I was eating at a nasi kandar restaurant earlier in the evening when I saw the TV3's report that opposition leader DS Anwar Ibrahim was offering "proof" of wrong doings allegedly committed by former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin.
I find the whole thing as being so stupid.
TV3 and other mainstream media outlets have been going on and on about this for quite a while now.
A few days ago there was even a report by Utusan Malaysia of Umno supreme council member Datuk Mohd Puad Zarkashi attacking former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
That was not only stupid, but also disgusting.
Who is Puad to attack Dr Mahathir?
I don't even want to dirty my blog by putting the link to that story here.
Anyway, Dr Mahathir had replied to the attack in his blog,
POLITIK KELUARGA
If you want to know what I think of Puad and those who use him to issue such statements, read here,
Najib's people need to be smarter
For me, these are all so time and energy wasting.
Umno will in the end tear itself apart if this continues.
I don't think the party will survive the next general election (which is just less than three years from now), if Najib, as Umno president does not step in now and ends the fight.
Umno is no longer as strong as it used to be, to survive such an internal fight.
Nonetheless, my prediction is that, if both sides decide to go all the way and fight till the bitter end, Najib's forces will eventually win due to their control of many party divisions and the warlords.
But BN will definitely lose the next general election.
Umno will lose the crucial support of middle ground Malays who previously were with the establishment.
This group, I am sure will side with Dr Mahathir's forces.
They will get so disgusted with Umno, that even their dislike of Pakatan will not make them want to vote for BN ever again.
This was the same thing which sealed the fate of the Pak Lah's administration.
I am praying it will not come to that, but all indications are pointing that way.
The latest I heard was that there will be a reshuffle of personnel at the PMO with some good and loyal Najib people, who have been serving the PM for years to be ousted.
A new set of guys was said to be coming in to take up the important posts to be vacated by the good guys.
These new guys, I was told, are the ones behind the latest attacks against Najib's critiques such as Dr Mahathir and Daim.
Hopefully I got it wrong because if it's true, then Umno's fate is likely sealed.
Meanwhile, my suggestion for Najib to clean up the Umno headquarters as I wrote here....
Datuk Najib's next three months
....is not likely to happen.
My sources indicated that this posting by Shahbudin's blog was accurate,
Haru Betul...Bakal Setiausaha Kerja UMNO Diminta Jadi 'Protege' Terlebih Dahulu
Well, so much for all those talks about meremajakan dan membersihkan Umno.
Honestly, I am tired.
"'''meremajakan dan membersihkan Umno"'''
ReplyDeleteLets face it that will never happen, too many hands in the cookie jar.
Maybe just change of hands, nothing more.
Anon 2.17 - I strongly agree. Opposition is in disarray - just not in the headlines now, but the front has been broken in Selangor and East Malaysia and soon nationwide. This will mean that no matter what BN does, it (meaning UMNO and the East Malaysian BN parties) will advance in the next election. Najib knows this and can take the time now to deal with any opposition or pretenders within his own party and the wider government.
DeleteAll be warned, politics is not just about whacking the Opposition, its about whacking the opposition.
Anon 14:37
DeleteGotta agree with you on that. I feel that BN will maintain the Federal Government in GE14 with a simple majority (no such thing as 2/3 majority any more) but they might lose up to 3 states (Kedah, Perak & Terengganu) while keeping Johor with a much further reduced majority.
Selangor & Penang will be PR strongholds and Kelantan...well I pity Kelantan. The Kelantanese living and working there yearn for basic development but the problem lies with the ones working out of Kelantan and return back to their homeland and vote for PAS effectively stunting the development of the state. Kesian.
Just ignore kelantan n focus on d three states.
DeleteHi annie, Kan saya day cakap, Najib ni bodoh. Terlalu bodoh walaupun menjadi sebagai Setiausaha politik. Inikan pula sebagai perdana menteri!!!! For your info semua lantikan baru di PMO adalah di putuskan oleh RM, si Najib dunggu ni ikut saja. He's lost!!!! UMNO dah mati!

