Of Malaysia's Najib's Sounds of Silence...

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

- Simon & Garfunkel



Silence is Golden Is it true? When 1MPM6 decided to go on silent mode, Hong Kong opens probe in Credit Suisse branch. That comes days after WSJ revealed 1MDB USD 1.4B payment to IPIC is not in the latter's consolidated account. Pandikar was quick to dismiss the leak comes from Parliamentary staff.

Putrajaya is expressly quick in denying Najib's possible account in Credit Suisse. Further, it blames politically motivated report.

If the former was money related, what about social relationship? Al Jazeera's report regarding Altantunya's relationship. If there is no truth, why the need to deport Al Jazeera's journalist who was doing her job for the documentary?

Don't forget about Malaysia's own submarine issue when SUARAM brought up to the French authorities.

Be it today, a few days ago, few years ago, it seems that the baggage is getting heavier by the day. Like it or not, world news wil be swooping into Malaysia to cover 1MPM6. Innocent or guilty? It doesn't matter if he the sitting PM or not, Najib has to go all out to prove his innocense especially when the world is watching Malaysia's every steps.

Consider these :-

1. Hong Kong police is investigating the allegation that RM 2.6B was in Najib's personal account in Hong Kong;
2. Bank deposit of more that USD 250M made in Credit Suisse branch there;
3. Najib was a signatory of companies owned by J Low's family;
4. Switzeland and Singapore has separately and independently opened investigation on 1MDB where Najis is one of it's adviser;
5. Pandikar denied that Parliamentary staff leaked PAC's information on 1MDB;
6. RM 146M service charge to Perimekar for purchase of scorpene submarines with web of illicit transactions involving Malaysian companies setup in Hong Kong;
7. Who is involved in Altantunya's murder?

Najib is Malaysia's Prime Minister. The expectation is - not only must he be cleaned (innocent) but he must also be seen clean (innocent). Following Tun Abdullah's elegant silent is no longer acceptable. In fact, there is no more room of 6 months for Najib to clear up 1MDB's mess.

Najib has to face the world and not let his officers to do the denials. Maybe Najib do not know Altantunya. Maybe he knows her as Aminah. Najib has no more option but to answer and squash all doubts about him.

Forget about the red shirts. That is Zahid Hamidi's territory. Najib should not allow his emotions to take charge. Greed is not an option. The longer he waits, the less options available for his "retirement scheme".

Me? strumming my guitar , whispering...

Of Malaysia's next month, 2 months, 6 month's time and ...

The six months I have asked for is to help 1MDB in regards to slashing its debt and solving a few problems on the rationalisation process

- Najib




First, it was 2 months. That's what 1MPM6 ask for to solve controversies surrounding 1MDB issue. He promised UMNO leaders and pro-establishment NGO 2 months to solce the controversies and he said that back in June 2015. To be fair to him, Najib says 2 months the earliest and pledged a time frame of between 2 to 6 months.

Now, 3 months later, 1MPM6 Najib is asking 6 months to solve 1MDB's financial problems.

Before we go any further, the UMNO supreme council meeting yesterday is a non-event. No blast, no dynamite statements. But...wait... what about the body language between the two? Any hints?

You can see a better picture here

Do you notice the following :-

1. Shahrizat's face - she is not happy with the handshake and she is looking Muhyiddein's way;
2. Hishamudein Hussein - he looks worried;
3. Najib - Forced smile;
4. Muhyiddein - Cynical;
5. On the handshake itself, it looks staged whereby there is no warmth between the two. Both parties is just touching the tip of the other party's hand.

Maybe time to see the expert and hear what they have to say on the body language.

Enough of body language, let's look at what the SUPREME council meeting and the outcome :-

1. Muhyiddein and Shafie Afdal not sacked nor suspended from UMNO;
2. Discussed on the public fallout on RM Billion dollar donation;
3. Najib ask for 6 months to solve 1MDB financial problems to slashing its debts and solving few problems on rationalisation plans;

Now, let's speculate on the points above :-

1. What is the reason for non-action against Muhyiddein and Shafie afdal? If Najib can remove Muhyiddein from DPM post, then why is he hesistant to do the same and strip Muhyiddein/Shafie Afdal from their respective political post?;
2. Is Najib systematically isolated and he has no choice but to seek an uneasy truce with 2 of his fiercest internal critics?;
3. It's all system haywire when the execution failed to materialise and it's back to the drawing boards for Najib and Co;
4. A deal has been brokered between the 2 parties with a timeframe of 6 months. Notwithstanding the timeframe, anything can happen at critical milestones of October Parliamentary sitting and UMNO GM in December;

Some say the third force is getting the upperhand. That's what they say but the scene outide PWTC is a minor tell tale sign of what's coming up next.



