This young man can face the death sentence in Saudi Arabia for what he had done, I just can't help but ask the minister what was the motivation in this peculiar case for him to send this young boy out there to face what could very likely be a death sentence.

Even if he does not receive the death sentence on what grounds did he send this boy over, he was no terrorist, he was running away from people who would very well execute him, there is no extradition treaty and even if there was one he would have recourse to our courts before he is extradited so why this unilateral decision by this minister to extradite this boy.

This Keris carrying minister who does nothing but agitates the citizens is our Minister of Home affairs, under his watch the police have been accused of  all sorts of  barabric acts against the citizens, he has done little or nothing about it and yet he remains our Home Minister.

Najib Tun Razak should whilst he  contemplates sacking Sharizat, whilst he is  politically maneuvering around his  deputy  in attempts to push him off and whilst he pays millions to PR firms to boost the image of both him  and his spouse, pay some urgent attention to this incompetent minister - sack him.

It is now romoured that this man who until recently was  being touted to replace Muhydin as the next deputy PM a stop gap one to eventually make way for Mukhriz, is now being lined up by Najib to be the next  Menteri Besar of Johor - just imagine Hishamuddin Hussein Onn  as MB for Johor, what a laugh.

So what is Najib up to,  well nothing really our UMNO connections tell us he is following instructions of Mahathir Mohammed.

There is a great probability that Hisham will lose his Parliamentary constituency which is made up of forty percent Chinese voters, he'll be allowed a state constituency too, and with that he'll take the MB's position, it has been beautifully maneuvered to set the stage for a quick succession of Mahahtir's son Mukhriz.

With Hisham's removal the stage is set for Mukhriz to move up the ladder, he'll take the home Ministry that will give him the clout to start removing people with corruption cases piled agaisnt them, cases of corruption amongst the UMNO elite for which you do not need magnifying glasses, you'll be able to detect that with both eyes shut,  and in that process start wiping out UMNO strong men and women not in the fold,which will of course include the current DPM, Sharizat and Khairy.

The cases may never come up if the people "volunteer" to leave peacefully - UMNO politics.


Najib does not have too many alternatives, there is too much in the closet and he has to take what is being offered by Mahathir, Hisham knows what is happening and is very angry, he was supposed to take the PM's post after Najib albeit as a stop gap measure, now he will not be able to do that, he is being sod by his own cousin, and it's too hard to swallow.

Mahahtir is desperate too, he has to get his son up there to control the events, he is already on panic mode, his recent call that we should investigate all the other "Tuns" their children and other family members indicates clearly that this man is getting nervous with the pressure being piled on him,  it looks like there is a lot to be exposed in as far as he is concerned and if Mukhriz does not move up fast that may happen sooner than later, and Anwar is a real threat.

Mahathir is so scared of Anwar he is capable of anything, and if anyone has to be watched under the ISA now it is Mahathir. The Tengku was never wrong in having sacked this man from UMNO back in 1969.

Najib is going to be allowed only one term after elections, even that may not be possible, he may have to leave earlier, after the next GE the stage is set to kick him out as soon as Mukhriz has dealt with Muhyidin and for him to take over.

Sharizat is the key they have  to remove her first  to remove Muhyidin,  and they are finding that part tricky and difficult,  she will take on Najib and Mahahthir in the process and they know she knows too much,  and they are aware that in her case it is a case of  , "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" and Sharizat is just saying that to Najib, "Don't you dare, you have enough skeletons in the cupboard for me to send you and your entire household to hell."

As much as he likes too Najib can't do anything to Sharizat, so he is sucking thumb, right now wondering what to do with her there,  it is said that BN will lose at least three hundred thousand Malay votes from the Sharizat issue alone, the Malays are getting angrier by the day over this cow issue.

Moreover the recent sentencing of Rahman Bakri's and Mohd Rusli Busro has angered the Malays even more.

Judge Azhaniz Teh Azman Teh,  yesterday found Abdul Rahman (left) guilty on eight counts of making false claims amounting to RM80,000, fined him RM50,000 or a year's jail for each charge.

The six-year prison term will served concurrently while the fines, if not paid, would result in another eight years’ imprisonment.

The Malays now see the big picture, here is a case involving  more than  200 million ringgit, Sharizat's husband would  not have got it if not for her position, it was given to her by Muhyidin, they took the money used it for their own purposes, and they walk free, whilst  this man has only an RM80 thousand ringgit offense and is now sentenced to serve a prison term fined RM50,000 because he like the rest of the Malays in UMNO are just pawns, his being charged and sentenced is carried out under the instructions of the UMNO elite - they say to hide the more powerful.

What on earth happened to Khir Toyo they ask, what on earth happened to the billions in Port Klang they ask and what is Najib doing? What happened to a school teacher who became a Menteri Besar and a millionaire in the process and now is quietly retired. what happened to the thousands of others who have earned dirty money in the millions and many especially the elite in the billions, they ask.

One UMNO Branch leader in Selangor had this to say, if your hands are dirty how can you reprimand others, and that is precisely the case here.

Muhyidin, Sharizat and Khairy will support the move to move Hishamuddin out,  they have nothing to lose by that, but touch one of them now and all hell breaks loose, and they are prepared for it, but is Najib and UMNO ready for yet another big UMNO shake up?

In all this  the biggest threat to the nation right now is Mahathir A/L Iskandar Kutty, yes he is a threat to the peace and internal security of the country, it is his patronage that has got Ibrahim Ali moving and why do you think Ibrahim Ali can threaten and provoke other Malaysians with impunity the way he does now, who is he anyway, if not a tool of Mahathir Mohammed.
