We are all very tired.
It happens year after year.
RM 250 million is a lot of cow.
It is also a lot of bull.
We are not goats.
We do not eat from feedlots.
But we vote at the booth.

Dissolution of Parliament in March.
Expecting the worst Najib has set March for the dissolution
of Parliament, it will be after the passing the bill to remove the Internal
Security act.
The bill will have the full support of Parliament, this time
around the BN, and in particular Najib, Mahathir Mohammed, and some of their
cronies will want it more than anyone else, even more than those who are
currently being held by this draconian piece of legislation.
There will be a motion to repeal the ISA in March and
depending on the outcome of the elections the new government if it is led by
the BN will reinstate the ISA if they win with a clear majority, or the bill may be held in ambiance as it will
then be awaiting Royal consent and accordingly it will either receive or not
receive Royal consent.
This is the game being
played and a plan of this government, fearing that they might be ousted in the
next General Elections they are taking all measures to protect themselves. They
fear that the armed forces and the police may break ranks and follow the orders
of the government of the day, and so in order to ensure that they can use whatever means within their power they may try and retake Parliament by foul means, and if they fail take flight from the country, to do this safely they’ll have to
revoke the ISA lest they become victims
of their own folly.
An UMNO source says this was the brain child of the Attorney
General who himself is afraid of being held accountable should the Barisan lose
the next General Elections. It has received the tacit approval of Mahathir and
Najib and the possibility of the formation of another National Operations Council (NOC)
is very real, the irony is it is being put in place by Najib Tun Razak – like
father like son.
The NOC idea is to be the first option should they lose the General Elections.
The NOC idea is to be the first option should they lose the General Elections.
Huge sums of money are being transferred out of Malaysia on a
daily basis, it is worst than the Indian Black market, and the only person
capable of making such transactions is none other than an Indian who
masquerades as a Malay, he has a an entire brigade of money changers working for him, he does not need sophisticated banking systems to take that money out.
The situation is rife the man who said what is happening in
Syria, and Egypt cannot happen in
Malaysia is now rather quiet, he sees the possibility that it will happen here,
the people are fed up, and they want their dignity back.
The people of Malaysia want their country back and in that
process there will be assemblies, peaceful or otherwise, no Malaysian rally has
been violent, it only became violent
because the government made it violent by use of brutal police force, and the people who participated in those rallies were victims of violence. It has been proven in the Tung Shin Hospital incident. It
happened time and time again in Malaysia.
Malaysian football crowds were never violent, they shouted
they jeered, they cheered but they were never violent, violence is not our way
of life and many a foreigner will attest to that. But his government in pursuit
of its own agenda are and have proven to be capable of turning rallies violent
if it suits them, safety and human life seems to take a back seat when their own interests are involved.
Elections are due after the March sitting of Parliament, a
lot of issues need to be ironed out and as Mahathir put it, Najib has done
nothing since he came to office, he has been more preoccupied with his foreign
travel, his shopping trips for Rosmah, his promotion of Rosmah to first lady
and the immense importance he has given her in Malaysian politics that she is
sometimes made to look as the defacto minister of foreign affairs.
Whilst Rosmah basks in her popularity, and her ability to
appear daily in the press, more often than the Deputy PM and even the PM, in fact more
often than any minister and members of Parliament, the Malaysian community and
more particularly the Malays are angry at her arrogance, and her lavishness and
though many may not be familiar with the famed Maria Antoinette, they are with
Imelda Marcos and have drawn a parallel between the two.
In the meantime my good friend Muhydiin is just waiting for
the opportune moment to present itself,, he knows he stands on unstable ground at the moment,
not because Najib will get him - on that score he is rock solid, but the fear the
real fear that Barisan may lose. This has caused his most ardent followers to keep nagging him constantly to go into direct confrontation with Najib, expose him and thereby make himself a
hero amongst the Malays.
One UMNO insider says taking on Najib now, is the DPM’s best bet, the time is
opportune now, Najib is not popular amongst the Malays and a move this time is
a sure win, a win that will make him an UMNO hero and possibly lead to the
return of many Malays from PKR.
If however he fails and tht is a remote possibility he can
cross over and join the PKR, and that way it will mean “heads I win, tails you
lose” to Najib.
