Time for Najib to call elections but will he?

It is time for Najib to call for elections. This country has not been governed since the last General Elections, because we do not have a Prime Minister who was really elected for the position, he was just a successor and that is what I guess he wanted because he, more then anyone else suspects that this will be his first and last term.

To call for elections will be like a call for Hara Kiri, the rakyat are sure to throw him and UMNO into the dustbins of history, the time for a Malaysian Renaissance has arrived and the old has just got to give way to the new. The old has become irrelevant, UMNO and its BN members have become irrelevant, the nation is one.

UMNO and its cronies in the BN can't really hang on to power anymore, they know that their story does not hold any good any more.Their credibility has never been so low, the lowest since 1957, no one trusts the Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak  anymore, I doubt even those closest to him trust him anymore, he has failed to live up to expectations, he has failed to give Malaysians reasons to trust him on the contrary he has given us reason not to trust him.                              

There is the Scorpene case and its revelations that have implicated him, if he was indeed clean he should have gone to Paris and attended the hearing to give his side of the story, he has refused to.

The Paris inquiry would  have been the best forum for him to clear his name, it would  have been on neutral ground and no one could say that he fixed the judges there,  that would  have been the perfect  platform for the Prime Minister of Malaysia to clear his name and then go to the people for a mandate and if he is clean the people I am sure will back  him up.

Alas he has decided not to go to Paris, he has decided not to defend himself although it has been reported that he has been implicated, it has been reported that the countries defence secrets were given away for money, that is treason, and all in the process of purchasing these submarines and  the PM of Malaysia who was the the defence minister of the country and the man implicated here has refused to come forward and clear his name.

His absence and refusal to give any evidence in the case can result in the inquiry drawing adverse inferences agaisnt him. I am sure he is aware of  that, his lawyers must have briefed him on that issue, and yet he has chosen to remain silent.

He holds the highest elected office in the land, he must realise that to hold such office his integrity and character must be without blemish.

In the Scorpene case alone amongst all the allegations made out agaisnt him and his wife there is so much going agaisnt the office of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, there is a murder of a woman, a foreigner, a Mongolian to be precise, whom the PM has claimed he does not know, but who was killed by his very own personal guards, and they have been found guilty of that murder.

A very rare case indeed never heard in the history of the commonwealth according to some learned lawyers, because these two bodyguards of Najib have had no motive - an essential ingredient in establishing murder of the first degree.

The foreigner who came to Malaysi with two of her relatives had all traces of her entry into the country wiped out of our immigration records, who on earth could have sanctioned such an operation? The two police men?

There is now the allegation that the PM himself had asked for one billion dollars when he was the defence minister in connection withthe purchase of the submarines from the French vendor, and yet he remains quiet, and has not attempted to clear his name.

Now with so much in just this one case and then with the others of the PD incident, Rosmah issues etc. the element of trust from the rakyat diminsihes by the day.

In desperation he gets everybody to trump up charges agaisnt everyone and anyone in the opposition especially Anwar Ibrahim and now Anwar's deputy in the hope  that the Malays who now have lost complete trust in this government may give him an ear.

So although it is time to call for elections Najib is too afraid to, it will cost him dearly and he is really at a loss.

He seems to think that he is the all so important personality in this country, when the government gies handouts to senior citizens it is claimed that Najib is doing it, he is on  a desperate Public Relations circuit to gain support and sympathy, the people are liking it for the goodies it offers,they take what ever is on offer, but they are not going to vote him and that is foregone conclusion.

If he want's to put it to the test ask him to call for a rally without offering any handouts, see the numbers that will turn up, ask Ambiga to do the same and see the turnout, it will embarrass him, it is not an UMNO issue as he would  have the Malays to believe, it is a national issue and the Malays know it better than anyone else except of course for those in UMNO.

Everyone in Malaysia safe for the few Umnoputeras, MIC Indians, a faction of HINDRAF, The MCA faithful (because there are many MCA unfaithful) and the rest of BN whose numbers are dwindling is aware that this is not the racial issue the BN makes it out to be, it is a serious national issue and we have to change the guard.


The advice of the blog to Naijb is go for it now before your image takes further bashing, then any Ahmad, Hishamuddin or Muhyiddin will be able to replace you in UMNO, but rest assured the government will fall.