What is bothering Najib on his home turf? What makes him choose the rear entrance?

My newfound friend was upset when 1MPM6 decided to skip delivering keynote address during the recently concluded ICAC. In fact, this friend said that 1MPM6 should bundled out the outspoken speaker who ticked Najib on the "donation" issue. Now, the one who claimed to have Bugis warrior blood in him opts to enter "jalan belakang" into his own party HQ where he is President? This is not the way of a warrior!!!

By the way, first it was 2 months, now 6 months. Is that the time for Malaysians to forget? Melayu mudah lupa, Cina takkan lupa, Maybe India lupa lupa... Whilst Malaysia is in all sorts of challenges, from politics, sports, economy and such, Singapore will be going to the polls tomorrow. Will S'ore opposition takes a leaf of PR's success in 2013? If that happens, I like to see DAP's reaction and comments. DAP talked about equality nd all inclusive Malaysian Malaysia, what have they got to say to Singapore's non inclusiveness? One interesting subject which will be touched on in coming months...

Someone, somewhere used to say "Kalau takut pada ribut, jangan berumah ditepi laut" or something along that line. Me? I love the challenges and would have wade across the boisterous UMNO crowd yesterday in PWTC because the sounds will remind me of the magic words...

Of Malaysia's own "I pay, you no receive" excuse, state of football and...

"Only the Prime Minister can call emergency Parliament sitting" - Pandikar



Last week when fulfilling a wedding reception, a friend whispered about the hush-hush mass VSS for Malaysia's leading bank's employees. I countered that is not possible as it is Malaysia's numero uno bank and the foundation is bed-rock solid. He said "No, words are up to 600 branches will be closed/merged by the end of this year". He reasoned that the bank is forced to resort to laying off its employees because of man-made economic mishap. I leave it at that until Malaysia Chronicle publish Side outside the box article on layoffs.

Regardless of Syed's political stand, the posting begs these following questions :-

1. Will we see Malaysia's premier bank closing 600 of its branches by year end?;
2. What happen to 400 employees of CIMB who opted for voluntary redundacy? Are they employed or are they jobless now?;
3. How many RHB employees will opt for Voluntary Exit Scheme offer by 23rd September 2015?;
4. On the sidelines, how many MAS employess took the VSS and how many were re-offered jobs in the company?;

Will the banks be more effective with these scale down actions? What will happen to those who opts for Voluntary exits and what will happen to their dependents? Is this part of the chain reaction from Malaysia's "all-coverage" GST? What is the government doing to re-train them and what are the steps taken to place them in areas of their expertise. Maybe Najib can start his own bank from the Arab donation. Even without the donation money, Najib can always bank on his inheritance fund to branch out into banking, right?

Next stop - the red shirts. If last night's "Harimau Malaya" supporters is used as a yardstick, it is best for PDRM to placed all probable red shirt organiser and promoters under the newly implemented POTA (Prevention of Terrorism Act). Why? Even with PDRM increasing their resources to control the crowd, last night's football match against Saudi Arabia were tainted with firecrackers and flares. That happen in a controlled confine space. I dread of what might happen if Red shirts are allowed to assemble in open spaces within the city buildings.

Stop whining about if BERSIH 4.0 can, then red shirts can argument. For one thing, BERSIH 4.0 was not tainted with flares and firecrackers although the noise levels raised a few decibels due to vuvuzelas. Back to the football fans, what are they trying to prove? Do they not realise that whatever they did last night may have a negative impact on our pilgrims currently in the twin holy cities of Mekah and Madinah? I am quite sure the perpetrators to last night's events are mostly those who profess Islam as their religion. These are the same people who did not think the after-effects to their Muslim brothers and countrymen currently in Saudi Arabia.

What now for Malaysia's football scene? :-

1. The outcome of the match will stay at 2 - 1 in favour of saudi Arabia;
2. FIFA may slap fines to FA malaysia on the fans behaviour and poor security;
3. FIFA may banned Malaysia from FIFA-sanctioned matches/tournaments;
4. FIFA may banned Malaysia from hosting matches and Malaysia matches will be on neutral ground until further notice;

Who lost? Malaysia !!!

