All they could do was to speculate about it.
No one I know could say for sure what's really happening.
Maybe today there will be some proper explaination, but I don't think that would be enough to quell the rumours.
People nowadays simply refuse to believe in political announcements.
They always want to know what they believe was the real story behind such announcements.
Honestly, I'm also not sure what's happening.
And as the others, all I can do is to speculate.
I don't really like doing that but it's all I could offer a friend who asked my opinion about it yesterday evening.
These are what I told my friend,
- PM DS Najib Razak is promoting Hishammuddin ahead of his deputy DS Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
- Hishammuddin will play a more important role in his new capacity than Zahid in preparations for the next general election.
- General election is very near. Maybe between September and December.
- Hishammuddin will be Najib's successor...maybe later, if not now.
- Najib must had felt that Hishammuddin is a better bet for him than Zahid.
- Definitely not a very good news for Zahid's camp.
- Zahid will not protest this move. He can't, even if he wants to because he simply doesn't have the capacity. He's outgunned.
Then again, I'm merely speculating.
Told my friend, who is a hardcore Umno member that it's just coffee shop talk.
Just gossips.
I really got no special interest in it.
I don't mind both guys. Doesn't matter to me who between Zahid and Hishammuddin will be on top,
It's not going to change my life, anyway.
Well, that's about it.
Getting up for work.
Have a good day.
Sebenarnya... saya tak kisah sangat pun... jika ciri-ciri atau identity Melayu mahu dihapuskan pada duit-syiling.
ReplyDeleteMasaalahnya... mengapa dibuat secara diam-diam atau stealthily... sama seperti Kerajaan menghantar Tentera ke Arab Saudi?
Sama seperti berhutang tubuh 1MDB dan guna Jho Low sebagai orang-tengah, tanpa dibawa berbincang dalam Kabinet.
Sepatutnya, sebelum membuat keputusan untuk design duit syiling-baru, Kerajaan mesti bersikap jujur & berterus-terang dengan Rakyat.
Hebahkan melalui RTM & TV3... Contohnya... 'Demi menepati slogan 1Malaysia, Kabinet telah membuat keputusan untuk mengeluarkan syiling-baru yang bermotifkan Masyarakat berbilang Bangsa di NegaraKu ini. Selain dari motif Melayu, alat-alat musik ethnic pribumi di Semenanjong, Sabah & Sarawak (Sape, sompoton dll.), Tarian Naga Cina (chopstick, Cheongsam dll.), alat-alat musik India (sitar, kavadi dll.) akan menjadi ilham... sekian, harap maklum. Satuuu Malaysia'
Malangnya, pengunaan hari pertama duit-syiling keEmasan ciptaan Najib menjadi kecoh & kelam-kabut kerana mesin Vending & ticketing tidak dapat mengenal-pasti antara syiling lama & baru. Lebih malang lagi... ia langsung tidak mencerminkan kemajmukan masyarakat 1Malaysia. Malah... terdapat corak seolah-olah Bintang-5 Komunis China & Vietnam.
Sebab itu... di FB... ada yang berangappan bahawa tujuan dihasilkan duit syiling-baru itu adalah supaya kroni atau diri sendiri perolehi komisen dari upah design, consultancy & moulding.
Sama seperti Bekas-Presiden MCA, DS Ong Ka Ting yang di lantik sebagai Duta Khas ke China, bila kita sudah ada Wakil disana... Perlantikan DS Hishammuddin Hussein sebagai Menteri Tugas-tugas Khas JPN juga amat pelik dan terdedah kepada berbagai spekulasi.
Tidakkah ia akan membazirkan lebih banyak lagi, WANG Rakyat?
Adakah DS Hisham akan diberi elaun-lebih kerana beban tugas yang lebih itu?
Adakah DS Hisham akan buka pejabat di Riyadh untuk evacuate Pelajar Malaysia dari Negara Arab bergolak seperti Mesir & Yemen atau... untuk 'menolong' Arab Saudi 'membunuh' lebih ramai Rakyat Syiah-Houthi di Yemen yang dibantu Syiah-Iran?
Ataupun, sebagai sepupu kepada Najib, Hisham lebih dipercayai dari Zahid untuk mewakili beliau di forum-forum antarabangsa?
Maklumlah, scandal 1MDB-Jho Low telah menyebabkan PM NegaraKu menjadi kera-sumbang di Negara Kapir seperti Singapura, Switzerland & US dan terpaksa mengelak dari terserempak dengan pemberita2 Omputih dari WSJ, NYT dan lain-lain?

