Mahathir, Abdullah and Najib (MAN)

"Najib is the last of the RAHMAN equation, it has always been held in UMNO circles that the succession will be such that the first six prime ministers names will begin with the alphabet of the name Rahman, the name of the first Agung or even the first Prime Minister and this would be in succession, this they believed was not ordained, it was a pact, Musa may be able to shed some light here if there is any truth in it, and that is why it is said that Anwar had to get out, he was not in this pact, he was an outsider.

Musa was supposed to be the M in this equation, but had to go because the position of deputy PM was given to Mahathir who eventually became PM, by Hussein Onn (who was also not part of the plot Harun Idris should have filled that)even against his best judgment, becasue it is said he promised Razak who wanted Mahathir instead of Musa, this was clearly against the Tengku's choice of a young Musa when the plan was hatched.

The intial part of the jigsaw saw, Abdul Razak, Harun Idris, Musa Hitam after that it was to be handed down to the generations of selected elite and their children, Anwar did not fit that elite." So now we have Abdul Razak, Hussein Onn, Mahathir Mohammed (Musa Hitam) Abdullah Badawi(Anwar Ibrahim)and Najib Tun Razak the son of Tun Abdul Razak the man who gave Mahathir life in politics. Will the next be a Mahathir selection or a Najib selection? Remember what Abdullah said on retirement, "I am the last of the Razak generation of ministers to have held this post" the next generation takes over and how aptly so, the son of Razak himself. Razak's next generation.


Mahathir Mohammed after announcing his desire to quit, after crying together with Rafidah Aziz on stage (the famous picture taken at the famous UMNO general assembly in 2002, and after being persuaded to stay on for another eighteen months before handing over the reins of power to an ill prepared and less than suitable Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, had the Malaysians sighing a sigh of relief, because Abdullah who although not as dynamic and not so suitable was seen by Malaysians as a breath of fresh air and an end to a tyrannical reign), had made a pledge not to interfere with the running of the country by Abdullah. We all know what Mahathir's word is worth now.

This may go on to explain why Mahathir got rid of all succession in the cabinet, he wanted to ensure that Najib became PM, to do that he had to wipe out all credible successors.

A leader like Anwar would have "bunkused" the likes of Abdullah and Najib like he did the late Ghaffar Baba and Mahathir would have none of that, he had a need for Najib to take the seat, he wanted to continue to be in control.

After Abdullah's appointment as PM the tyranny of his (Mahathir's) rule would then be exposed in bits and pieces (Lingam case amongst others) and even whilst it was being exposed the tyrant arose and announced that he will not rest till he gets Badawi out of office, which he successfully did by his political maneuverings.

If the opposition fared well in the 2008 elections they must give a huge portion of that credit to Mahathir Mohammed who by then had successfully convinced a good portion of UMNO members that he Badawi was useless and that they had to go for the opposition.

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has to take a big part of that blame too, he failed to lock Mahathir up under the ISA. If it were Mahathir he would have done it to Badawi, but then Abdullah Ahmad Badawi lacked the ..... (Courage? no there is another word I am told it has something to do with tennis or for that matter any ball game).

After all the campaigning to get rid of Abdullah and instructing Najib to go for him and not getting a response from Najib in the process, the branded Najib a coward, and began soliciting others others in UMNO to do it. Now all of a sudden he has chosen to back Najibteh "coward", suddenly Najib is OK, remember he had planned for Najib to take over all the time, he had a plan, because he did claim that there was an "understanding that Najib would take over" which Abdullah denied.

Why Najib? Why was Najib singled out, anything could happen after Pak Lah, a good many other leaders could have emerged, why was Najib so important to him?

It goes back a long way, first it is a father and son issue, Razak gave Mahathir life, political life after the Tengku sacked him from UMNO, now Mahathir will give the same to Najib, not for free, not like Razak did for him, but in return for a lot of other issues too that is only privy to both Najib and Mahathir, after all this Mamak still controls all UMNO and we have seen how he does it. Right nowI am not sure if he is an UMNO member in the first place.

What happens after Najib? Is there to be a plan to ensure that the elite continue in a dynastic fashion, after all they are all lined up in the party right now, there is Hishamuddin Hussein the son of Hussein Onn and the grandson of Onn bin Jaafar, there is Mukhriz Mahathir, Harun Idris's children have all been taken out, Musa's are not there too, so it is going to be a "round robin" amongst the RazaKs, the Mahathirs, and Onn clan?

Right now Mahathir is the Godfather of the clan, and will this godfather run the country by proxy ...God forbid.

So Malaysians beware, if Mukhriz takes the UMNO youth post and Najib becomes PM, unless Najib can hold his own, which is very unlikely.

When Mahathir talks he reminds me of a saying behind a Septic Tank Truck, "Caution - This Truck is full of Political Promises."

For Najib to hold his own he has to come out and really clear his name, instead of keeping RPK locked up under the ISA he has to sue RPK for all its worth to prove that he has nothing to hide in the Altantuya case, because with that case hanging over him he really cannot be allowed to hold the post of Prime Minister of this country. The only other option left to him is to step down.

The name of the nation is sacred, the pride of the nation belongs to its people and this pride cannot be trampled upon neither can it seem to be trampled upon by anyone.


Frankly Xroy

Ps
I just remembered and am rather surprised that no one in the press or any politician for that matter has commented on this statement made by teh Sarawak Chief Minister as quoted in Malaysiakini,
'Taib’s initial reaction to the reports on the protest by the Kadayan-Malay landowners surprised many as he was quoted by local newspapers as saying then that if the landowners wanted to play rough with him, he was ready to do the same with them, adding that whether they liked it or not, here in Sarawak “I am the government”. '

if this is indeed what he said then may I add that this is what happens to those who stay in power for far too long as Mahathir did, and as Taib himself has done in Sarawak, they feel they own the Government and now it is manifested in Taib's statement. Correction Mr. Chief Minister You are only the Chief Minister and not the Government.
