Muhyideen Yaseen. You another indian muslim guy? sure sounds like one. Was that why Shahrizat saved your butt in the UMNo elections? And you gave away RM250mil contract to her husband for the supply and rearing of cattle?
A lepoard does not change its spots ! Call for a GE now and see what happens !
"....but we have worked towards changing ourselves,...." .........like changing into more BIADAP and praising the putrajaya officers to be biadap becos they have the licence to scold all malaysians
“That is why I am saying that if the Prime Minister calls for snap polls tomorrow, there is no reason why we (BN) will not win Wangsa Maju with an even bigger majority,” he said.
Just do it ! Call for an election today !
It has been a long way to the top for the eldest son of Malaysia's second Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak Hussein.
Najib's career had a head-start because of his prestigious family name, but as the skeletons in the cupboard appear to pile
up, Najib faces ever more challenges.
Born in 1953, Najib contested his late father's seat of Pekan when the latter died in office in 1976. He was then slightly
below 23 years old and still holds the record as the youngest Malaysian ever to enter Parliament.
Najib held several deputy ministerial appointments between 1978 and 1982. In 1982, at the age of 29, he was made the Menteri
Besar of Pahang. He served two stints as Minister of Defence (1990-1995, 1999-2008), and served as Minister of Youth and
Sports (1986-1990) and Minister of Education (1995-1999).
A decade ago, Najib was the other candidate in the race to fill the No. 2 post in Umno and government left vacant as a result
of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's sacking.
But as Anwar was dismissed on alleged personal improprieties and misuse of power, then Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad
selected the unimpressive but religious and squeaky clean Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi as his deputy and later his
successor.
Najib almost lost his parliamentary seat in the 1999 general election, winning with a 241-vote majority.
Is Umno in a self-implosion mood?
An atomic (or nuclear) explosion occurs as the radioactive ingredients concoct to accelerate particle movements and
bombardments to create an implosion (instead of the conventional explosion) of particles and molecules of the device, thus
creating a chain reaction that amplifies the energy (not to mention radioactivity) to preposterous levels. Thus a simple
device can create such a horrendous and long-lasting damage that the world today is engaged in the whys' and why nots' of
having this device as a fail-safe deterrent to threat.
In Malaysia currently the debate for safe nuclear technology exemplifies the concerns and fears of Malaysians to the
destructive capabilities of nuclear as opposed to its actually carbon free and environmental friendly limitless power should
it be used safely. The wisdom of whether we are ready or not for it shall continue to be debated, though it may take some
time to actually happen ...maybe a very, very long time.
This is rocket science so many may not be able to gauge its true meaning. But to give an easier to understand example, let us
take a more homely and vastly followed matter to elaborate - Umno. What nuclear implosion can cause to the environment (not
to mention living beings) Umno seems to be following it to the letter. Still hard to fathom? Here's the easy explanation.
Umno doesn't act like wine - if wine grows and tastes better with age Umno seems to be more stale and bitter with age. A
64-year old wine would already be labelled vintage; but a 64-year old Umno can only be described as pathetic. Whilst it top
leaders (who fail to see the new politics unfolding before their eyes) brash around the nation about its accomplishments and
history, it seems some leaders at the grassroots level are more concerned with their petty squabbling and inner demons rather
than addressing the needs of the rakyat.
The recent spate of reports citing infighting, money politics and alleged rebellion among the ranks justify many Malaysians'
views of the chaotic state this once revered party is in at the present. In Kelantan, many of its members are already
confined to the belief that until and unless the present PAS-led government loses its Islamist image, there can never be a
day of Umno to return to power there.
A recently concluded divisional meeting there had to be repeated for reasons allegedly involving an attempt to undermine the
leadership. This may or may not be the case, but suspicions grew when other divisions in other states began to follow this
route.
In Kedah for example, an Umno divisional meeting was allegedly interrupted by calls from the members against one of its own
who happens to be working with the president. Kedah unfortunately is heading the Kelantan way, although religion has got
nothing to do with the state of affairs there. Umno members at the grassroots level feel that the leadership of the state is
going nowhere, since it is being led by an outsider although he is a party deputy president.