Muhydin is a slow mover and in politics the slow movers can’t
survive, he has to come out of his shell and go for that brutal blow to Najib
if he is to succeed in becoming Prime Minisiter. The PKR will be more than
willing to give him that position after a term or two of Anwar at the helm, but
as far as UMNO goes he can kiss his chances goodbye there is no way he will get
to sit on that chair as it goes right now that place is reserved for Mukhriz
Mahahtir, unless Muhydin takes the advice of his followers and goes for on Najib now.
This truly is a case of it's now or never.
This truly is a case of it's now or never.

Najib attempts to put UMNO in order before next GE.
It is sheer desperation as Najib attempts to put UMNO in order, his order that is, before he calls for the next General Elections.
Keep watch, be careful lest you get tempted by the forces of evil led by the UMNO Baru and their lackeys the MCA, the MIC, the almost defunct Gerakan, the PPP, the rest of this unholy alliance that has plundered this nation and cheated their peoples using every trick at their disposal, even to the extent of legalizing illegal immigrants giving them citizenship to deprive Malaysians, and more so Malaysian Bumiputras what were their dues.

For Joseph Pairin Kittingan to sit in the Barisan and demand explanations
is nothing less than hypocrisy of the highest order, for if you partake with
thieves, even though you are not party to this one theft you are a thief by any
reckoning, and as the saying goes, “tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell
you who you are.”
The next General Elections are nigh, they can’t call the
elections till they have either discredited Anwar Ibrahim or till they shut him
out, and this is not happening, because the bungling Attorney General, the
Government and even the judiciary who have time again fumbled in what is seen
by the world as a “great fix.”
Remember that Sodomy 1 came about after Anwar raised the
issues of “nepotism and cronyism,” he shook the very foundations of UMNO and
Mahathir could not believe what was going on.
The Mahathir family would
have had a lot to lose had Anwar
succeeded in eradicating that “nepotism and cronyism,” and he Mahahtir Mohammed would not stand idle and
allow that to happen, not at the cost of his family and the empire he was
building with them, that was the nepotism Anwar was speaking about.
Anwar had to be shut off, he had to be discredited to the
extent that he became totally unacceptable to the Malays and the best way was a
charge of Sodomy, Mahathir is a great disciple of Hitler, and this was taken
out of Hitler’s scheme. Portray Anwar as
a homosexual and a man without morals and he’d be totally unacceptable to the
Muslims and the Malays, all this time Anwar was seen as a champion of Islam and
the Malays, Mahathir had to hit him
where it mattered most, and what better than a sex scandal and more so Sodomy, he almost succeeded.
They thought it had been done, they were convinced it was
done, they felt Anwar was nothing more than a few lines in history at best, and
that belief was reinforced after Badawi’s clean sweep when he went to the electorate the first time – it looked
like Anwar was really in all senses of the word destroyed, he was history and Mahathir had successfully dumped
him.
Then came the last General Elections, the government lost
five states something the BN thought was impossible after May 13 1969, after
declaring Kuala Lumpur a Federal Territory and after depriving the Selangor
state assembly of five sure opposition seats the late Tun Razak was sure that
Selangor would never fall to the opposition again and so did his successors
right up to Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
UMNO was shocked by the stunning blow that befell them, Mahathir
was trembling when Anwar claimed he had the support to form a Government, even
on elections day word was out Badawi and his son in law had lost in their
respective seats, but then it is easy with our EC, there are the military and
postal votes, and how that is allocated is only known to the EC and the PM
in particular.
We were at a wedding dinner in Melaka, I was asked by a
friend what I thought about the elections this time around. My reply was, “ I
have this strong feeling it will be like the 1969 results, we are going to
witness a repeat,” and lo and behold we did.
As early as 7.20 p.m. that night my friend from Penang Ajit
Singh Jessy called me he was so excited, he was almost shouting when he told
me, “in Penang it is a clean sweep, the Gerakan is dead, they have been wiped
out and the DAP has won a stunning victory, Koh Tsu Khoon has been has been
kicked out.” I immediately relayed that message rather reluctantly to my
friends around the dinner table, and all of us could not believe
it. There was no news about it at all, there seemed to be almost a total news
blackout.