What is my wish list? :-

1. FA Malaysia president to immediately take full responsibility and resign with immediate effect. No need to wait whether Malaysia can pass the World cup 2018 Asian qualifier or not;
2. FA Malaysia council members to offer resignation with immediate effect and an interim body under the purview of Sports Ministry take over the day to day running until further notice;
3. PDRM to come down hard on the perpetrators, put them as priority 2 behind the 1MDB probe. Splash the faces of the perpetrators for all to see and help PDRM in tracing them;
4. Government to send a high level envoy to Saudi Arabia to personnally apologise for the incident on behalf of Malaysia;

Am I asking too much?

Pandikar Amin Mulia, Dewan Rakyat speaker, reiterated that only the Prime Minister aka Najib can call for emergency parliament sitting. Regardless of what Pandikar said, there is room for provision of standing oredrs for Vote of no confidence against the Prime Minister. Pandikar was quoted

There are no such provisions. Can I in the name of democracy, western democracy, make such standing orders? It looks stupid,

Are we in the state of self denial? Is it OK for us to utter "Bangang, Bangsat, Se-ekor, Bodoh, haramjadah" freely and publicly? Maybe, our leaders are getting out of synch with reality.



When I was about to say that all seems rebounding, Malaysiakini dropped a bombshell "WSJ: IPIC didn't get US$1.4b collateral from 1MDB". What happened?

What gathered from Malaysiakini are the following :-

1. UAE's International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) did not receive the US$1.4 billion collateral payment from 1MDB that was to be for paying off billions in the troubled state fund's debts;
2. IPIC's consolidated financial statements had no receipt of the payment;
3. Auditor-general's draft report on 1MDB show that the USD 1.4 B payment was made to one of IPIC's subsidiaries, Aabar Investments PJS;
4. IPIC and Aabar never received the money;
5. New IPIC management team is now investigating the actions and relationship between their previous managers and 1MDB;

The USD B question is - where does the USD 1.4B gone? If IPIC consolidated financial statement had no receipt of the payment, then which account is true? 1MDB (as per Auditor General draft report) or IPIC (surely by one of the reputable auditing company)? Lost in transaction? Impossible, when this involves USD 1.4B.

This report is going to haunt 1MDB's Chairman of Board of Advisor/Trustee who is none other than 1MPM6 Najib. Or will he pass the blame to others including Arul Kanda? If that is the case, pity Arul for taking the blame of his predecessors? Worse, Najib can come out with new degratory word - what next after Bangang, bangsat, haramjadah, se-ekor? Maybe his other half will coined a new word for his use. While the advisers are lock in their think tank strong room, by the time this posting is out, UMNO supreme council meeting should be over and done with.

Whether Muhyiddein and others will be sacked or not, UMNO is now a divided party. If cash is king, then tonight an "emperor" may be in the making. To get Muhyiddein to toe the party line and give up his deputyship in UMNO will be IPICly costly. Coupled with the missing link between payment made and payment received, as per IPIC and 1MDB, then Muhyiddein need to be triply sure the money is in the bank. That, if Muhyiddein agrees to be "bought over". What if he stays defiant? What can Najib do? Put the full weight of Ahmad Zahid's PDRM on Muhyiddein and do him good? Very unlikely.

Will Muhyiddein gives the 2 months grace period for Najib to sort things out, politically and economically? Will Pandikar succumb to Bugis silat and block whatever means necessary for any "Vote of no confidence"? The bells are ringing... Will it be the last call for Najib?

Najib is having sleepless and listless night tonight. Me? Blissfully happy acrobating on my bed... singing

Of Malaysia's Pandikar, Rahman, Democrazy and...

There is no such thing - Pandikar



If I had known it better, I think I heard someone yelling "Get a life". Things do looks bleaker, isn't it?