So the question again is will he call for elections?

Why shoudl he if this is his last term? he'd want to be in office as long as possible and that is exactly what he is doing.

UMNO power struggle as elections loom.

 Whilst all eyes are on the  next General elections the stage is being set for the next UMNO general assembly, where the signal for  Muhyiddin's exit is being set.

The Mahahtir camp is busy working out the strategy for this shift and the Muhyiddin camp is fully aware of this danger so both sides are preparing for battle - after the battle to wrest the government  of this country.

Win or lose it is rumoured that the BN will seize power, if they seize power after losing they reckon this process will be much easier in an emergency like situation, where Najib will remove Muhyiddin in favour of his not so intelligent cousin Hishamuddin Hussein Onn the  stop gap deputy, and then get Mukhriz to step into his shoes by giving Hishamuddin a position outside the Federal Cabinet.

The recent talk about Mukhriz going for the position of Menteri Besar of Kedah was initiated by the Muhyiddin camp in an effort to force Mukhriz into accepting it to take Kedah out of Pakatan Rakyat's control, and then neutralise Mukhriz' ambitions for Muhyiddin's position, the plan seems to have backfired, because according to our sources Mahahtir Mohammed smelt the rat as soon as he got the news and got UMNO to immediately go into damage control and deny it before it got too big. Remember this item was reported in the government backed print media, both the suggestion and the denial.

There is talk about moving Muhyddin back to Johor as Menteri Besar, and the excuse will be that UMNO and BN is losing ground in this their strongest state.Muhyiddin will be touted as the right person to handle the job and the entire supreme council will be directed to back the plan, many of its members  have already been approached.

The intrigue in UMNO today is greater than the the intrigue in the forbidden city during the last days of Chinese Emperors, it is a sure sign of the decline of UMNO, it's a 'dog eat dog' situation according to an UMNO vetran, "never before in the history of UMNO, not since  Razak went for the Tengku in 1969, nor in 1977 when  Mahahtir went for Hussein Onn in proxy be unleashing his pet Sulaiman  Palestine - the then UMNO information chief has  UMNO gone int such dirty politics," said this UMNO vetran whose son is a very successful Malay and UMNO sponsored businessman.


"This will be played dirtier than when Mahathir cheated in the 1987 UMNO elections and supposedly won the elections, he knew he lost so he got the judiciary into a mess, if the appeal then had gone through unhindered and without government intervention,  it would have  been a totally different Malaysia today, totally different,  maybe not so many foreigners in our country," said this gentleman who now resides in Penang.

"Probably we will not be sitting here for a drink it could  have well been in a hotel in town this may not even have been built, and I would have been able to enjoy my scotch in the open like we used to before," he said in between sips after dinner in a place at the Straits Quay.

On the other front, Muhyiddin has asked his camp to play low key, if anything has to be unleashed against Najib and his "mentor" it has to be sudden and  at a crucial time in UMNO that there will not be an opportunity for the Mahathirian camp to fight back, "it should  be swift and decisive, there will be no turning back, " Muhyiddin was quoted as having said.

Muhyiddin is very uncomfortable with Mahathir , and he has to watch every step he takes, he can't have his plans leaked, he seems to be doing fine on that score, but you can never tell in UMNO as Mahathir is famous for buying out UMNO boys to get what he wants, and there are people in Johor UMNO who are willing to align with Mahathir in this war.

Mahahtir has the funds or at least the sources from which he can squeeze it out, Muhyiddin has his back agaisnt the wall, normally an UMNO deputy will be able to muster funds at will, but now after the Sharizat affair it has been made very difficult for him and in UMNO today as it was during the good old days of Mike Tyson it's money that talks, not Bahasa Melayu, but money talk, in UMNO Bahasa Melayu is for showtime at the assembly, it is  not understood only money is understood loud and clear in that party.

Others may support you only on condition that they'll be given a significant part in government and money machines if he wins, so it is an uphill task for Muhyiddin, but sources say he has a good following and can turn the tables-money politics or not.

The not so intelligent Hishamuddin does not have enough money to spend so lavishly to win any position, he does not have the support of the grass roots  to make himself invulnerable, so he goes the way of Mukhriz, whose father and siblings together with their cronies will outbid anyone on the scene, so Hisham will play the Mahathirian plan although he hates it, like his father he will be used by Mahathir as a stop gap premier and then moved out ungraciously.

