Dr M is right but Muhyiddin & Co are too COWARDLY: Najib clings on at great damage to Malaysia, Umno

Dr M is right but Muhyiddin & Co are too COWARDLY: Najib clings on at great damage to M'sia, Umno
Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, when once denying that he had any hidden agenda (in politics), pointed out that if people were saying that he had a hidden agenda, then it could not be so hidden since everybody seems to know about it.
Likewise, he has now denied that there is a conspiracy to topple Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak. “What conspiracy?” he asked. “Everybody knows that I want him out.”
Mahathir, never short of quick words despite having reached 90 years on July 10, was implying that a conspiracy was not necessary to topple Najib and even if perhaps there was a conspiracy, the retort would characteristically be: “So what?”
In any case, Mahathir obviously doesn’t need a conspiracy or co-conspirators with him to get Najib out of the Prime Minister’s chair. He has been laying out the rationale for a long time, and quite unrelated to the various allegations that followed in the wake of scandals after scandals being uncovered by the Opposition and the media.
He avoided the Opposition like the plague in going on the offensive against Najib, even pointing out at one time that it was in fact planning to cart off Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders to jail if and when it seizes the reins of power in Putrajaya. Hence, Mahathir’s mission in getting Najib out of the way was to save Umno and the BN and prevent the coalition’s certain defeat under Najib come 2018.
The former Prime Minister, while making clear many times that he would not work with the Opposition in getting Najib out, latched on to the allegations and scandals – “I only know what I read in the media” – to buttresses his main arguments against Najib i.e. that he was no leader, unlike his father Razak who was the Second Prime Minister, and that he was presiding over chaos as he was unable to cope with the situation on the ground and the complexities of governing a country of many multis.
Mahathir’s premise to get Najib out was that there was no confidence in the ringgit, the economy and the country because “there was a lack of confidence in Najib as Prime Minister and Finance Minister.”
Patently, Mahathir doesn’t need the issue of the missing RM42 billion from 1MDB, an unexplained RM2.6 billion in Najib’s personal banking accounts at AmBank Islamic private banking services before the last General Election, and other scandals to push Najib out.
Mahathir knows that when such allegations surface, the routine response would be for Najib to “buat tak tahu” (pretend not to know, go into a general state of denial, then deny specific wrongdoings, set up committees which would take forever to investigate allegations and in the meantime, the Federal Cabinet, the Umno divisional chiefs and others would all be stage managed to rally around him on the grounds that there was no evidence against the Prime Minister and that all this is the result of a conspiracy, no doubt involving tampered documents and foreigners, the treacherous and disloyal Opposition being behind it.
Mahathir’s arguments to get Najib out of the Prime Minister’s chair, however, are fool-proof: the market, the economy and the people have no confidence in him as a leader and this can be seen in the various indices. The people are suffering and Najib meanwhile is unable to keep a lid on racial and religious tension.
Even a simple phone theft incident at the Low Yat Plaza in Kuala Lumpur, by a Malay youth from a Chinese shop, threatened to spiral out of control into another searing May 13 race riot. Najib seemed helpless in a situation where a leader worth his salt, Mahathir being a case in point, would have put his foot down firmly and “brooked no nonsense” from any quarter, lawyers and police included.
The fact is that there are indeed any number of people in the country who, given half a chance, would create trouble in the streets and in the social media for no rhyme or reason. One cannot always dismiss such people as mentally unsound, on drugs and exercising their right to free speech and human rights. - FMT