Our currency is still falling and now we have a new stand-up comedy by the name of Najib. Lately, he coined the term "democrazy" and refers it to BERSIH 4.0. Reasons? Najib believes that :-

1. BERSIH 4.0 is aimed at topling the government;
2. The current economic climate was caused by external factors and not by his leadership;
3. The rally had shamed the country as thousands had gathered to criticise him over his alleged scandals and the woes of the country;
4. His government was not arrogant and was receptive of criticism and advice;

That was what he said during last night's speech in Batu constituency. Maybe Najib is too busy counting donations that he failed to read BERSIH 4.0 demands. Amongst others, BERSIH 4.0 main bjectives were :-

1. Free and Fair Elections (Pilihan Raya yang Bebas dan Adil);
2. A Transparent Government (Kerajaan yang Telus);
3. The Right to Demonstrate (Hak Berdemonstrasi);
4. Strengthening the Parliamentary Democracy System (Memperkukuh Sistem Demokrasi Berparlimen);
5. Saving the Economy of Malaysia (Menyelamatkan Ekonomi Malaysia);
6. Resignation of Prime Minister, Najib Razak (Perletakan Jawatan Perdana Menteri oleh Najib Razak);

Now, which part Najib do not understands? Is there any portion of the demands that mentions toppling he government of the day? The nearest is demanding for Najib's resignation. Demanding Najib's resignation does not means toppling the government. The same when previous PMs' resigned, it does not topple the (BN) government as in the case of Tun Hussein Onn, Tun Mahathir and Tun Abdullah Badawi. If Najib makes a mistake of accepting unaccounted donation and he could not explain the money trail, then it is an honourable thing for him to resign. Najib is carrying too much baggage and coupled with RM, her baggage is too excessive - overloading and in one way or another placing us close to a "pariah" state.

What BERSIH 4.0 wants is a just, better and more transperancy when it come to government. Is it too much to ask for?

At the time of writing this blog, haze seems to be ckearing up a little due to the thunderstorm in KL and Klang. Hopefully it is a sign of more better things to come. Tun M will be returning tomorrow from his middle east/UK trip. Will Khalid IGP instruct his men to direct Tun M direct to Bukit Aman? When will Tun M be called for hs statement to be recorded in Bukit Aman?

Yesterday was a whimper when nothing exciting came out of UMNO's political bureau meeting. The next big day is tomorrow when the UMNO supme council meeting will be held. Amid rumours od Muhyiddein's sacking/suspension from party post, KJ issue a statement of his own. In short, he is confident that no one will be sacked tomorrow. Poor KJ, he has to say that as his UMNO youth EXCO is behind his back with their stand and KJ needs to speak the voice of UMNO youth.

Poor Rahman Dahlan. First he started the issue when he tweeted on the "miserable" state of BERSIH office only to be sounded off that the picture posted was not BERSIH's bit its neighbour. He was so cocky to send the RM 65K cleaning bill to BERSIH but instead his officers went to the wrong address, prompting BERSIH office bearers to put up big signage for easy reference on the actual location of BERSIH office. Now Rahman Dahlan took it personally and termed it as "childish jokes".

In this age of technology and smart phones, don't tell me that Rahman's officers do not have apps like maps or waze to find the correct address. Not only tat, being officers from the Ministry of Urban wellbeing, Housing and Local Government, they should have he most up to date information on the location of BERSIH 4.0 address. If this simple thing also Rahman cannnot do, then how to continually defend Najib?

Pandikar says there is no such thing as vote of no confidence. Well, Pandikar, tll us what are the available options for the people of Malaysia? Do we have to live for another 3 years under a person who cannot differentiate between a donation and corruption? Do we have to endure the possibility of our currency sliding down? Do we have to "buy" the story that Najib is going to sue Wall Street journal which up to now Najib and his lawyers failed to do that in Washington or Hng Kong? Do we still need to "hear" about Najib's inner circles partying with Paris Hilton with possibly our national coffers?

Tell me. Tell me that this is not true and what Malaysians are facing are just nightmares. Tomorrow when we wake up, the nightmares will be gone...poof. If that is true, then,

Of Malaysia's 0909, 0916 and...

Malaysians go all out to interpret numbers. Whatever numbers they can get their hands on, they will "pau" it and rush to 4D outlets, trying their luck to the fullest. Even at USd 1 = RM 4.303, it is better that nothing...


If only numbers can talk! Apart from the infamous 911, Malaysians are gazing their self-made crystal balls to see what lies ahead especially on 9th September (0909). At least, FAM President will be resigning after UAE thrashing. Whatever the scoreline tomorrow against Saudi Arabia is all academic. Let's hope there will be no turnback to FAM President regardless of tomorrow's result.

