CRACKDOWN: Najib's gamble with arrests of PR leaders may backfire; all eyes on KT rally

CRACKDOWN: Najib's gamble with arrests of PR leaders may backfire; all eyes on KT rally


Indeed, Najib's panicked response may have negative repercussions, said political observers. A snub by the public in coming out in full force to the KT rally and to another one in Malacca on Friday night would only reinforce the belief that he was on his last legs, politically weakened and unheeded by the people.
"Of course, in his panic, Najib might go overboard and order excessive violence against the people. If he does that, he kills himself even faster. He has painted himself into a corner. It is stupid to challenge and to try to make war on the people," was the wry comment from a seasoned political analyst.