At about 9.30 pm another friend whose son is married to a
Malay and whose parents are strong UMNO beneficiaries told us his son had
called him to inform him his mother in law was crying saying that five states
had fallen and that they were going to lose everything.
A little later a friend of mine Jaafar (not his real name)
from Kuala Lumpur calls, he had this to say, “ you can fool all the Malays
sometimes, but you can’t fool all the Malays all the time, and UMNO is being
told that today by us Malays.”
Jaafar still an UMNO member says today that, “what was
supposed to be Bumiputra rights and privileges were taken and given to a select
few in UMNO many of whom are not real bumiputras, and they were made super rich
at the expense of the rakyat.”
Well within UMNO now there is this realisation that the
Chinese are not the bogeymen they are made out to be so often by Mahathir, he
had been doing it since 1969, , but rather those in power in UMNO who have
deprived the Malays and the all Bumiputras what was supposed to be theirs.
Jaafar also says this, “this UMNO will continue to make the Malay ignorant, for
it is in their ignorance that this
plundering, corruption, nepotism, and cronyism can continue, the Malays are
waking up and when they have soaked in the truth these people will be dumped
into the dustbin of history.” Many Malays he says have begun and are learning
now to hate Mahathir, for what he really is, his dark side is being revealed. He
takes us for fools by using Ibrahim Ali to say all those stupid things and
expects us to react, we are matured, were not fools and we’ll not be fooled
anymore,” said Jaafar.
UMNO too realizes that the Chinese card can’t be played too
often, the Malays themselves are realizing this, so they have found another
bogeyman, the Christians.
Now this Government of Najib Tun Razak and his beloved Rosmah
are scheming the ways and means by which they shall rest power at the next GE.
Najib is losing patience with the Anwar trial, his assurance that he would
testify and then backing down at the last moment speaks volumes about his
credibility.
Surely in the interest of justice Anwar must be given every
avenue to clear his name, but in this particular case it seems so
different. The judge contraded his own
decision after he had judged at the trial within the trial that the DNA
evidence obtained from the plastic bottle by one Jude Blacious Pereira was not
admissible.
His decision to overrule his own judgment tends to lend
credence to the suspicion that the AG is pulling the strings in this case and
the judge is just doing his bidding. From the decision he has taken in this
court I am quite convinced that he is incapable of even writing a proper
judgment independently as has been the case in a recent controversy of
plagiarism within our courts involving our judges. What a shame.
Najib Tun Razak spoke of one Malaysia, all posters carry his
face with the number one beside it, to indicate more that he is trying very
hard to reinforce with the people that he is the No. 1 in the country.
His number two not to be outdone immediately contradicts what
he says ,and says, “I am Malay first and Malaysian second, “ he would have been
more correct if he had said ”I am Indonesian first and Malaysian second,” that
would have been difficult to challenge. That one episode indicates Najib’s
inability to control UMNO.
It is reported that Najib and his deputy are to be on
holiday, they are out there to iron out a few things, first is the succession
plan, Muhyudin wants the assurance from Najib that he will vacate the post
after serving a full term after the next General Elections, Najib is saying it
will be two elections and that is a long time, the Muhyuddin camp are unwilling
to accept it.
Najib’s people think he will manage to convince Muhyiddin of
the proposal and he Muhyiddin will accept it, at the same time the Mahathrian
camp sources say that is enough time for Najib to replace Muhyiddin with
Mukhriz.
This is the classic example of “no permanent enemies and
friends in politics”and it is not more glaring in UMNO than it is in any other
party.
Once the truce is put in place Najib will call for the next
general elections, among those to be dropped will be Chua Soi Lek seen as an embarrassment to the party, Najib
has already promised Koh Tsu Khoon a position outside the cabinet with the rank
of a cabinet minister. The wanita UMNO head is reported to be heading the way
of being dropped too, the UMNO youth Chief will not be fielded.
Who Najib will field from UMNO will decide the fate of the
elections, there are Mahathir favourites beginning with his son of course, then
the Muhyuddin camp have their people, Najib is at a loss as to who he should pick,
the UMNO people see him as a weak leader, his failure to settle the Altantuya
issue is seen as a burden to the party, Rosmah is seen as a huge liability, so
whoever he chooses will land up on Muhyuddin’s lap.