Mukhriz has been rather quiet, he is said to be actually learning the ropes, and he is rather sure of himself in the seat of the prime minister in the next five years.

Mahahtir is rushing for Najib to call for the next elections and Najib is in no hurry, if he loses he will be out sooner rather than later, but Mahahtir is sure to secure the government by hook or by crook and Najib knows that, if he wins he will remain for another five year term.

On the other hand Najib is banking on the possibility that  Mahahtir may not live till then and Rosmah may do a number on Mukhriz and get him out so there is no real hurry on the part of Najib.

What is cooking in the Mahahriian camp is so secretive that even Najib who is being directed by it does not know the real details, all he has to do is follow instructions, and for the time being he is not, not all instructions at least, this has given Muhyiddin some breathing room, with a divided Mahathirain camp he is fidning it easier to move as both Najib and Mukhriz look over their shoulders.

Trying to shut Anwar out is a Mahahtirian plan through and through which has the tacit support of all camps in UMNO, with Anwar out they feel they can sweep the next elections and live to fight out their own battles another day, but in politics you can never say, will Muhyiddin look at the other side in desperation.

In politics as we all know, "there are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends."

So whilst they are worried about Anwar they are busy at the same time  planning their own strategies in this huge UMNO power struggle.

If UMNO wins we will have another government fighting shadows and not governing, so please cast your vote wisely, pakatan has proven in all states they have controlled that they are capable of serving the people, so there is no alternative.

 Vote the Pakatan Rakyat.

HRP - An UMNO Trojan Horse Exposed

What I suspected since HINDRAF turned itself into a political party now is proven right, HINDRAF and especially Uthayakumar.

This blog   once penned "Uthaya save the Indians - go for  self immolation," that was in December of 2010,   now we see how right we really were even then, read that and then read this.

If he is real Hindu why has he allowed the Police and the UMNO backed hooligans go and sell beef in front of Ambiga's house without even a word of objection, it is only because he is a Najib stooge, awaiting the big day at the expense of the very people he says he champions.

Yes,  the HINDRAF  was formed so that the likes of Uthaykumar could lobby with UMNO and claim that they had the majority Indian support in the country,  and take over the role that would be vacated by Samy Veloo as at that time his time to vacate was nigh, and replace the MIC in the BN.
 
There was no other way for him to get into the MIC Samy would  have  made minced meat out of him so he had to get the Indians to rally behind him and HINDRAF, and now when you look at it, his plans become so glaringly apparent.

The best way to do it was to promise the Indians something that no one could ever give them and that was a million ringgit each, just imagine 1 million ringgit each what a windfall, many  of them never even held ten thousand ringgit in their hands at any one given time and  that was what they were asked to march to the British  High Commission for.

 Now  and for what did not concern this BN government in any way the Government of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi went bersek and attacked the Indians with water cannons, tear gas and all. That angered so many Malaysians that  in its aftermath - the last elections the government got  a huge bashing,  to a great extent on the sympathy of the way it treated the Indians at the HINDRAF rally, but if the HINDRAF thinks that was the main reason then they underestimate the intelligence of Malaysians, in the same way the BN did, after all they are partners now.

That HINDRAF with its rally and nothing else won so much sympathy of the Malaysians which cannot be denied, but if they are expecting this same sympathy from the government they are in for a bashing this time from the rakyat.

It is very clear now that HINDRAF is out there to reinstate UMNO as the kingpin in the state assembly in Selangor through its political vehicle the Hindu Rights Party (HRP) , their decision to stand in Selangor is a clear indication that all they want to do is to deliver Selangor to UMNO and then Uthaykumar will get what he wants, he will become a minister and the next Samy Veloo a minister through the back door, via the senate although it is very certain that the HRP will not win a single seat at the elections and Uthaya himself knows that and has secretly acknowledged it.

The only thing the Indians in this country have to realise is that these self seeking  individuals  who claim to champion their cause actually use these Indians (the Tamillians in particular)  for their very own purposes and Uthaykumar is no exception, he is almost going to pull out a masterstroke and the Indians are going to receive another MIC like party in the government of the BN who will then dance according to the tune of the UMNO at the expense of ignorant Indian support.

