Behind the cool façade, his ‘couldn’t be bothered’ attitude towards the criticism by Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, his show of confidence by engaging with the scheduled day to day activities, giving speeches and fulfilling engagements and seemingly invincible with his sycophants, with the unfolding of the TH-1MDB fiasco Datuk Seri Najib Razak is a desperate man. Look at how serious Najib is nowadays because there is nothing to be smiled at!
Najib has never known and experienced real hardship in his upbringing, throughout his political career and until being handed over the post of Prime Minister. Almost everything has been handed to him on a platter. May be even Rosmah was the one who seduced him and Najib was not the one pursuing her.
Despite being groomed to lead the country one day, Najib did not learn much. May be he thought he was too smart to learn from others thus he did not emulate the previous prime ministers or even his own father!
Therefore he tried do things differently and introduced new untested things, fresh from the oven; unfortunately all of them are half-baked! Thus when small troubles come, Najib used to ignore them but when real trouble comes, Najib has now become ‘kelam kabut’ (haphazard). It is not surprising that in his desperation, he made more mistakes!
The move made by Najib in instructing Tabung Haji to partially bail out 1MDB at an exorbitant purchase price compared to the initial cost of the land was not well thought of; a half-baked idea! It has back fired and made matters worse than before for Najib. Najib has tainted the most sacred fund of the poor Muslims who have been saving meager amounts for several decades to perform hajj.
Now it is not only the Muslims who have been angered, the majority of Malaysians are also angry not only in solidarity with the Muslims but also in the prospect of losing their savings in public funds!
This is the result of Najib’s lopsided upbringing and grooming mentioned above. He is very insensitive towards the feelings and problems of the people who had voted for Umno/BN and indirectly put him to where he is now. Instead he persisted on his and his wife’s self-indulgences.
Najib is desperate in trying to solve the problems faced by 1MDB which he initially insisted was in good shape. Najib is only fooling himself because it has been so obvious that since there is not a single bank which is willing to lend money to 1MDB, this simply means that 1MDB is toxic, it has no sustainable value anymore and it could go bankrupt!
It has been reported that even TNB has now been instructed to absorb a substantial amount of 1MDB liability in the power sector; Project 3B which have been detailed out in the internet quite recently.
The people are now wondering which GLC or public funds would be used next by Najib to completely bail out 1MDB? Najib must accept that 1MDB should close shop; sell everything and save the public’s money.
Najib must realize that even with the OSA, the details of his moves will be leaked out, because there are still many people with integrity and conscience who would not allow themselves to be used by Najib! Unlike the four stooges, untrustworthy and shameless people who had let the TH-1MDB fiasco to happen.
Of course being board members in both companies, they not only have conflicting interests, they only served their’s and Najib’s wimps and fancies! The TH chairman is another idiot who is willing not only to kiss, but willing to lick the dirtiest part of his master’s anatomy clean!
Najib is not only desperate because of the 1MDB debacle; the most worrying thing for him is that his top men are now having second thoughts in continuing to support him till the end!
Umno Vice President Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal has conveniently gone to Mekah with his family for ‘umrah’ (small hajj), when Najib is in Sabah. Shafie had earlier mentioned that Najib must handle TH land deal with 1MDB!
Dr M and PM Najib
Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussien who is another Umno Vice President and Najib’s cousin wants the 1MDB be audited quickly and present the outcome as soon as possible. The Audit Department could be using the delaying tactic in trying to give time to Najib.
Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin has been one of the first leaders in Umno who wants Najib to reply to Tun Dr. Mahathir’s attacks on Najib! Although he may sway a bit, still he has said what should be said.
Now MIC, MCA and Gerakan leaders said that the public deserved answers to the very controversial TH-1MDB land deal.
Above all, the person who is most likely to replace Najib, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yasin has openly criticized the government's handling of the 1MDB scandal and warned that the issue was so serious that it might explode.
Indeed, the people in Malaysia are also asking the same questions and Najib has not given them any answers. They are not happy with Najib anymore. Najib’s supporters at the grass root level are also asking and wondering about the TH-1MDB fiasco. After all, Najib’s supporters are paid crowds and sycophants.
The popular Mufti of Perlis Datuk Dr. Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin has also voiced out his concerns on the TH-1MDB land deal and has asked other Muslim religious leaders to come forward and ask the same question, challenging the pro-Umno Muslim scholars to declare their stance!
Despite the troubles in Pakatan Rakyat, the results of the Rompin and Permatang Pauh by-elections are testimony to how unpopular Umno is under Najib. May be Najib has expected this to happen and he shied away from involving in the campaigns!
The events and reactions to the moves made by Najib are the results of an ongoing plot to remove him from power. It is not a secret anymore.
Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal
Those involved in the plot are getting more Umno leaders on their side by the day and knowing that Najib’s days are numbered, they have started to distance themselves from him.
Even PAS president Dato’ Seri Abdul Hadi Awang and his ‘unity government’ team are of not much help to Najib anymore. They too must start to distance themselves from Najib lest they would be seen as cohorts to the TH-1MDB fiasco, resulting in being ridiculed by the Muslim voters. But, that is of course another story.
Indeed like 1MDB, Najib has now become highly toxic! The anti-Najib group is only waiting for the right timing to make the final move to push Najib out. - MAILBAG