Sadly for them, they are poor with choice. A member alleged that about 10 of the state's divisional Umno heads do not even
reside in Kedah, let alone make paltry visits to serve the constituencies. Coupled with the alleged rebellion, and nearly
followed by another division (which allegedly was foiled by invisible hands), Umno seems set to again lose Kedah. And the
leadership squabble is heating up with several camps formed and each not on talking terms with another.
Backstabbing and name-calling have become a norm there and unfortunately the man tasked to bring control to the state is
unable to do so due to his outsider status. What is worse is that his popularity and leadership is adversely affected by the
sequence of events – that even his own standing in his native state is compromised. And there are also calls for a new
leadership to be appointed from among the state itself, and this has escalated the small yet self-destructive civil war.
We go to Sabah next. The alleged war between the state's two most influential Umno groups heated up recently when one group
began to distribute a 'dossier' of sorts reportedly on allegations of mismanagement and corruption against the leader of the
other group. This dossier was not only distributed internally, but also to other BN components, and this has escalated
tensions to the extent that development for the poor state has been impeded and delayed. This not only irked Umno members, it
has raised an outcry from other component allies as well as the impoverished people whose needs should have superseded any
claims for power and unfortunately money.
Then there's Perak, where Umno is still trying to repair its image over allegations of buying over certain seats to wrest
control of the state from the opposition. Whilst the new MB is toiling to prove that he is more than just a former alleged
ally of one Anwar Ibrahim, leaders not favouring him are leading calls for his replacement. At the same time, many are also
of the view that unless real balanced development is brought into the state soon, a return to the opposition in the next
elections is a foregone conclusion. And at present there seems to be no salvation on that front.
Let's not forget about Terengganu, where the Deputy Prime Minister and also Deputy Umno President publicly cry foul over the
absence of four state representatives to an Umno divisional meeting in Setiu. Internal rebellion over the appointment of the
new MB perhaps? Wow, it seems Umno members have lost its Islamic touch of to forgive and to forget – they are more vengeful
than ever it seems. It can concluded that there are also similar frictions in other divisions in the state, and again
unfortunately for Umno, it is being led by an outsider, though not as far as from the land beneath the wind.
These infighting examples are not just what Umno is facing at the moment. A report in the newspapers recently may not
surprise many. It is about money politics, that an Umno member who was a former parliamentarian was trying to buy votes to
get a seat for the upcoming general assembly in a division. Talk about cheap politics! Can you imagine money transferring
hands for such a small token? This is paltry Umno at its lowest ebb and we hope the MACC (which is already saddled with
ridicule and contempt by many) will bring to light the perpetrator soon.
What will happen when the real deal – party elections proper happens? We can safely conclude more money will transfer hands,
money that could have been well spent on arresting the pariah problem of urban poverty in the federal territories. We can
also deduce that this incident may not be an isolated case.
There is also disillusionment among the Youth ranks, as can be felt when its chief (who allegedly is not in the good books of
the president) points to the way that he is exiting the door soon. The ongoing public spat against one Kalimullah Hassan over
allegations that Kalimullah was one of the people responsible to try and undermine the president's leadership before and his
connections with the youth chief may speed up that decision. If this is true, then backstabbing and 'political'
assassinations can be added to Umno's ever growing resume of myopia.
In conclusion, these factors coupled with the leadership's failure to launch (err, failure to capture the rakyat's vision
that is) are creating a chain of events that is not only making Umno a laughing stock, but also creating disunity among the
ranks and further isolation from the public. This chain of events is similar to a nuclear implosion, and it seems many are
predicting the fall of Umno not just because of its poor insight into the people's needs, but also due to its horrendous
internal problems.
Many had hoped to see positive changes as promised by the party president when he took office, yet by the look of things
within the party and in the present administration, talk is cheap. Appointing people unaccountable to the public into his
administration is fast seen as an effort to keep him in power. Those that question this are dealt with like they are a
national threat. Promises that the price of fuel will not rise this year are just but empty leaks to a sinking Titanic that
the government tries to valiantly defend with statistics and reasons.