Annie,
ReplyDeleteI feel that we are only barking here and there,but for Najib it is business as usual,he knows bloody well the only body that chuck him out is UMNO MT,but it seemed they are all supporting him.My opinion of accusation that PMs wife is interfering the Admin of the nation is mere speculation and it was proven the character assassination is the most effective tools in political warfare.
I would like to briefly retrieve and in response to the notion of "transparency in good governance". A "crabby" thought to pounder to start with.
ReplyDeleteYang mana, Daim dan Anwar, dua kali lima sepuluh juga!
The fact is, demand for maximum transparency of good governance do not endure that business under financial capitalism is UGLY. Apparently, politics is dirty and no politician wants to omit it too.
However, this contravention is deemed for scrutinization referring to the two former Ministers of Finance.
Who are the crooked masters with great intelligence who masterminded and manipulated to hack into the complex financial institutions?
They, with motive, holding an executive talent and power are liable to do so. A craving desire for financial benefit is the driven motivation, a desire to directly undertake con assignments, practically resetting the financial transaction for their own good and purpose.
This indulgent practices occurred in all business enterprises and public services. Those windows of decision have been mended NOT for making correct decision, but at their best decision to score for financial gains. They are in minded for capital accumulation for financial profit while sitting in the position of power. A compelling principal is guarded for their survival of greeds otherwise assumed or at least in principle.
A fact, abide an irony of greeds have a spiral, thus cropping effects in their leadership inclusively to take its cause.
This strongly explains about how likelihood practice of good governance, accountability, transparency and follow the rule of law are bunches of illusionary ethics.
More than that, they bear the indifference not to let other participate in their decision making. They refrain the calls for transparency in good governance. In view, are they really responsible to the stakeholders and the institutions? An unprecedented crafty notion is portrayed.
It happen, the senders veiled to perceive quality informations, they supposedly to share but kept by their invisible hands. Presumedly, it was their in-house private policy, as defined concurrently to remove all barriers but disallowing transparency.
As a result, the structure of the economic and financial foundation have gone haywires.
They were called for accountability of corporate leadership but they abstained. The thoughtfulness for compassion is creeping in to represent grossed gesture. The environment of deceit has taken precedence. Proven to be doing schemes sorted for financial fraudulence.
The other capital factors from inception are incredibly coveted. It has an adjoining linked. It is unbearable to those who cares. The unethical behavior in business sector or in Pubic service, is rampant.
The spiral maneuvering started when Tun M appointed the two former Finance Ministers to take charge the house of Money. They both have been responsible to the financial processes that have caused to financially shatter. These financial fraudulences were made possible by Tun M's privatization policies then.
I think, open the old wounds by leadership are in the making politically.
Put your hand on your heart and sincerely and honestly ask your Conscience, what has Najib, UMNO, Barisan Nasional do for the RAKYAT (regardless of race and religion) in the past 20 years to improve living standards and steer the country towards prosperity and harmony? Why are we still harping about threats to Melayu and protecting Melayu? Melayu have been in control of the country since 1957, so what threats are there by the non-Melayu?
ReplyDeleteLooking at what Dap is doin in Penang is good enough for all malays bumi to reject Dap. Bfore we end up like those in Penang.
DeleteUngrateful prick!
Deleteannie i think it is not possible for the pm to not be aware of the attacks against tun daim and tun m. unless hes not reading the national newspaper, or the news. perhaps he just reads the star?
ReplyDeletesuch a clueless pm is not an option. but tht is giving him the benefit of the doubt.
i believe whtever attacks currently going on now have the green light and a go ahead from him.
his last meeting with tun m didnt turn out well. hence the attack. (at least thts how it sounded like reading a certain blog from a certain journalist)
anon 13.59,
as long as theres provocations againts the constitution. they really do play innocent do they? we might as well have a template answer ready because they never gonna get it and keep on asking like this.
I'm tired too, Annie, and that's why I've been 'quite' for some time now.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those 'middle ground Malays' and yes I got more fed-up with Najib after reading/listening to Utusan/TV3 about the attack on Dr.M and Naim.
I'm disgusted that now UMNO people and it's apparatus seem to have more faith in that serial lair Sodomist.
I guess, next GE if PAS is still with PR, there will be more independent candidates in Malay majority constituents.
As long as Pas with PR no vote for them. They cant do noting fot malays or muslim.