What comes before 0909? Today's UMNO political bureau's meeting is sparkless. Maybe the fuse were dampened or most probably everybody is loading their dynamite on 0909. Tonight, 1MPM6 sharpened his rhetorc skills in Batu, Kuala Lumpur. On last count yesterday, banners "Kami sayang Perdana Menteri kami" is all over the place. Let's say 20,000 turn up tonight, does that means the balance of Malaysia's 23M population is no longer with him? Afterall, that's the argument he presented during the recent BERSIH 4.0 rally.

Talking about 0909, what are the possible scenarios :-

1. Najib had an audience with DYMM in the morning and tenders his resignation as PM, followed by an announcement after the weekly cabinet meeting. UMNO supreme council endorsed Najib's decision in the evening and the date for Najib's last day will be set on 30th september 2015, well after Malaysian day celebration and Aidil Adha;

2. Najib take a hard stand, push for Muhyiddein's ouster together with the rest. Chances are "Menang jadi arang, kalah jadi abu". If he choose this path, he will be another Mugabe...;

3. Najib takes a hard stand amd the supreme council revolts. He may be forced to tender his resignation as UMNO President and Muhyiddein seeks audience with DYMM to take over the PMship on 0910. By 0911 (Friday), Najib may be facing with an arrest warrant.;

4. Muhyiddein take a reconcilatory approach and surrenders his Deputyship. Najib appoints Zahid as caretaker deputy until UMNO GA next year. Muhyiddein and the rest resigned from all party post;

5. Najib wins, Muhyiddein sacked and formed alliance with opposition. Najib will face sleepless nighs and his fate will be decided by Pandikar on the o confidence motion. Can Najib last another 1 month for Pandikar's lifeline? Can najib afford to travel overseas when at any time, MPs' from both sides can seek audience with DYMM demanding his ouster?;

6. Nothing happens on 0909. Jibby lets it be a non-issue and continue antogonising Muhyiddein. At the same time, he continue touring UMNO divisions for full support. At the same time, place all against him on sedition charge and tires them with court appearance;

7. Last minute cancellation. Back to square one for those involved.

Hopefully 0909 will be a turning point where Malaysia will address its internal "trust deficit" issue and at the same time responds to external criticism pointed out by Rafidah Aziz. They say that Najib is a big hearted person, by nature. It is time for him to make the ultimate sacrifice and let go his premiership. Let others take their turn to run the country and hopefully turn the country around. We have been hit by continuous downward spiral. It will be pointless for big political funds if the state of the nation is at risk and exposed to economic disaster.

Forget about 0916. I see 0916 counter rally is unnecessary, not when their focal meeting point is in Bukit Bintang. Rightly so, the police have state their stand. Let's see if the organisers abide to the police decision, failing which they are no better than those they despise.

This posting will be incomplete if the new kid on the block is not mentioned. PAN mentioned about consensus with their allies PKR and DAP. My questions :-

1. What consensus is Mat Sabu referring to? If consensus is by party, I see PAN as a DAP proxy who works on twisting PKR to toe the line;
2. If consensus is about denying the aspiration of practising Hudud in Kelantan, then Mat Sabu is denying Kelantan's legislation their wishes to implement Hudud;
3. If consensus is about asking Najib to resign, Mat Sabu has cross the path when he talked about Tun M;
4. If consensus is about a new and better Malaysia, then Mat Sabu himself has failed to be a team player when he opts to sever ties with his former party;
5. If consensus is about a united opposition, Mat Sabu has failed to listen what Azmin says;

PAN may pride itself of thawing support from PAS... but then again PAN is becoming parasitic and more and more of DAP lackey. A party caught with its own self glamour, financed by DAP. You may not like what I write.. I don't care because I am writing from my heart ad those are my thoughts.

Mungkinkah bulan gerhana?

PAS adalah bulan purnama. Apakah kegerhanaan akan menimpa dengan tertubuhnya PAN?Setiap kali musim bah, setiapkali jualah pantai berubah. Itu lumrah alam... Bagaimana pula dengan dunia politik?

