Muhyiddin, there is an adage, 'undur setapak untuk melonjak tiga tapak kehadapan'

Among the BN Legislative members, Najib has the upper hands compared to Muhyiddin. Muhyiddin's effort to oust Najib may only be good when comes the UMNO election as Muhyiddin has the upper hands within UMNO. For Muhyiddin to come forward immediately to oust Najib in near foreseable future is not possible as he has not enough numbers in the Legislative body, Parliament. 

Muhyiddin can only see the prospect to oust Najib only after the next General Election, and it will only if he can contain the support from members and divisional leaders by the time the party election comes by in 2018. More often than not a leader without the government positions will see his support evaporates to the thin air in no time. 

It is going to be stiff effort to get Najib stuck to his misdeeds through legal and investigations as the members of the investigation team are either sacked or be bought over by Najib. Nur Jazlan was critical on Najib and 1MDB, but he now works with Najib and pledge to give full and undivided support for Najib to return the favor that Najib gives him to be a Deputy Minister in one of the controversial and debatable Ministries in the government. He resigns from the PAC chairmanship gladly and instantaneously. 

Anyone who aspires to take on Najib as the Prime Minister has to have the support of the opposition front. This is where Muhyiddin's weakness is. Muhyiddin is not magnanimous enough to lead a nation that is populated by diversity of races and cultures. He is only an adaptable leader within UMNO and he has only Malay that he is familiar to work with.

Muhyiddin can only become a Prime Minister with two conditions. The first condition is that UMNO and BN can still hold on to power after the next General Election and secondly if he can oust Najib as the President of the UMNO in the coming party election that will only be held after the next General Election. The question now is whether Muhyiddin will be listed as BN candidate by Najib in the forth coming GE. 

If Muhyiddin has the intention to get the opposition to rally behind him to topple Najip through the Legislative Parliament is a day dream for him. Muhyiddin does not have the numbers to oust Najib through Parliament and if attempts to go through it now he is going to crash before even taking off. 

While he (Muhyiddin) is busy in search of mode and manner of ousting Najib, the desperate Prime Minister may be able to find a logical and legal manner of circumventing Muhyiddin's move. We must remember a desperate democrat can turn to dictatorship if his popularity is doomed like we obviously witness now. He may even manage to find good reasons to put Muhyiddin out of UMNO within days.

The only face-saving device that is available for Muhyiddin to upkeep his pride of his political dignity is to assist and back someone or anyone who has the numbers to get Najib moved out as early. Of course Muhyiddin has to own up the fact that in the process of saving this beautiful but badly managed nation there must be an element of personal sacrifice for the time being. 

Muhyiddin must remember that there is a Malay adage, 'berundur setapak untuk melonjak tiga atau empat tapak kehadapan'. Muhyiddin should know this. He is no novice in politics.

Pemecatan TPM: Perhimpunan Agung Khas UMNO dan BN perlu diadakan

Mesyuarat Majlis Tertinggi yang sepatutnya diadakan pada hari Jumaat ini telah dibatalkan. Begitu juga perjumpaan tertutup diantara Presiden parti dan pimpinan Bahagian yang juga sepatutnya diadakan di Dewan Tun Hussein Onn pada hari yang sama dibatalkan. Setiausaha Agung UMNO T Adnan Mansor tidak pula memberitahu apakah sebabnya perjumpaan-perjumpaan itu dibatalkan.

Pembatalan itu dikatakan kena-mengena dengan pemecatan Muhyiddin Yassin dari jawatan Timbalan Perdana Menteri dua hari lepas. Apa kaitan dengan pemecatan itu sama-sama kita buat persepsi masing-masing.

Tetapi seperkara yang wajar difahami, yang dipecat itu adalah pemimpin nombor dua negara dan mesyuarat itu tidak sepatutnya dibatalkan. Malahan Najib sepatutnya memanggil perhimpunan Agung khas UMNO kerana yang terlibat itu adalah pemimpin besar dalam parti dan kerajaan. Moralnya perhimpunan Agong khas parti wajar dipanggil serta merta bagi mendapatkan pandangan perwakilan dari seluruh negara.

Lebih dari itu Najib sebagai pengerusi BN sepatutnya memanggil mesyuarat majlis tertinggi BN kerana ia melibatkan Timbalan Pengerusi kepada BN. Najib tidak boleh memecat seperti membunuh nyamuk sahaja. Yang beliau pecat itu adalah Timbalan Perdana Menteri bukannya timbalan pengerusi JKKK.

Jika Najib benar-benar bermoral manusianya, kedua-dua perhimpunan Agung Khas UMNO serta perhimpunan Majlis BN wajar diadakan kerana itu sahaja caranya bagi Najib mendapat sokongan secara legitimasi dari pimpinan BN dan perhimpunan agung UMNO.