Najib’s talks with
Mahathir are not going too well, Mahathir is campaigning for a more powerful
position for his son, Mukhriz must be given home affairs and Trade and
Industry, that will pave the way for him for better opportunities. The only
persons he can rely on are Nazri, Hishamuddin and the man who told the whole
world he burnt all his bridges when he left UMNO for Semangat 46, all seen as not the most intelligent persons in
Malaysian politics.
Muhyiddin has proved himself in the many by elections he was
in charge of, he poses a real threat to Najib, but he is in no hurry to call for Najib to step down yet, the next
General Elections must be held first, the Deputy Prime Minsiters men will
ensure that Najib puts on a worse show than Badawi did, and in the aftermath of
the next GE, Mahathir will lead the voices of UMNO again with a deal struck
with Muhyuddin, Muhyuddin knows exactly how to play his cards with Mahathir, he
has worked with the man before, fallen out of his favour and returned.
Mahathir is playing both sides, he is king at playing the
flipside when the odds are stacked against him and that is what he is doing,
and Najib is stuck with Rosmah right at dead centre.
In politics the dead centre is the worst place to be in, for
history has taught us that, “Hells
hottest spots are reserved for those who in the face of crisis declare
neutrality.”

Invading Malaysia the EC way
Ya, you don't need a foreign army or country to invade this country if the allegations made by PAS Secretary General Mustafa Ali are true, and there will be very few Malaysians including UMNO members who will really doubt what he says, except that the UMNO members and members of component BN parties may be delighted with the plan as it could assure a BN victory, but surely even BN members and everyone from all sides of the divide must sit up and take notice and demand action if they really love this country.
Allegations By PAS Secretary General
The allegations made out by Mustaffa Ali are serious and warrants immediate investigation from the authorities - as this is not some of that flimsy stuff the BN has gone about calling treason - this is really and truly treason in every sense of the word. This if proven will be considered an act of surrendering the country to foreigners by the Barisan Government.
According to the PAS Secretary General a resort in Cherating, Kuantan, is being used as a processing centre as well as to distribute the MyKad.
He said, "the centre is used for two purposes, one to hold and then coach foreigners who are then given Malaysian identity cards, and the other to process locals, who are then transferred to other electoral constituencies."
The first act of giving foreigners myKad and enabling them to vote is an act aimed at depriving Bona Fide citizens their right of electing a government of their choice.
It is an act where we as Malaysian citizens will then lose our rights to these foreigners who in the first place are not citizens, but are given citizenship solely to deprive Malaysian their right of choice and to compromise the integrity of the elections - and that is extremely dangerous.
This is something we have all been observing for a long time now rather indifferently, in Sabah these foreigners now outnumber the locals, and actually have more rights than the locals, this was set up by the issuance of citizenship to Indonesians and Filipinas in Sabah , now the same exercise is being carried out here and soon we'll have Indonesian and Bangaladeshi Bumiputeras and they will have more rights than the ordinary non Bumiputera Malaysian citizens.
Acknowledgement of crooked things happening
"There may be some hanky-panky, but elections in Malaysia are clean, not absolutely clean, but clean.
"I must stress that it is also not as rampant as in other countries where the government gets 90 percent of the vote... here the opposition has even won some states,"
Mahathir Mohammed - Malaysiakini Aug17.
Coming from the Mamak Kutty this is dangerous, he seems to say it, as though it is okay because what he says is, it is not as rampant as in other countries, what kind of reasoning is that from an ex PM?
But then again if we know what happened when Pairin defeated Harris Salleh and the firing that Musa Hitam got from him (Mahathir) for not allowing an illegal takeover by Tun Datuk Mustapha and Haris at that time will explain that it was this man who defiled the sanctity of the ballot box in Malaysia.
Malaysians both Bumiputra and non Bumiputra will face dire consequences if this is true as these "New Bumiputeras" will then eventually have more rights and privileges then even the Bumiputera.
Integrity
A government that has compromised its integrity will succumb to blackmail and loses its right to govern.They will and, can be easily blackmailed by this "New Bumiputeras" to seek more privileges.
