BOMBSHELL: IN BID TO STAY ON AS PM, NAJIB TO MAKE KU LI FINANCE MINISTER & SECOND DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER

After completing Friday prayers and enjoying a plate of 'briyani' rice, I dozed off for a moment in the car. Even though I was sleeping in the broad daylight, I wasn't dreaming about anything.

Therefore, writing about Tengku Razaleigh was not based on a dream.

I was awaken by a phone call from someone who quickly told me that the Gua Musang MP will be appointed as Second Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister soon.

Why?

The caller gave three reasons why Najib Razak would make the appointment:

- As a 'reward' for agreeing to signing the Kelantan Declaration of support for Najib

- To strengthen Najib's position when dealing with Tun Mahathir Mohamad.

- to curtail Zahid Hamidi (the current Deputy Prime Minister) who allegedly is already harboring ambitions to become Prime Minister.

But does not Tengku Razaleigh want to be Prime Minister, and not just the Deputy Prime Minister?

From getting nothing to becoming the Deputy Prime Minister can be considered OKAY, said the caller who was full of confidence.

THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE IN MALAY IS APPENDED BELOW:

KU LI BAKAL DILANTIK TPM KEDUA?

Selesai Jumaat tadi, selepas menikmati sepinggan nasi beriani, saya terlelap seketika dalam kereta. Walaupun tidur di siang hari, tapi saya tidak bermimpi apa-apa.

Untuk itu, tulisan mengenai Tengku Razaleigh kali ini bukan berdasarkan mimpi sebagaimana yang pernah saya tulis sebelum ini.

Saya terjaga apabila seseorang menelefon dan pantas memberitahu bahawa Ahli Parlimen Gua Musang itu akan dilantik sebagai Timbalan Perdana Menteri Kedua dan Menteri Kewangan tidak lama lagi.

Sebab apa?

Si pemanggil memberikan tiga sebab mengapa perlantikan itu dibuat oleh Najib Razak:-

- sebagai 'hadiah' kerana sudi menurunkan tandatangan sokongan melalui Deklarasi Kelantan.

- untuk mengukuhkan lagi kedudukan Najib bagi berhadapan dengan Tun Mahathir Mohamad.

- mengimbangi kedudukan Zahid Hamidi yang didakwa sudah mula 'pasang angan-angan' untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri.

Tapi bukankah Tengku Razaleigh nak jadi Perdana Menteri, bukannya Timbalan Perdana Menteri?

Daripada tak jadi apa-apa, dapat jadi Timbalan Perdana Menteri pun kira okay juga, kata pemanggil tadi penuh yakin.