Perlantikan Muhyiddin sebagai Timbalan Perdana Menteri itu adalah dengan 'endorsement' BN, maka adalah salah moralnya jika BN dan perwakilan UMNO tidak diberitahu secara resmi tentang pemecatan yang beliau lakukan terhadap timbalannya. Jika semasa perlantikan Muhyiddin sebagai timbalannya dahulu di restui oleh perhimpunan UMNO dan BN maka pemecatan beliau itu perlu dirujuk kembali kepada perhimpunan khas UMNO dan BN juga.

Jika semasa meminang anak dara orang untuk dinikahi maka jika sampai waktu bercerai Najib perlu kembalikan isteri yang hendak diceraikan itu kepada ibu bapanya. Najib tidak boleh mencapakkan begitu sahaja timbalannya itu apabila sudah tidak diperlukannya lagi. Itu Melayu tidak beradab dan beradat namanya.Bukankah Melayu itu hidup mereka dikandung adat? Agama dijunjung adat dikendung, kata orang-orang yang beradat hidupnya.

Najib wajar memberitahu dengan berani bahawa beliau memecat Timbalanya itu diatas dasar dan sebab yang kukuh. Ahli-ahli UMNO serta BN wajar diberitahu melalui perjumpaan dan perhimpunan khas dan beliau tidak boleh hanya pandai memecat tetapi tidak tahu dan tidak berani untuk mengendalikan tindakan beliau memecat Timbalannya itu.

Lebih dari itu Najib perlu mendapatkan sokongan dari perhimpunan agung khas tentang perlantikan Ahmad Zahid Hamidi sebagai pengganti kepada Muhyiddin itu. Jika Najib tidak berani memanggil perhimpunan agung khas UMNO dan perhimpunan Barisan Nasional, persepsi umum yang pemecatan yang dilakukan oleh Najib itu adalah di dasarkan kepada kepentingan peribadi beliau sahaja dan bukannya diatas kepentingan partinya. Persepsi ramai yang beliau memecat Muhyiddin dan melantik Zahid Hamidi itu adalah semata-mata untuk melindungi beliau dari 'consequence' isu 1MDB semata-mata.

Ahli-ahli UMNO dan BN wajar mendesak Najib untuk memanggil perhimpunan agung khas itu kerana itu adalah tindakan yang sewajarnya dilakukan setelah melakukan pemecatan terhadap pemimpin nombor dua negara itu.

Kelalaian Najib dalam isu ini akan menguatkan persepsi ramai yang beliau seorang pemimpin yang tidak tahu adat dan adab dan hanya pandai mendapatkan dan seterusnya mengekalkan kuasa tanpa moral yang tinggi.

Isu ini isu besar. Najib perlu didesak dan mengambil isu ini sebagai isu besar kerana ia merupakan elemen penting dalam demokrasi, iaitu memperkayakan budaya dan semangat demokrasi itu.

Jika tidak dilakukan ini, Najib akan berhadapan dengan cemuhan dan interpretasi masing-masing dari rakyat jelata. Najib perlu bertanggungjawab diatas pemecatan timbalannya ini. Jika tidak betul kendaliannya, Najib tidak mustahil tersungkur dihadapan mata rakyat jelata yang semakin jemu dengan tindakan-tindakan pengecut beliau itu.

Stay united, please save our country

The Cabinet reshuffle yesterday was a reshuffle to ensure all the misdeeds of the government are concealed from the knowledge of the people. The reshuffle affirms the allegations that the 1MDB issue and all the allegations on Najib’s role in it are all true and real. The Attorney General was terminated just two months before he was due for retirement and the AG was taken aback by his sacking without notice.

They were wild rumors that the AG was prepared to charge Najib over the 1MDB issue and by his sacking just few weeks before he was due for retirement adds a firm believes that Najib was very terrified to face the reality of the 1MDB’s case. However the prerogative of the PM to appoint anyone for any position in the Cabinet has got to be recognized and accepted by all. The alleged dubious role by the PM in 1MDB issue now is very predictable and his action to cover up all the misdeeds by appointing fresh leadership under him is too telling that he is involved directly in the 1MDB fiasco.

As ordinary people understand what the goings on in 1MDB, the effort to put off Najib from power is mandatory and it must be done through the various political and democratic institutions available has to be applied immediately. There must be a consolidated and united effort to save this country from the plunders of irresponsible and deluded minded Cabinet lineup. The nation is in serious danger as the current new line up is giving blind loyalty to the disputed PM and it is going to have serious repercussions to the sovereignty of this beautiful nation that we have.