Right from the beginning when Najib stepped into the shoes of the PM with Altantuya issue hanging over his head, without clearing his name in the
Altantuya case the integrity of the office of the PM was compromised.
Could Najib have had a motive to kill Altantuya?
Could Razak Baginda and Rosmah both also involved in the purchase of the Scorpene submarines have had a motive?
What motive could the two security personnel have to kill Altantuya Shaaribu?
Not that any of the two "were going to be the next PM of Malaysia," if you know what I mean.
How could the immigration records of Altantuya Sharibu have been erased from our Immigration department?
Who was senior enough to give such orders, Badawi?
But then again why would Badawi want to do it, he had nothing to gain, instead he had all to lose and lose he did, for not investigating this case as he should have.
The people who have been charged and found guilty of the murder were Mohammed Najib's personal bodyguards, they had no motive to kill Altantuya, so what was the motive and who was behind that motive is yet to be determined.
Why was Najib not investigated?
He was not PM then so why did the authorities see it unnecessary to investigate him? Why had they to be afraid to investigate him?
Surely our Attorney General knows that for a murder charge to stick, there must be motive, so I ask again, what was the motive? And who could possibly have a motive?
The recent deportation of the French lawyer in the Scorpene case, the lawyer acting for a Malaysian NGO has cast even more doubts on Najib's claims that he did not know Altantuya, that he never met her and that he had no role in that murder.
Now if the integrity of that office is in question, how can we trust the PM himself in this myKad case, a case of high treason?
The Prime Minister has to be aware that this is not a little issue, for this if true will lead to defilement of the sanctity of the ballot box.
The Prime Minister must be aware of the consequences of such acts, history has taught us that this will result in people taking the law into their own hands in desperation, the streets will open like they never did before in Malaysia, protests and anarchy will be the order of the day, and that is something we do not want, and we should not want and a responsible Prime Minister must act to ensure that this not happen.
Acting to ensure this does not happen is not to arrest people who make the allegations and warn him of the consequences, that is the duty of every citizen, especially when the nation is in deep trouble as is in this case and is actually if true allowing the country to be invaded the EC way.
The Elections commissioner has to take note he has to see PAS secretary-General Mustafa Ali immediately, he must seek him out proactively this is a serious allegation, he must act responsibly, the PM has to seek the assistance of the PAS Secretary General too, it must be given top urgency and whatever investigations to be carried out in this excercise should be done transparently, as the least doubt cast by a government so riddled with corruption, and lack of integrity will only lead to trouble.
The PM has to decide, as the burden of all these allegations lands up finally on his desk. He must decide for the good of the nation, for King and Country, and he can't sit in Putrajaya and sing Karaoke with Rosmah whilst the country burns. Nero did just that only that he did not have Rosmah.
He must learn form history and act accordingly or he will be treated accordingly as many a leader who shirked his responsibilities has found out in the past and are finding out presently.

Mohd. Najib's time is running out.
By Toffee
28 July 2011
He'll sure remember this song, it was from his time and it was an Elvis Number, "It's now or never" and those 4 words hold a lot of meaning to Mohd. Najib now more then it ever did.
Najib Tun Abdul Razak is going in for a big shock, it may even be the cause of Mahathir Mohammed suffering a severe heart attack, I would not want to speculate more on that score, and to avoid that he -Najib, has to be extra careful in the selection of who stands where, in the next General Elections, not in the component parties but particularly in UMNO as deals have been struck to dump him come the next elections.
This should not come as a shock to many Malaysians, as he was not really the rightful heir to the position of Prime Minister when Badawi was moved aside. For the "RAHMAN" equation to have been settled it had to be someone whose name began with the alphabet "N" but what the entire country forgot is that his name began with a "M" his name is Mohd. Najib.
UMNO insiders close to Najib say Mahahtir was aware of this and as such worried that Badawi who had removed Rafidah Aziz would do the same to Najib and Muhyuddin and replace them with Nazri to remain Prime Minsiter for the long term.
Now as some superstitious UMNO people are talking, because of what has happened they say, the next cycle has begun prematurely, and the new equation is "MAHATHIR" he - Najib, has occupied the "M" prematurely and as such the next PM's name will begin with an "A" and that should mean Anwar Ibrahim they believe..