A promise is a promise no matter what happens next. That is the accepted maxim and Umno is seen as breaking that promise. Add
to that an inept minister who goes to meetings saying something and then addressing the press with something else and we are
already looking at a nuclear winter of discontent within Umno and the population.
The hanging issue of direct membership into BN is also a matter of grave concern. Many Malaysians would love the chance to
join the BN without having to 'kowtow' to any of its components; but this in turn will render the components irrelevant (to
quote one late Agustine Paul).
The component leaders are already at war with this suggestion (made by the PM of all people); and the eerie silence at
present can only be assumed to mean that this idea has been shot down by not just BN components, but by Umno itself!
If Umno believes that it is strong enough that it does not need any alignment with other parties including PAS, then Umno may
lose its relevancy sooner than it thinks. Rather than address its internal problems, Umno tries to poke at the opposition,
maybe to veil its own wounds.
Rather than address issues that matter to the population, Umno goes into self implosion mode to secure whatever leftovers are
there in the garbage bin. For a 64-year old party, this is surely not what wine would want to turn into. This is classic
nuclear technology the Malaysian version.
Filth and Evil never ever changes - it can hide, camouflage itself, but will never deliver benefits.
“I have to make sure that none of my siblings come into the path of potential conflict of interest, and that they are where
they are because they deserve to be there. In any case, none of them are in government. One is a lawyer, one is an architect,
one is in semi-retirement and there’s one in CIMB."
Is this the man?
The custodian of the dying ember?
The man who generations to come will remember as the last man standing, before the new dawn set in?
OR
Is this the man who is going to set in an even more harsh regime?
To ensure he and his team will have a long run on the nation?
Driven by chauvinism, and detested by the international as well as the domestic society?
Is this the start of a dynasty in the Malaysian Public Life?
Does this mean that we Malaysians are so incapable that we need a select few families to tell us how to live our lives?
Are we so dependent that all aspects of our lives need to be controlled?
Are we so handicapped that we need these political dynasties to teach how to interact with each other?
CAN WE THE MALAYSIAN PEOPLE RISE TO THE OCCASSION WHEN THE NATION NEEDS US?
CAN MALAYSIA DEPEND ON US?
Dr Mahathir’s autocratic, said those who engaged in money politics in UMNO should be arrested under the ISA. Oh Please do
that. No better way to make UMNO more popular among the warlords. AND the first one they would have to arrest who be him
being the Father of Money Politics or more popularly known Mr. Ten Percent..we must first put najib in.Umno divisional
election nominations to win the party presidency uncontested,(MONEY POLITICS ) Najib is now forced to endure screaming
volleys of epithets, the latest that he will foster a dictatorial regime once he takes office.HOW HONEST IS, HE ADMITTED HE
SENT THOSE SMS THE HIS LAWYER.
WHY Razak Baginda, the fall guy, with no further obstacles or hindrances in sight for Najis in his ascending to the Top
Power, has now been released??? The real murderers whose identities are obvious but are still at large, with RPK detained
under ISA but just released and PI Balasundram exiled overseas there are no other major obstacles and hindrances to Najis’
ascendancy to the pinnacle of his power come March 2009. This is only obvious that UMNO has now the final say in justice with
their man Zaki as the Chief Justice. This is the obvious Justice of Malaysia, the laughing stock of the whole world, Malaysia
should be boycotted by the world communities for their greatest injustices towards human rights and common normal justices.
THIS IS MALAYSIA’S MALAY SUPREMACY AT ALL COSTS BUT GOING DOWN THE SEWERS WITH NARJIS, THE NEW PRIME MINISTER IN WAITING
AFTER THE 51ST YEAR OF INDEPENDENCE.
He may be months away from occupying the top job in Malaysia but Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is already having to answer
questions about his four brothers — and their possible influence in his administration.
The cynics and the Opposition believe that his siblings will benefit from Najib’s ascension to power, drawing a bulls-eye on
the back of CIMB’s Datuk Nazir Razak, one of the country’s top bankers.
In an interview with The Edge, Najib confronted this issue. He noted that Nazir joined CIMB well before he became the Deputy
Prime Minister and had done well, judging by how the market viewed him.