On the opposition side there must be a united stand and the opposition has to bury all differences within intra and interparty disorder for the sake of saving the country from further falloff and destructions. The rakyat has to repossess the power now in the hands of the irresponsible and undependable leaders. The building of the nation didn’t come easy, hence any group that works to destroy it has got to be circumvented and displaced.  

All the eighty odds opposition leaders in Parliament have got to stay united and put up strong stand to work on the disposing the illegitimate leaders that control us currently. Warring Hadi and LGE as well as Kit Siang has got to be submerged deeply and leaders from PKR have got to put up ‘save Malaysia’ as their main agenda. If this effort succeeds the following and subsequent moves will come in much easier to arrive at our ultimate, a new government and protected Malaysia.

Ultimately there must be enough numbers to push aside the illegitimate leaders led by Najib Razak currently. Please save this country.

Men who abuse and manipulate huge public fund are traitors?

There have been no Cabinet meetings for the past many weeks as the Cabinet members are too busy repositioning themselves while waiting for Najib to finally own up his massive abuse and misappropriation of public funds especially through 1MDB and subsequently resign and live in repentance. In actuality the Cabinet are liable and accountable but Najib is shouldering the burdens they jointly commit all alone.

None of his Cabinet lineup takes responsibility and accountability. They lump it all on to Najib. Najib is the sole recipient of humiliation from the people while his colleagues in the Cabinet who are supposed to take the accountability with him are turning teir back on the ailing PM.

Najib fails to deny the allegations that USD700 million were transferred into his personal account before the last General Elections. This issue is the biggest of all issues surrounding the 1MDB fiasco to date. As the outcome of this latest issue many individuals who were alleged to be responsible to transfer the money into Najib’s personal account are now becoming fugitives. Some were rumoured to take on hiding in Indonesia and some are said to be in London. They are all wanted by MACC and the police but they are now nowhere to be traced.

BNM is seeking to arrest two individuals in their investigation on the movements of money from 1MDB through various companies where the fugitives are on the board and the management of those companies. Bank Negara has to act on the misappropriation and the dubious transfer of those funds as Singapore Monetary Authority has been alerting BNM on the dubious movements of funds surrounding the 1MDB. If BNM fails to act then Monetary Authority (MAS) of Singapore will do it.

Why do they choose to be fugitives? If they are truthful with no dubious intents on the money’s transfer there is no reason for them to evade investigations and choose to be fugitives. Being a fugitive will only affirms the allegations that 1MDB was committing serious and unpardonable crimes in the eyes of law and all those responsible has to face the consequence of their act including the advisor of the sovereign funds Najib Tun Razak. It’s an act of insubordinations to the country and the people. We know what the punishment on a traitor would be. The legal experts will give you the actual answer. If I am not mistaken, death sentence is the punishment to traitors of a nation. Do correct me if I am wrong here.

For that reason this blog have been emphasizing since years ago that leaders are not easy to find. We just can’t take in any Tom, Dick and Harry who leads the party to be the leaders of this sovereign nation.

This blog have been unfailingly reminding everyone that a leader must be a planner in attribute. He must be an institutionalized man of integrity and he must have the soul only for the people and country. Above all he must be acceptable by all races that populate the country and that need a real and crudely a magnanimous leader. He or she must be well bred by his family and appreciates what accountability means and as a law-maker he must not trespass or violates any part of the law they legislate. These attributes would are only be possessed by a perfect gentleman.

Muhyiddin told the UMNO members in Cheras two days ago that he had spoken to Najib years ago that he (Najib) should resign as the chief of advisors to 1MDB as 1MDB was a big and gigantic scandalous outfit. In actuality he should have resigned in protest from the Cabinet if he was that concerned over the seriousness of the 1MDB’s activities. Muhyiddin was trying to distance himself from the responsibilities over 1MDB event though he was the member of Cabinet that decides everything that the Government did for 1MDB.

Zahid Hamidi is more concerned about his position and has been telling the grass roots that he will be the next deputy Prime Minister. He fails to recognize that he is an automatic disqualifier to any position in the failed Cabinet as he was part and parcel of 1MDB by virtue him being a Cabinet member.

He should instead go around the country raising his hands and surrender his position as member of a failed Cabinet and retire gracefully. Zahid should assemble all the cabinet members to resign together with him to take the accountability on all the plundering of public funds committed by the cabinet.

Remember this failed cabinet contributes to the current failed Government and anyone of the current member should not even contemplate to substitutes Najib as the leader. Najib has to go but the replacement should not come from any of his Cabinet members he appointed. That is the basic rule to restart the nation afresh. Anything less than that, we are going to be in perpetual problem.