ReplyDelete.....especially when it comes out from MO1 or Keruak...Dahlan...
Pandikar...Ass-alina...Hadi Bawang...etc...
"I don't mind both guys. Doesn't matter to me who between Zahid and Hishammuddin will be on top",
I believe the rakyat not only does not want both of them in fact
the whole of BN will be voted out by the majority rakyat...deep
inside you know BN will fall come this PRU 14.
Yup...lets have a good day! I too dont mind boths guy.Every which way Umno/Bn still win.As long as it is not from the oppotoon...i bet our life will go on as usual...kih kih kih
ReplyDeleteI dont want either of them
Deletehave a good day
politic is not black and white, what u say or do need to be properly crafted and so what muhidin did when he oppose najib was a suicidal action, zahid on the other hand was making the smart move.
ReplyDeletewell
all of that are bullshits. u can play politic for some trivial stuff.
but when the country in danger, a leader should speaks the truth and act upon it.
since neither muhidin nor zahid did speak up to their boss when peoples money being stolen, neither is in my good book.
might as well change the whole government and take chance the new leadership. as far as im concern the whole party is beyond redemption.
correction: neither hishamuddin nor zahid

Delete"And do not mix up truth with falsehood nor ever conceal the truth while you know [it]." [Quran 2:42]
Hypocrites are liars too, because they lie to themselves. Allah says about hypocrites: "Their hearts are (wilfully) diseased, so Allah increases their discomfort; and for them is a painful punishment because they habitually lie." [
Quran 2:10]
Allah also addressed Muhammad (may Allah exalt and bless him): "... Allah testifies that you are His Messenger, and Allah testifies that the hypocrites are liars." [Quran 63:1]

H2O is a good choice to take the realm from Najib.He carries himself well and is proficient in English. He comes from a lineage who were instrumental in the formation of UMNO. Right pedigree.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine Zahid at world stage? I bet even he did not understand what he was talking about during his UN speech.
Furthermore, he is a 1st generation Jawanese immigrant so his loyalty to this country can be shaky. Even his daughter in law is from Jawa, pompuan di Malaysia dah habis ke yang dia nak pi cari menantu kat Jawa.
H2O as the PM and KJ as his DPM will be a good team. Well done Najib.
As for Zahid, he never had the backbone to make any stand, always opportunistic,so padan muka.
Najib should send him to Indonesia as an ambassodor so he feels at home and can be close to his besan.
I like Zahid. My father Jawa too.
DeleteI dun like Najib. My father bugis.
DeleteI don't want a thug to be my PM no matter what the ethnicity or pedigree.

Smart and brilliant Najib. Election coming. Machinery activate. H2O trusted buddy will run, administer and monitor the shop in Putrajaya. No loop hole. What a stupid pakatan brain.
ReplyDeleteYou think Jho Low and his Billionaire family members in DAP's Pulau Pinang, will vote for BN and UMNO-Najib?
DeleteWho knows... Jho Low might be DAP's agent... implanted by that so called 'stupid Pakatan brain' to smear UMNO's reputation and reap monetary gains for himself, at the same time.
It was Jho Low who once said that UMNO goons are master of spinning lies.
Zahid should leave that sepupu dumno gang & join muhyiddin...
ReplyDeleteThis is a result when the so called leader are too afraid to contest in level playing field.They are afraid to contest or even have Pemilihan for President and Deputy President because they know in reality they have no supporter that honestly want to vote them for the post.
ReplyDeleteThe way I see it, Hishamuddin is being primed to take over as DPM if and when Zahid becomes PM.
ReplyDeleteI happen to believe the theory that there is a pact, sealed in Mecca during an umrah by Najib, Zahid and Hishammudin, about succession within UMNO.

With the ineptness of the government over the last few years - letting the coffers run low - taxation on the unsuspecting rakyat is edging up.
ReplyDeleteQuality of live is deprecating before we reach middle income.
The world of finance is complex - the shenanigans done by those in power- largely in equatable by the Raykat as root cause to their increasingly spartan livelihoods.
The rural voters can be bought off in short term by study trips to Australia, umrah etc -- when the goodies pipeline slows done, assuming religion and race politicking do not rear its ugly head - there may be opportunities for me blood at the helm that has the Rakyats long term benefits as it's core mission.
Buy on rumours sell on confirmation.
ReplyDeleteRPK probably reads your blog and all the associated comments, Annie.
ReplyDeleteFrom my comment on 14 April 2017 at 22:10, I said,
"The way I see it, Hishamuddin is being primed to take over as DPM if and when Zahid becomes PM."
Today, 18th April, RPK writes an article, "Mahatir is second fiddle to Kit Siang"
http://www.malaysia-today.net/mahathir-is-second-fiddle-to-kit-siang/
where he says,
"The 1-2-3 formula: Hishammuddin, the next Deputy Prime Minister when Zahid takes over as Prime Minister
What Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak was trying to achieve is to establish the line of succession. Najib’s message is: after him comes Ahmad Zahid Hamidi followed by Hishammuddin."
Must be very gratifying to you that RPK has an interest in what you write.