“And yesterday, I read that he received the recognition of being the second best banker in Asia. So I think it speaks volumes
for his performance in the bank… there’s no conflict of interest and most of the dealings of CIMB are with the Central Bank.
“So the Central Bank decides on a lot of matters, '' he said. Najib did not envisage a conflict of interest situation with
his other brothers — Nizam, Nazim and Johari, pointing out, that “they’ve been quite scrupulous actually in terms of not
wanting to put me in any embarrassing situation of potential conflict.”
But perception is everything in Malaysia and as Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi found out, the
involvement of family members in business can become a political liability.
As the pain of the 1998 financial crisis hit home and the political fallout over the sacking of Anwar Ibrahim became more
serious, the involvement of Dr Mahathir’s children in business was put under the microscope by his foes.
Charges of cronyism and nepotism were tossed at him and it became one of the main platforms of attack which the Opposition
used in the 1999 General Election. The heat persuaded Datuk Mokhzani Mahathir to sell off some business interests and take a
lower profile.
Ironically, Dr Mahathir used this tactic successfully against Abdullah, accusing him of favouring his son, Kamaluddin and his
son-in-law Khairy Jamaluddin. The potency and source of the attack made it necessary for Abdullah to publicly defend his son
and Khairy.
In The Edge interview, Najib was asked whether he was worried of attracting the perception that Dr Mahathir and Abdullah had
because of the involvement of their sons and son-in-law in business. And how he would tackle such a perception?
He replied: “I have to make sure that none of my siblings come into the path of potential conflict of interest, and that they
are where they are because they deserve to be there. In any case, none of them are in government. One is a lawyer, one is an
architect, one is in semi-retirement and there’s one in CIMB.
“So I don’t see any problem with that and they were where they are now before I came to the job.”
Solid answer, now he just has to manage the perception.
"The involvement of family members in business can become a political liability." Yes, very true, but does this stop you and
the other UMNOputras from enriching all your family members? No it doesn't because you guys don't care what the rakyat thinks
of you as long as you steal our money and become billionaires.
Mr. Najib, if you can blow up an innocent girl in cold-blood, do you really expect us to believe that you won't take our
millions? Don't worry, the rakyat will be able to C4 ourselves in time to come.
report abusedisagree 1agree 11
What we need is a competent leader with integrity,siblings of leader do not necessarily become a burden to the
leader.However,a leader who have to carry a bunch of baggage,he actually becomes the burden to his siblings.
taking charge of CIMB is not about brain work.. its about money works...
Think this way, dirty money goes in CIMB, came out clean.. who got the benifit non other then Najis and Co.
How can you make sure BTW??
BOYCOTT CIMB Bank ALREADY! ITS A MONEY LAUNDRY BANK for what I've know!
Hello! Hello! What have we here? Another statement from Najib who thinks we are stupid.
Mr Najib, its not only about conflict of interest, I'll come return to that later, its also about how your siblings, cousins,
aunties, uncles came to occupy such positions. Is your brother really capable in managing CIMB? I hate to tell you this,
within the banking industry, the professional bankers laugh privately whenever your brother's name is mentioned. He has no
vision, no idea whats what, but instead rely heavily on a coterie of true financial pros to advise him. What the heck is your
brother doing in CIMB is a wonder. Besides, many within the banking sector knows that the government gives priority treatment
to CIMB and CIMB gets first hand knowledge of the government's finance plans. Although, such matters are hard to prove as
there is no solid evidence, the very fact that CIMB acts with some pre-cognition of what the government plans to do is enough
to raise suspicion. I guess that would at least suffice to cast some doubt on whether there is conflict of interest with
having your brother in CIMB and you as PM of the country.
My hope is that you, Mr Najib, will continue to speak more about such issues. It will give us, the rakyat, an opportunity to
learn more about your views regarding our perception and what you think of us. Its regrettable that you think the rakyat are
generally stupid and are easily led around by the nose. This is the new millenium and not the 1960s - 1980s era where most
people had no access to alternative opinions and unsanitized news reports.
An employer who learns that an employee is stretched to the limit financially, for example by having 3 children, caring for
ageing parents and caring for a family member with Down Syndrome, may decide to exploit the employee, demanding that they
work extra hours and extra duties, all without compensation, confident that the employee is so desperate for their pay-packet
that they won't protest or resign.
