Dr. Mahathir group loosely consists of Daim, Ibrahim Ali, A. Kadir Jasin, bloggers,Tengku Adnan NGOs and recently the G-25 and many other individuals that is vocal against Najib is blaming the Umno president for everything bad in Umno, in the Malay community and in the country.
Muhyiddin Yasin is also blaming Najib for not doing enough and not doing the right thing. He proposed to make the efforts to help improve the Malay and Bumiputra community as a national agenda and not only as Umno’s. This will institutionalize the agenda.
The filthy Secretary-General,Tengku Adnan had handed him a bout of
Allowing Khairuddin’s filing of alleging
“questionable” business, investment and fund-raising transactions and decisions, A. Kadir Jasin, the former Editor in Chief of the New Straits Times and one of Mahathir’s closest allies, wrote on his blog that an additional report may be filed with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, a notoriously political body – ostensibly modeled on Hong Kong’s vaunted Independent Commission Against Corruption — that tends to shovel corruption complaints under the carpet unless there is a political motivation to push them along.
This is the first major attack against Najib, UMNO Secretary-General as a shrewd politician who says something, means something else and does something totally different? UMNO Secretary-General Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan blames Najib for all that has gone wrong with UMNO Najib needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Loyalists and hangers-on who occupy positions of power through favour-dispensing mechanisms always patiently wait their turn. At times they even get rewarded for Backstabbing Just a few months ago, they thought they had buried Najib, but as it turns out, they got careless about nailing the coffin shut. Factions loyal to Mahathir Mohamad, a former Prime Minister who won’t go away, accuse Mr Najib of not looking out for UMNO’s ethnic-Malay Muslim majority. Rumours persist that rebels are rallying around Mr Najib’s Deputy, Muhyiddin Yassin.

When Mahathir began his campaign against Najib more than a year and a half ago, it was given little chance. The former Prime Minister had been out of office for more than a decade and was regarded as a loud but irrelevant force. But political analysts in Kuala Lumpur say his campaign has been gaining traction over the 1MDB issue
“Realistically Najib’s situation is untenable,” a member of the Mahathir faction said. “Certainly he will fight back but whether he resigns or not point is he is he cannot function as PM.”The vehicle for his surrogates’ attack on Najib is 1MDB, the five-year-old state investment fund which as of March had amassed debts of RM49.1 billion (US$14.04 billion) against assets of RM51.4 billion, registering losses of Malaysian ringgit 63.5 billion at the end of the quarter, mainly on huge finance costs.

Mahathir and his allies have been dissatisfied with Najib’s performance for more than two years over a wide range of other issues as well, however. The 1MDB issue, described as “the mother of the mother of the mother of all scandals” by Democratic Action Party MP Tony Pua in an Asia Sentinel article on December 8, has become the vehicle with which the octogenarian hopes to skewer the Prime Minister.
A veteran newsman, closely associated with Dr Mahathir Mohamad says there is a buzz about a new person, from outside the media circle, acting as Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s propaganda chief.
For too long, UMNO Working Committee has been little more than a talking shop. Its recent confabulations underline that it has clearly failed to offer any prescriptions for a party struggling to come to terms with the electoral debacle of 2013. UMNO faces two challenges. First, its organisation has weakened in the absence of internal elections. Second, party leadership has failed to galvanise the rank and file by offering a credible government.Najib’s role must be scrutinised. Since the drubbing in May 2014, Najib has barely been seen or heard, either in parliamentary debates or in mass agitations PAS even after crushing defeats in polls Tan Sri Muhyiddin bin Yassin has galvanised a small force for 2018 election
Sometimes, it is important not to understand things. Everything happens for a reason, no doubt and in usual circumstances, it is critical to set things in context and to make sense of them as a part of a larger process. But at times, an event begs to be looked at from a singular perspective and evaluated for its own sake
. It remains worryingly smug and deluded perhaps by Najib’s belief that if UMNO is a computer, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, is the default programme. But repeated election results show a serious programme malfunction in the Grand Old Party. It’s time for Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to either become party president or let Tan Sri Muhyiddin bin Yassin is more dynamic to take that role. For the reluctant , the writing has been on the wall for a year: shape up or ship out.Tun Daim Zainuddin has revealed he knows those behind a sudden spotlight on his business empire as Malaysia's anti-graft officials investigate the former finance minister's banking business abroad.
Daim, in a statement today, said he was surprised that Umno-controlled Media Prima Bhd would provide coverage for opposition party PKR.

