The Oracle of Syed Putera Speaks Again!

Part 1.
Tun Daim has given an interview to the Sunday Times. He will give a few more. The next one will be with Utusex Malaysia. The paper that loves to be sued. The ‘conclusions’ from the interview will the same as in Sunday Times.

Daim has been asked to endorse Najib. But I will tell you a different story. I too have met up with Daim’s alter ego, the Oracle of Syed Putra quite recently. I therefore appear to enjoy the same stature as the UMNO owned presses. 

And I can tell you who from the NST group was responsible for getting the elusive Daim to give interviews to UMNO controlled media. That guy must be pleading with Daim. I hope that person makes it to the top if the person can avoid being waylaid by more distinguished and cool journalists. But I will not name names because one of them was once upon a time accused as being a national threat. As a result the person lost the chance of becoming press secretary to Muhyidin. The job instead went to a parroting jezebel.

It has been more than 3 moths I haven’t met up with the Oracle of Syed Putra. His alter ego has been spending months abroad resting and relaxing. Or he has hidden himself even from UMNO people whom he says will try to see him asking for money to contest in the elections. He is not keen anymore to bankroll the UMNO hopefuls. UMNO is going to lose in the coming election. In 2008 didn’t the UMNO people said Daim was senile, past shelf life and irrelevant to UMNO politics? Daim is now enjoying an elevated stature- but like A R Tompel says- senyum ada makna tu. Read it as, angkat ada makna tu….

As a result, Tun Daim isn’t available to give his views about Malaysian politics. That is why I have not penned down any writings on my interview with the Oracle. My patience though has been rewarded.

On the 23^rd of March I was able to meet up with the Oracle. I made full use of the one hour session.

Now even Tun Daim is fearful about UMNO’s impending loss. He has been critical of Najib, UMNO and BN but only to the extent that he was sure UMNO and BN will not lose. So in theory, he like the others felt free to criticise UMNO. But once theory will become reality, even Tun Daim is circumspect.

But I told the Oracle- all he has to do is ask Tun Daim not to get himself into the loop. Just humour the UMNO leaders. In a few days, Daim will be interviewed by the paper that is being sued right down to the tattered underpants of the chief editor- Utusan Malaysia. He has been asked to give some positive endorsements to Najib and UMNO. He says he will play along. What else can he do? He has been asked to restrain himself when giving interviews and speeches. So, the contents of the impending interview, we already know.

I asked the Oracle-is there some truth in rumours saying that when Najib counselled Tun Daim a few weeks ago- Daim told Najib in order to win marginally Najib must do two things; (1) eliminate 90% of the incumbents and(2) ditch Rosmah.

When I asked that question, the Oracle let out a guffaw. That would be a waste of time wouldn’t it? Najib hasn’t got the fortitude to make revolutionary changes. At best, he will remove 40% of the incumbents mostly aligned to Muhyidin.

To the second requirement, if Najib would even dream of it, he will be another John Wayne Bobbit. (I am sure the UMNO people remember JW Bobbit under the present climate where the showing of pornographic videos is a favourite pastime by the soldiers of agama, bangsa dan tanah air).

I haven’t read the Sunday Times and am not about to do so. If I can get direct information, why should I be content with second hand and edited views? I will write more in the next chapter. Daim’s views on Sabah, Kedah, UMNO, Najib and Anwar Ibrahim. Talking to the Oracle is like talking to Daim himself. After all, he is Daim’s alter ego right?