DeleteYou are good at spinning. You equit UMNO with malays and malays are UMNO but forgotten that PAS is also malay and so most of the members of PKR are malays too. Even if Pakatan were to won the election, it does not mean malays would not be controlled. Malays will always be in control as you can see the Selangor MB is a malay and will be always, so also is the PM a malay that is why they choose Anwar as the PM. I know you will not want to publish this because you are bias.
ReplyDeleteU are quite a spinner and get yourself dizzy,! PAS = Malay? Heck... Assabiyah... Haram. Masuk neraka.
DeleteAnd what we have in Selangor? Gambling places everwhere. Gangsters prostitutes everywhere. Yes we have MB malays that is no power.
DeleteNizar of Perak's PAS was malay too. But his balls was in Nga's & Ngeh's hands. Azmin? Hmm...
DeleteAgreed. So disgusted with UMNO. Let's go for PAS. See what happen.

haha fuck u ingrate. look at the arrogance. we do fine without u guys. whts more we dont need u here stupid ingrate. u do more harm then good. and just like anything else we best be rid of u before u become cancerous.

All the hypocritical Malays claiming that Malaysia will be fine and will be doing just as well without the "pendatangs" will also be the ones that will only go to a Chinese mechanic/foreman, contractor or an Indian doctor/lawyer. Why not use the Malay professionals?

ReplyDeleteThe tone of your comment sum it all..
ReplyDeleteTun Daim memiliki kekayaan MELAMPAU dan SOALnya dari mana datangnya sumber kekayaan beliau? Akhir tahun 1969 selepas Peristiwa 13 Mei , Daim bersara drp dunia guaman buat selama-lamanya,bekerjasama dgn Low Kiok Boo &n Thamby Chik buka bisnes garam, tapi kurang ilmu DAIM GAGAL.Daim buka pula bisnes buat plastik &n alami kerugian kerosakan jentera akibat mogok yang dilancarkan oleh pekerja yang tidak puas hati. Kilang terpaksa ditutup dan pinjaman permulaan yang tidak berbayar daripada Bank Bumiputera dengan ugutan untuk mengisytiharkan Daim muflis.DAIM GAGAL LAGI.
ReplyDeletePada tahun 1971, Daim buka Syarikat Maluri Sdn Bhd. Menjelang awal 1970, Daim baru tahu cara yang mudah dan cepat untuk menjadi tokoh peniagaan Malaysia ialah mendapatkan kontrak perniagaan yang sudah pasti dalam genggaman melalui jaringan politik. Daim telah membeli tanah lombong di sekitar Maluri drp kerajaan dengan harga yang sangat murah dan membangunkan kawasan tersebut dan sebahagian di jual kpd Kerajaan. DAIM MULA BERJAYA.
PD tahun 1979 bila dia membeli Malaysian French Bank. 1984, ambil alih United Malayan Banking Corporation Bhd dan sempena perlantikkan sebagai Menteri Kewangan pada tahun yang sama Daim menjual kembali saham perbankan tersebut. Sebelum bersara, Daim Zainuddin membeli saham dalam Hock Hua Bank (Sabah) Bhd pd 1997 dan sekali lagi menjual kepentingan di dalam bank selepas sekali lagi dilantik menjadi Menteri Kewangan.
Pada 1997, Langkah Bahagia membeli saham di dalam Hock Hua Bank (Sabah). Mohd Nasir Ali umum beliau bertindak bagi pihak Daim. Hock Hua Bank ditukar nama jadi International Bank Malaysia Berhad dan digabungkan bersama Multi-Purpose Bank serta enam lagi syarikat kewangan untuk menjadi AFG.
Setelah ditamatkan riwayat sebagai Menteri Kewangan, dikhabarkan, Daim telah membawa sejumlah Wang yang disimpan diluar negara PULUHAN BILLION US DOLLAR dan melabur di dalam sektor perbankan. Daim dikatakan memiliki International Bank of Commerce (ICB) 59 cawangan di Indonesia, 23 cawangan di Africa dan 9 cawangan di Eastern Europe. Daim menguasai ICB Financial Group Holdings Ltd. (ICB) memiliki dan menguruskan bank komersial di 12 buah negara termasuk di Asia, Afrika dan Eropah Timur. Daim kini memiliki sebanyak 151,844,00 unit saham dalam ICB yang mewakili kepentingan 84.4 peratus.