Some UMNO circles believe that Anwar is the ordained one to become Prime Minister, they say if he does not this nation is doomed, this belief is not only confined to those who have left UMNO but with many who remain there, and they hold firm to the fact that Anwar will be back because that is his destiny, they even go as far as saying that is why the entire "RAHMAN" equation fell apart, it is a curse they say and that is a sign for all the Malays.
Within UMNO there is talk about who should be dumped come the next elections, and overtures have been made by existing members from UMNO to cross over. Najib has actually got a Hobson's choice to deal with, he may have to take all the people aligned with Muhyuddin or face the wrath of Muhyuddin's supporters, if he does that then he has to reckon with his own supporters who do not support Muhyuddin and of course he has the Kuli factor to deal with too, poor Najib.
Going it alone he does not have too much choice, he lacks the ground support Muhyuddin has raked in during Najib's tenure as PM.
Now to add insult to injury both in Sarawak and Sabah there are potential candidates who know that the only way to serve their people is to go with the opposition, they now reside in the BN fold and are awaiting their time.
The opposition have learned their lesson from the last elections and the elections when Semangat and PBS had a coalition so, now they have decided to play it cool and quiet, and whilst Najib goes on his rampage of the opposition = the opposition is on a quiet rampage of the BN themselves in a vote us or vote them it does not make a difference campaign in the Eastern corridor.
Doubtful seats like Sungei Siput have been strengthened for the opposition with the detention of their MP under the EO. Neutrals are moving to the opposition as Najib together with his not so intelligent cousin tries all the wrong things in desperation.
Surprising though the UMNO's intelligence unit that used to garner all the information for their bosses and keep them fully appraised of such situations does not seem to be that intelligent anymore, the people are not giving them the news they once used to acquire so easily. Now it seems they are more preoccupied with finding out what Ambiga is after next and all intelligence is lacking in the handling of the situations that arise.
It could also mean that UMNO intelligence reports are being channeled to others in UMNO and not the Najib camp.
If UMNO was shocked by the results of the last elections the next one is going to be a disaster, a complete disaster.
The Rosmah Factor
Picture before plastics
Perhaps the biggest ace up Muhyuddin's sleeve is Rosmah.
This self proclaimed "First Lady," is being touted as a woman who does not know her place. The Malays in general, are disgusted with her behaviour and this could be Najib's biggest mistake, his inability as a Malay husband to keep her in place so they say.
Rosmah is being equated with Maria Antoinette and Imelda Marcos.
Ministers and deputy ministers have to Kow Tow to her every needs, the minister of foreign affairs is made to look like her assistant at times., and whist she goes on making many in UMNO angry to Muhyuddin's delight, his supporters highlight her extravagance, and arrogance to gain more support for Muhyuddin.
Muhyuddin they say has the clout to take on his boss right now, he has enough support to even call and EGM, but Muhyuddin is playing the game the "Malay way," quiet and humble, he will not go in to oust his boss unless his supporters demand that of him, and he is biding his time. When the supporters will make such a call is Muhyuddin's call though, but he can't be seen outwardly to do so, he is a Malay and he unlike many others knows the game pretty well they say. and he will make the call when the time is yellow, ripe I mean.
In desperationthe extent of sending to his cousin the minister of home affairs, the not so intelligent Hishamuddin Hussein Onn, tries to fix things to make Najib look strong and invincible, but instead creates a mess of the situations time and time again.
The handling of the Bersih Rally, the deportation of the French Lawyer who was here to provide advice to an NGO on the Scorpene scandal and attend public dinners to give speeches, which may have revealed if there was a Najib and Rosmah involvement in it, has given his opponents not only in the opposiiton but UMNO as well a lot of reason to get the people to doubt his integrity..
The action of the Trio on the alleged sex scandal involving Anwar Ibrahim the doctored video, which the government went to extraordinary lengths to prove was authentic, except for the fact that the man in the tape was not Anwar Ibrahim has put a huge dent into the credibility of the Prime Minister. Even die hard UMNO supporters were shocked to the extent the Trio went to, and Najib's support for them turned many against him. Neither he, the Trio and even Anwar for that matter realise the amount of support it has taken away from the Malays for Najib and UMNO.