HINDRAF may not come outright and join the BN that will be very difficult, but they will be what will be known as a BN friendly party just like the independents in the  Perak state assembly today.

Never in the history of Malaysia have the Indians had better representation in government than they have today and yet when they have achieved it their very own people the HRP and the HINDRAF the movements that claim to champion their cause  come to destroy it, claiming that the government of the State has done nothing for them, and they may be right.

It is only one term, the government cannot be looking at only one community, it has to look at the whole big picture,  and that is what is important. To say that the government has not provided enough land for Hindu temples but instead took it and gave it to the Chinese is racial and typical of BN politics, HINDRAF is playing the racial card to confuse the issue just like the MCA and MIC have done for ages.

Indians will have to fight back, there is no future in being Indian first, it will not offer their children anything in the future, they have to think Malaysian first.

Pakatan has ruled Selangor for only one term, they have not desecrated or destroyed a single temple, on the other hand the Barisan and especially UMNO folk have,  they have desecrated so many Hindu temples all over the country. Ask DP Vijandrean what the Attorney General of the time in the Kerling case  accused him of when he defended a few Indians, DP was then an upcoming MIC star.

Today the Indians who are on the brink of a new era have to make a choice, go the Indian  way and like Ostriches believe that it is only them with problems in the country or rise up and discard racist parties and come together under a Malaysian banner and as Malaysians stand up and fight this evil regime, and once and for all claim this, our nation back from cheats and self seeking individuals.

If the Indians make the choice to go the HINDRAF way there is only one result they can hope to achieve, continue to be the street sweepers, the office cleaners, the one ton truck lorry drivers and remain ignorant - the specialisation of the BN.

On the other hand they can join the mainstream Malaysians defeat this government  as one people  and prosper.

Ambiga and Irene - A case of selective bullying of Indians

The  UMNO led government is now selectively targeting Indians to demonstrate their powers and try and create a significant divide in an effort to force Malay unity, it has always been the cornerstone of UMNO to  portray a race as the bogeyman and then try and get the rest to unite under their radical racialist  banner so that they can win elections, rule the nation and rob the rakyat.

The selection of Ambiga and Irene are significant cases, why use the sedition act against Irene and not against Ibrahim Ali?

The reason is so obvious Irene does not serve their purpose, Irene makes things rather difficult for them, in fact extremely difficult, it is hard to face the truth and when faced by the truth, this UMNO led politicians just can't accept it.

How can they anyway? When UMNO  thrives on cheating, cheats are always against the truth so Irene is seen as sabotaging their cheating activities and that is what it is all about with almost everyone who points out their wrongdoings even people in their own camp and Ong Tee Keat is a classic example.

On the other hand Ibrahim Ali is serves their purpose he does just what they want, he is the main driver of the  so called, "Ketuanan Melayu" which is actually, "Ketuanan Umnoputra."

With Ambiga it is because she is an Indian as well, if they  take on the Malays leaders and supporters or berish they will face the wrath of all the Malays, and they are already threatened by loss of Malay support, the pen they say is mightier than the sword, so to take on Pa Samad will be political suicide, he is respected by aqll quarters of Malays his literary works are respected by the whole cross section of Malaysians, he is an icon of pride to the Malays, and none of the present day living UMNO leaders can match him in that depratment.

Having said that I am not saying they should take on  the Malay leaders of Bersih, they have no case  against these people, again here it is a case of feeling terribly uncomfortable with the  exposition of  the truth, so to make an example to stifle any further revelations from any party  they pick on Ambiga  and Irene both Indians, because they know that neither the MIC or the HINDRAF will dare raise the issue, these tow parties are literally fed by UMNO and let me now go into the details.

MIC of course as we all have known for a very long time works under the direction of UMNO, it has no voice, no voice at all, if it seems to have a voice it is UMNO's voice echoed by Indian men who are supposedly Indian leaders clad in White Vaishtees who claim to represent the Indians.

In the case of HINDRAF we have to dig a little further to understand the issue.

Everyone knew that Samy's days were coming to an end, every Indian also knew that whoever succeeds Samy would come from the MIC aqnd he would literally be nominated and elected by Samy, that was the extent of Samy Veloo's control on MIC.