Mungkin DS Anwar berkata benar BUAT PERTAMA KALINYA (Sebelum beliau dihumban ke Penjara). Dari mana Daim mendapat PULUHAN BILLION US DOLLAR? Tun Daim "the small man" juga dikenali sebagai Pembuli Pasaran Kewangan bilamana Bank Negara mengasak hampir kesemua matawang di pasaran kewangan antarabangsa di antaranya Pound Sterling, US Dollar dsbnya. Lim Kit Siang telah membawa permainan buli matawang oleh Bank Negara sewaktu Daim menjadi Menteri Kewangan di Parlimen - tetapi dijawab dan diSELINDUNGKAN oleh DS Anwar sebagai TIADA APA PERUBAHAN ASET BANK NEGARA. Mungkinkah sewaktu itu DS Anwar tidak tahu atau sama-sama mencuba menaruh harapan akan wang gelap pasaran kewangan dikongsi bersama? Apakah DS Anwar dituduh meliwat kerana Daim tidak mahu berkongsi wang gelap hasi drp buli pasaran matawang?
Jika sekiranya Daim memiliki Bank dan kepentingan besar dalam Industri perbankkan ICB, Tun Mahathir juga memiliki Bank di Guam. Tapi tak banyak yang mengetahui Kekayaan Tun Mahathir berganda-ganda drp Daim yang sebhg dilaburkan kembali di Malaysia. Macammana anank-anak Tun Mahathir semuanya kaya raya? sebut saja Mokhzani...Tokey Minyak, Mukhriz..laa pon Tokey Judi, Kapal, Arak dan Minyak, Mukhriz Tokey Fibre optik? Cuma Marina Mahathir miskin papa kedana kerana selalu lawan Tun Mahathir, jadi dia tak dapat apa2..nak kahwin jadi bini no. 2 Nazri Aziz pon Tun M larang...kesiannya Marina...sampai matilah melawan Bapak?
Apakah Kekayaan Melampau Tun Daim dan Tun Mahathir ini sebenarnya Wang Rakyat yang dirompak keluar oleh kedua2 Tokoh Negarawan yang merupakan Lanun dan Perompak yg Merompak melaui batasan? Adalah diharap DS Anwar mampu mencerahkan suasanan dengan penyerahan bukti-bukti?
Jika apa yang anda laporkan ini benar anda mungkin boleh di gelar seorang wira kerana berani berkata benar tetapi srkiranya berita ini hanya satu cerita yang tidak pasti asal usul dan kesahihannya, anda akan menangung dosage.
DeleteApa yang Anon 06:57 kata itu amat benar sekali. Kalau betul pun Daim lakukannya ( saya yakin tidak ) bahlol sangat ke Daim untuk orang mengetahui semua asset dan tahu di mana benda itu berada, sebagai pendedahan yang dilakukan oleh Anon 00:40.
DeleteBagaimana pula dengan Anwar? Mungkin dia sekaya atau lebih kaya dari Daim dan TDM . Tengok life style dia. Beberapa tahun merengkok dalam penjara dan setahu saya dia penggangur terhormat. Macam mana dia boleh membayai perjalanannya keliling dunia? Dia berkeliling dunia selalu dilakukannya. Kadang kadang siap bawa isteri dan anak pinak sekali? Mungkin dibiaai oleh PKR atau DAP. DAP parti Cina tentu banyak duit!
Lekeh sangat ke orang Melayu ( contohnya Daim ) sehingga untuk menjadi kaya terpaksa menggunakan cara yang salah?
Janganlah menghina usahawan melayu yang berjalan. Walaupun mereka menggunajan bantuan politik untuk naik, tetapi untuk kekal di atas memerlukan kebijaksanaan mengurus. Kalau bangsa lain boleh maju dengan cara mereka yang tak pasti halal haram atau menekan, mengapa tidak di persoal. Melayu kena keluar dari kepompong hasad dengki dan iri hati yang tak bertempat.