Such scenario is made even more likely during a downturn in the economy, when employers will seek any means, fair or foul, to
save money. The IRB plan should not be permitted, it is altogether the wrong medicine for the disease of over-deduction..
Hmm,C4 can say he is sqeaky clean even to the Koran. BUT we all know the difference. Very simple -- how come there are so
many crimes in Msia, especially commited by ministers, well connected UMNOputras. I wonder why there are so many millionaires
in UMNO alone than all of PK politicians put together. Very interesting
Filth and Evil never ever changes - it can hide, camouflage itself, but will never deliver benefits.
If you the rakyat votes in filth and evil, you deserve to get screwed (likely from the back after witnessing the penchant for
posterior talents)
People get the governance they deserve. (so think wisely...)
Najib tried in vain to derail Abdullah's ascension in mid-2003 and later swallowed his pride to serve as Abdullah's deputy
since 2004, biding his time to make his next move.
In the lead-up to the 2006 Umno general assembly, Najib and Dr Mahathir were seen preparing the ground for a showdown with
Abdullah. But Dr Mahathir was immobilised by a heart attack while Najib was mired in the unfolding Altantunya case. It was
thus smooth sailing for Abdullah.
As support for Abdullah within and outside Umno collapses due to the poor performance of Umno/BN in the general election and
Abdullah's failure to work a post-election second wind, Najib finally comes close to the job he probably sees as his
birthright.
Apart from his personal failures, Abdullah's downfall is, of course, in part the work of Najib the prince, the master of
palace manoeuvres.
Najib's camp was said to be involved in sabotaging candidates parachuted by the Fourth Floor during the March 8 general
election.
Initially, Najib reluctantly accepted a deal to succeed Abdullah in June 2010 but, in cohorts with Dr Mahathir and Tan Sri
Muhyiddin Yassin, a groundswell of disaffection against Abdullah was manufactured, leaving Abdullah little choice but to
agree to retire earlier.
Years ago in 1987, with an impressive power base and holding the balance of power in the Team A and Team B fight, in a move
not unlike palace betrayal, Najib abandoned the Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah camp at the last minute and contributed to Dr
Mahathir's narrow win.
Having the most extensive internal networks within the government and Umno, and long years of experience in factional trading
in Umno, unlike the hapless Abdullah, Najib is likely to be master of his own destiny in the twists and turns of Umno's
palace.
Najib may also excel as the Machiavellian prince, ever prepared to be hated so long as he is able to maintain power.
Even Abdullah, a man more humane in his outlook than most of his colleagues, failed to push for more civil liberties and
democratic reform. Najib is unlikely to be a new democrat, as the fear of becoming Malaysia's Gorbachev looms large.
The Machiavellian-Mahathir recipe of authoritarianism will probably be reincarnated in Najib's government.
Najib the prince's Achilles heel could be his political blue blood and his inability to comprehend the common man's life and
needs.
During the fuel hike in 2006, Najib's "change lifestyle" statement was not unlike the "let them eat cake" comment commonly
attributed to Maria Antoinette.
The alleged wrongdoings in the multi-billion Eurocopter and Sukhoi deals are just examples that add to the agony of low-level
military personnel and reinforce Najib's image as one who only cares for big-ticket weaponry.
The RM5 billion Valuecap move to prop up the market by using the life savings of the common man with the Employees Provident
Fund is another blunder that manifests Najib's failure to feel the layman's pain in the face of the impending economic
meltdown.
The Najib premiership is likely to be a combination of Najib the master of palace wayang kulit, Najib the Machiavellian
authoritari
“That is why I am saying that if Najib calls for snap polls tomorrow, there is no reason why we (BN) will not win Wangsa Maju with an even bigger majority,” he said.
Muhyidin, I sure am you are speaking of your DREAM BUT NOT YOUR REAL BELIEF. Anyway since you are UMNO no 2 man,so we Rakyat are not at all surprise at the standard of thinking.That is why you can see just anything from FDI to Direct nego contract and scandals involving you boss Malaysia IS NO 1 from the bottom.