SEcara peribadinya, saya melihat klimaks politik Islam agak kurang terurus dengan perginya TGNA Februari lalu. Kalau semasa hayat beliau, sudah timbul aliran pemikiran baru yang mula mencabar kepimpinan ulama', pemergian TGNA memberi laluan untuk golongan yang dilabel "progresif" untuk terang-terangan mencari ruang-ruang untuk menempelak kepimpinan ulamak. Paling serius ialah apabila Gerakan ini mula berdiri dibawah "Gerakan Harapan Baru" dan mula mempersoal tentang "timing" Hudud.

Satria GHB yang dikemudi oleh Mat Sabu tlah dengan jayanya mengenepikan PASMA dari kelompok kepimpinan mereka. GHB yang saya pasti didalangi oleh parti-parti politik dibawah Pakatan Rakyat telah memasukkan jarum-jarum untuk mempersoalkan segalan tindak tanduk PAS. Bukan itu saja, golongan ini yang dahulunya diketengahkan oleh PAS secara terang-terangan mempersoalkan ketokohan kempimpinan ulamak selain dari mengijak-ijak Majlis syura' PAS. Tindakan mereka menjadi lebih berani apabila DAP terus-menerus menyerang PAS.

Dalam pilihanraya parti yang lalu, pasukan GHB telah tersungkur dimana hampair kesemua kepimpinan GHB kalah dalam perebutan parti. Kekalahan ini telah menyalakan lagi api untuk GHB membentuk parti politik baru. Permohonan mereka telah ditolak oleh ROS. Akhirnya, pada 31 hb Ogos, Mat Sabu telah mengumumkan GHB mengambil alih parti pekerja (Workers party) dan rebranding kepada PAN (Parti Amanah Negara). Maka berdoyong-doynglah penyokong GHB mengisytihar keluar dari PAS. Mereka termasuk beberapa ahli parlimen dan wakil rakyat.

Antara nama-nama mereka adalah Mat Sabu, Ahmad Awang, Khalid Samad, Zulkefly, Mariah, Hatta Ramli. Namun, dalam kekalutan mereka bergodong-godong menyertai PAN, ada juga satu dua kerat dari saf pendokong GHB yang masih setia bersama PAS. Antaranya ialah Mahfuz Omar. Untuk itu, saya menghormati pendirian Mahfuz yang setakat ini masih setia bersama perjuangan PAS.

Begitu juga dengan Husam Musa. SEhingga kini, masih belum dengar riak beliau akan menyertai PAN walaupun dikatakan Mat Sabu sanggup memberi laluan kepada Husam Musa.

Apa reaksi saya? Saya melihat kelompok GHB yang kini bernaung dibawah PAN sebagai kelompok yang gelojoh. Kegelojohan mereka makin terserlah apabila sanggup mengambilalih kepompong Workers party untuk dijadikan vehicle perjuangan mereka. Tahukah mereka bahwa bukan senang untuk menukar perlembagaan parti untuk mencerminkan perjuangan? A picture can paints a thousand words tapi tak mungkin perlembagaan parti dapat menterjemahkan segala intipati perjuangan? Selain daripada itu, dalam perasaan syiok sendiri, Hanipa Maidin telah menjadi jurucakap sukarela DAP untuk menolak PAS dalam gugusan Pakatan Rakyat 2.0. Mugkin kerana perasaan syiok sendiri inilah, Hanipa Maidin merasakan pakatan pembangkang tidak lagi perlu kehadiran PAS dalam barisan itu. Apa yang disuarakan oleh Hanipa adalah bertentangan dengan kenyataan Anwar Ibrahim tempoh hari.

Sebenarnya, siapa yang "Boss" sekarang? Nampaknya LGE mla mengorak langkah bersama Mat Sabu utk mengenepikan Anwar/Wan Azizah...

PAS masih tidak memberi respons pada kenyataan Hanipa kerana PAS telah menyatakan pendirian mereka satu ketika dulu. Apa alternatif yang ada? DAP boleh menuntut rakan pakatan rakyat iaitu PKR utk mengambil pendirian bersama memulaukan PAS atau mengeluarkan PAS dari Pakatan Rakyat. Itu hak DAP dan PKR..terpulang.

Buat masa ini, adalah lebih baik PAS berdiam diri kerana pasti kebenaran akan terserlah jua... mungkin juga adalahlebih baik PAS berjalan sendiri atas landasan untuk menegakkan syiar Islam. Sekiranya PAN dan Mat Sabu "gatal" benar nak keluarkan PAS, biarlah PAN membuktikan kekuatan politik mereka dalam pilhanraya akan datang. Bagi saya, ahl parlimen yang menyertai PAN adalah untested. Biarlah mereka berdiri dibawah panji-pamji PAN dan kita lihat samada mereka menang bertarung atau tidak.