In Kedah the resentment of UMNO grows by the day, it is said that Mukhriz wil like his father in 1969 lose his seat at the next General Elections a move engineered by both the Muhyuddin and the Najib camps, to keep Mahathir and Mukhriz away from aany aspirations to become PM soon, both of them hope to be there for the long haul and Mukhriz is seen as an irritant, the ground work has already begun and Mukhriz looks like he is being prepared for the slaughter.
Najib has to take action and he has to take it fast, time is not on his side, and if he is thinking of retaining his position which he may be able to do with a much thinner majority though, he has call for an elections as soon as possible.
28 July 2011
He'll sure remember this song, it was from his time and it was an Elvis Number, "It's now or never" and those 4 words hold a lot of meaning to Mohd. Najib now more then it ever did.
Najib Tun Abdul Razak is going in for a big shock, it may even be the cause of Mahathir Mohammed suffering a severe heart attack, I would not want to speculate more on that score, and to avoid that he -Najib, has to be extra careful in the selection of who stands where, in the next General Elections, not in the component parties but particularly in UMNO as deals have been struck to dump him come the next elections.
This should not come as a shock to many Malaysians, as he was not really the rightful heir to the position of Prime Minister when Badawi was moved aside. For the "RAHMAN" equation to have been settled it had to be someone whose name began with the alphabet "N" but what the entire country forgot is that his name began with a "M" his name is Mohd. Najib.
UMNO insiders close to Najib say Mahahtir was aware of this and as such worried that Badawi who had removed Rafidah Aziz would do the same to Najib and Muhyuddin and replace them with Nazri to remain Prime Minsiter for the long term.
Now as some superstitious UMNO people are talking, because of what has happened they say, the next cycle has begun prematurely, and the new equation is "MAHATHIR" he - Najib, has occupied the "M" prematurely and as such the next PM's name will begin with an "A" and that should mean Anwar Ibrahim they believe..
Some UMNO circles believe that Anwar is the ordained one to become Prime Minister, they say if he does not this nation is doomed, this belief is not only confined to those who have left UMNO but with many who remain there, and they hold firm to the fact that Anwar will be back because that is his destiny, they even go as far as saying that is why the entire "RAHMAN" equation fell apart, it is a curse they say and that is a sign for all the Malays.
So will Anwar become our next Prime Minister?
Within UMNO there is talk about who should be dumped come the next elections, and overtures have been made by existing members from UMNO to cross over. Najib has actually got a Hobson's choice to deal with, he may have to take all the people aligned with Muhyuddin or face the wrath of Muhyuddin's supporters, if he does that then he has to reckon with his own supporters who do not support Muhyuddin and of course he has the Kuli factor to deal with too, poor Najib.
Going it alone he does not have too much choice, he lacks the ground support Muhyuddin has raked in during Najib's tenure as PM.
Now to add insult to injury both in Sarawak and Sabah there are potential candidates who know that the only way to serve their people is to go with the opposition, they now reside in the BN fold and are awaiting their time.
The opposition have learned their lesson from the last elections and the elections when Semangat and PBS had a coalition so, now they have decided to play it cool and quiet, and whilst Najib goes on his rampage of the opposition = the opposition is on a quiet rampage of the BN themselves in a vote us or vote them it does not make a difference campaign in the Eastern corridor.
Doubtful seats like Sungei Siput have been strengthened for the opposition with the detention of their MP under the EO. Neutrals are moving to the opposition as Najib together with his not so intelligent cousin tries all the wrong things in desperation.
Surprising though the UMNO's intelligence unit that used to garner all the information for their bosses and keep them fully appraised of such situations does not seem to be that intelligent anymore, the people are not giving them the news they once used to acquire so easily. Now it seems they are more preoccupied with finding out what Ambiga is after next and all intelligence is lacking in the handling of the situations that arise.
It could also mean that UMNO intelligence reports are being channeled to others in UMNO and not the Najib camp.
If UMNO was shocked by the results of the last elections the next one is going to be a disaster, a complete disaster.

For Najib the time is ripe for elections and like most fruits Ripe is Yellow.