Najib What is happening Backstabbing now part of UMNO consciousness?
No one likes being stabbed in the back. It’s unpleasant and messy. Sometimes it can be fatal. Yet these days it seems to be quite common. Does this mean that this is now socially acceptable? Is it okay to creep up behind someone and plunge the knife in?The highest form of backstabbing is when a person backstabs an entire ideology, Very often followers of the particular ideology take it personally. But he is not stabbing you, he is stabbing your principles. It’s true that he now hates all of you very strongly, in a deep and personal way. But there are millions of you, and only one of him. So the individual effect is limited. This type of backstabbing causes little harm, and can be very entertaining. This should be socially acceptable.Personal backstabbing is trickier. Personal backstabbing involves ethical issues. This is especially true if servants are involved. If someone has eaten your salt, and kissed your slippers, repeatedly and lavishly, on national television, naturally when that person stabs you, even if you may have been slightly whimsical once in a while, it looks very bad. We all live in fear of servants going rogue. This is why society as a whole frowns on such behaviour.When the time is ripe, the Mahathir camp will backstab either Muhyiddin or Zahid, to allow Mukhriz to move into the ultimate position as the country’s prime minister. By then, Mahathir would feign having selective dementia regarding his personal attack on the cousins.
In his attack against the political dynasties in Umno, it is interesting to note that Dr Mahathir did not mention about his own political career, how he had clung on to power, until June 22, 2002, when he finally relinquished his post amidst growing pressure for him to vacate the position, which he had kept for over 22 years.
This kind of rough and tumble is not rare in Malaysia’s ruthless politics. It looks rather like the brawling which eventually toppled Mr Najib’s predecessor, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, in 2009. But lately two singular developments have added to the Prime Minister’s problems.
It has gained additional momentum because of allegations that Jho Low Taek, a hard-partying young friend of the Najib family, may have used Malaysian government guarantees to back the making of The Wolf of Wall Street, a hit movie starring Leonardo di Caprio, and to fund his attempt to take over three of London’s most prestigious hotels.Najib is the chairman of the 1MBD advisory board and the motivating force, apparently on the advice of Jho Low, as he is known, a putative whiz kid who is alleged to have steered the fund first into a disastrous alliance on oil exploration on the advice of a Saudi prince he went to school with in London.
1MDB –USD12 billion of Debt
The first is the terrible performance of 1MDB, a loss-making state investment fund that is struggling to service around $12 billion of debt and whose board of advisers Mr Najib chairs. At the end of December it failed to repay a $563m loan; some people fear that a costly bail-out is on the cards.
The second distraction is an unexpected verdict handed down by the
federal court in a long-running murder case. On January 13 the court overturned the acquittal of two policemen who were convicted in 2009 of murdering a Mongolian woman.

Her killers were members of a Police unit assigned to protect Mr Najib, then Malaysia’s Defence Minister, and one of them has fled to Australia, which may decline to extradite him. Mr Najib has always denied any involvement in the crime, and there is no evidence to the contrary. But the case is a magnet for conspiracists. Some wonder whether Mr Najib’s political opponents encouraged the court to deliver a verdict that would return the case to the headlines.Her killers were members of a Police unit assigned to protect Mr Najib, then Malaysia’s Defence Minister, and one of them has fled to Australia, which may decline to extradite him.