Mungkin juga, ini adalah pembersihan yang diperlukan untuk menapis mereka yang terlalu taksud dengan idea Anwar sebagai PM. Saya rasa PAS lebih matang dari itu dan pengajaran Kajang move telah memisahkan yang satu dari yang lain.

Mungkin juga, ini adalah cubaan yang maha kuasa....wallahualam

Malaysia : Of humiliation, humiliation and ....

Nothing seems to go right these days. Haze is back, 1MPM6 elegant silent on USD 760M unanswered and latest even the state of the nation's football is a disgrace...


1MPM6 Najib is really having his backs on the wall. Rightly or wrongly, he needs to ride out the storm for the next 2 weeks, at least until 16th September for Malaysian day celebration before he needs to dig in until 24th September 2015 to reflect the meaning of Kurban (sacrifice). After that, we will see whether 1MPM6 is willing to "kurban" his political career by hanging his boots or will continue his thick skinned charade of "nothing happen" despite the global attention to his USD 760M funds.

Before we go any further, Malaysia football team is on the receiving end losing 10 - 0 to UAE. Fortunately, the day after, Qatar beats Bhutan 15 - 0. However, that should not be an excuse when the nation's football team was once one of Asian tigers. Now, it is a kitten by comparison. The loss is shameful at best. Instead of going to the coach's jugular, who by the way is Dollah Salleh, maybe it is time for the elders of FA Malaysia to resign en masse. That move will be multi-fold. One is to inject fresh blood to turn around the state of Malaysian football and the other more important is to send a respectful "what to do and how to do it" to the one who will not step down.

Whilst the world is watching and tracking, Malaysia play host to ICAC (International anti-corruption Conference) where 1MPM6 played safe and skip delivering his keynote speech. In his place, Paul Low huffed and puffed putting his points across that 1MPM6 skipped the event so that he will not face "hostile reception" from the international delegates.

ICAC delegates relentless questioning of 1MPM6's USD 760M "donation" keeps Paul Low, Zahid, Wahid even MACC busy fending off the notion that Malaysia is not doing enough to investigate the matter. One of 1MPM6 defender, Tg Aziz is caught in an awkward position when he defends 1MPM6 at the same time agreed to the suggestion that Putrajaya "influenced" steps taken by the investigators.

With all the hoopla of ICAC, do you know what happen to Guatemala? Guatemala is a small nation of 15M population located in Central America. The Congress (equivalent to Malaysia Parliament?) took action on Attorney General's evidence that the President is involved in graft. The President, Otto Perez Molina, decided to resigns from his post and 2 hours later was formally charged with graft. Amount? USD millions (but not as much as USD 760M).

Question - why can't 1MPM6 emulate Guatemalan President to quit over the unanswered USD 760M fund? Instead, 1MPM6 through his powers influenced the sacking of Attorney General and relaced with his own friendly Attorney General and then disbanded the special task force investigating the money trail? The Guatemalan President did not run, hide or seek asylum nor did he come out with vague answers to the charges. Further, he did not block the Attorney General from doing his work and he did not blackmail his congress to act to his whims and fancies.



And what about ours?



I hope 1MPM6 take a similar action and let the Attorney General do his work and let the MPs' carry out their job. 1MPM6 should stop terminating the services of those investigating or questioning his moves. That means Najib should not take planned to dismiss Muhyiddein as his deputy in UMNO and he should reinstate officers to carry out their work. Better still, if 1MPM6's claim that he did not spend the money for his personal use, then Najib should take a well deserved vacation and allow the investigators to wrap up their investigations. He can come back when the "all clear" sign is given. Unless 1MPM6 is suspicious of what Zahid would do in his absence. Then again, with trusted lieutenants like Ahmad Maslan, Tg Nan, Azalina, the Keruak fellow, Tg Aziz, and the MB's of all states (with the possible exception of Kedah), Najib should not feel threatened with his vacation.

If Dollah Salleh can resign when his charges perform miserably and he takes the blame, then 1MPM6 is Bugis enough to take the same course of action. I am sure 1MPM6 has Nothing2hide, then why fear when there is nothing to fear.