Anyone else hoping to take control of the Indians via MIC had sub zero chances, and that is no exaggeration
so the best way to do it was to demonstrate to the government that they indeed had the support if the Indians in the country, and that is what set the HINDRAF machinery into action.

In the pipe dream was a plan to push Samy and his supporter aside and fill that vacuum with  their ranks.
\
HINDRAF was responsible in a very big way for the poor showing by the BN at the last elections, it exposed Badawi, it made many people believe  that the Indians were the only marginalised community in this country without even realizing that the real natives who are termed "Bumiputra" were more marginalised then the Indians.

Look at the natives of East Malaysia, look at the Senoi, the Orang Laut and the rest they are significantly marginalized and when you compare them with the Indians no one can really and honestly claim that the Indians are marginalised in this country, that there are segments of Indians who are marginalised is true but this marginalisation is due to the Indians themselves and their representation in the Barisan Nasional.

Look at rural Malays in Kelantan, Kedah and many other states who choose to differ with this government and you'll see the Malay marginalised as well.

In ratio of population if one were to consider professionals in Malaysian societym  the Indians are equal if not better off than all the the other races, look at the doctors, engineers, lawyers, CEO's of Companies Indians stand out.

There are pressing needs in this community that no can cares a damn about, Tamil schools being the most glaring of all, it is  the cradle of Indian marginalisation,  and who is it that wants it there?

I have dealt enough with this topic on this blog, I'll not go into the details, except to ask if HINDRAF or MIC has the ability to turn at least fifty percent of the Tamil Schools into independent schools going up to upper secondary level like the Chinese schools.

Are there sufficient Tamils in this country willing to walk the talk?

That is not the solution anyway, it will only breed division amongst the races closing the schools down will be the best option, concentrating on teaching Tamil in regular schools will be the best option for the Tamils who feel so much about the language.

The Tamils in this country must realise that the sooner they become more Malaysian and less Tamil the better it will be for them and the nation as a whole.

Najib has read the HINDRAF plan,he very well coudl have been behindthe plan all this while, now he  is wooing HINDRAF, as soon as its members applied to register a political party it was registered, the 'Makal Sakthy Party," dubbed by it's leadership as the, "only Indian based multiracial party," it was apporved.

Indian based "multiracial party?

Today with that registration of  the Makal Sakthy party, parliamentary seats are the objective of the party.

HINDRAF's  big plan to get the British to compensate the children of Indian indentured labourers one million ringgit per head as long been cast aside, that was the magic that brought the Indians to HINDRAF, it has served it's purpose, the leadership has won the confidence of that sector of Indians and now they are using it for the political mileage - using that support to blackmail Pakatan into political suicide by demanding Parliamentary seats.

To get into favour of UMNO and the BN they are now being used by Najib as the spoiler for the Pakaktan vote, this excercise is clearly a BN strategy, as the HINDRA leadership calls on Anwar to meet  the Indians to demand seats.

Their demand of seats not one or two but much more that 10 from Anwar is a clear indication of their intent- sabotage.

How do they expect to win on the ticket of an "Indian" party? There is not one single constituency in the entire country with an Indian majority and at the last elections the number of Indians who secured both Parliamentary and state seats in Parliament set a record since Independence, not because they were Indians but because they were Malaysians, they stood on as members of multiracial parties.

Whilst the Pakatan is talking about a multiracial platform the HINDRAF pretending to align itself with the Pakatan is coming in on  a racial platform, they should not be welcome.

Now leaving all that aside these champions of Indian marginalization have been very quiet in the wake of what has happened to Ambiga, and the selling of Beef burgers at her doorstep, the Police tacitly supported this act of intimidation so too did the Prime Minsiter  by his very silence.

The Kuala Lumpur CID chief's statement that Irene Fernandez may be probed under the  Sedition Act, when everything else said by the likes of Ibrahim Ali, and even others in government that could have easily fallen under this category when unnoticed proves this selective intimidation and bullying of Indians by the Police and the government.

There is selective  Indian bashing practiced by UMNO and that is no joke and almost every Indian in politics today knows that, but what happened to the the two parties who are supposed to represent the Indians.

Would UMNO have been quiet if  Indian's went in front of Najib's house and started preparing hamburgers? Incidentally "ham" is pork?
