Najib owes the rakyat answers

Najib owes the rakyat answersRelying on the police and not the military was Najib’s biggest mistake in tackling the issue. Not giving the intrusion priority and treating it as an internal affair was his next mistake.
Ironically, for a premier who made “People First, Performance Now” as his mantra, Najib’s incapable salvoes fired bear proof he is the real culprit behind the Lahad Datu tragedy.
Najib made the mistake no leader can afford to make – he compromised the nation’s safety, taking it for granted, leading to the Lahad Datu bloodshed.

Pakatan Rakyat to focus on 15 Parliamentary seats in Johore in 13GE to end Johor’s “fixed deposit state” status for UMNO/Barisan Nasional and to pave the way for PR to Putrajaya

By focussing on 15 parliamentary seats in Johor, I am not saying that PR is sure to win everyone of them.
If PR can win over one-third of the parliamentary seats, i.e. at least 10 out of the 26 parliamentary seats in the state, together with at least one-third of the parliamentary seats in Sabah and Sarawak, then PR is well on the way to Putrajaya to form the next Federal Government of Malaysia Pakatan Rakyat to focus on 15 Parliamentary seats in Johore in 13GE to end Johor’s “fixed deposit state” status for UMNO/Barisan Nasional and to pave the way for PR to Putrajaya

M’sian Armed Forces versus Sulu gunmen in Sabah: Lessons for S’pore

M’sian Armed Forces versus Sulu gunmen in Sabah: Lessons for S’poreWhile it is early days yet before defence observers can compile a credible blow by blow account of the assault, here are some preliminary thoughts on the situation:

Intrusion confusion – A farcical invasion of Borneo gets serious, and nasty

Intrusion confusion – A farcical invasion of Borneo gets serious, and nastyIt will also wonder how the stand-off will affect a keenly contested general election due by the end of June. Some think Sabah is where the poll will be won or lost. The government has dropped dark hints of the involvement of a Malaysian opposition leader in the invasion. But, if the mess worsens, it might lose votes itself.

34-Day Countdown to 13GE – Call on Malaysians to complete “unfinished business” of “308 political tsunami” five years ago by electing a new Malaysian Government and new Prime Minister in Putrajaya in 13GE

Before “308” five years ago, nobody dared to hope or think that the Malaysian political landscape could undergo a paradigm shift through the peaceful and democratic process that the prospect of a new Federal Government and a new Prime Minister for the first time in five decades of the nation’s history is dreamable, possible, do-able and achievable!
34-Day Countdown to 13GE – Call on Malaysians to complete “unfinished business” of “308 political tsunami” five years ago by electing a new Malaysian Government and new Prime Minister in Putrajaya in 13GE

"308" 5th. Year Anniversary

5 years ago, today, the "Tsunami" swept across Malaysia and brought new hope for many.k
It also caused an unforgettable blow to BN 50 years of rule.
BN not only lost 2/3 Parliament majority, 5 states government and many heavy weight leaders were all swept away.

Even the Federal Territory's 11 Parliament seats. BN could only save 1 seat.

BN 4 ministers, 11 deputy ministers and 7 secretaries got "beheaded".

Some BN candidates even though they won, their majorities were "very close shave"; spoilt votes that represent people dissatisfaction were 321,885, they were 27,827 more as compared to 2004.

PENANG Gerakan and MCA lost all
Gerakan based in Penang and Chinese based MCA were wiped off in Penang. Perak, Selangor, Kedah collapsed. They were unsuccessful in snatching Kelantan back.

BN retained 140 Parliament seats, Pakatan 82 seats which is broke the minimal 75 seats to deny BN 2/3 majority, which is as good as taken away BN's 1/2 an empire.

Gerakan contested in 12 Parliament 31 state seats, only won 2 Parliament 4 states; MCA in 40 Parliament 90 states, only got 15 Parliament 31 states.

What do you think this time round?

Will Gerakan and MCA BE TOTALLY "annihilated" !?

What about UMNO.

If, only if there is equal playing field BN/Umno would be long gone.
This 13th GE may be their Waterloo.

PM Najib the Champion of them all

The first one to drag a protracted term beyond 5 years.
Is he also the last?
Fulfilling the R-A-H-M-A-Najib's prophecy?

PM Najib is expected to dissolve the Parliament any day for the next 10 working days (i.e. 4 to 14 March) if we assume that he likes to have the election on Saturday 30th March which falls on School Holidays.

If he still drags on and on, he can...that means any day till 27th April.
After which it will be dissolved automatically.

If that happens the latest date for election will be in June.
This is not unlikely too since he most likely may not be the PM after the election.
(If you were him, will you not sit on a few more months as the PM since after that you would no longer be the PM? I would!)

This latter possibility is not unlikely in view of the recent floods in the northern states and the deaths caused by armed intruders in Lahad Datu, Sabah.

The window of time is closing down on Najib who missed the opportunity to call for election last year.

Why all the delay?
Before we answer this question,
let's consider the following:

In retrospect, PM Najib would have done better if he had called the election soon after he took over from Tun Abdullah. Newness is usually accorded with "Honeymoon " effect.

Just like Tun Abdullah who called for an early election in 2004 soon after taking over from Dr. Mahathir. Tun Abdullah did brilliantly in 2004.
Do you think PM Najib would had done well too, soon after taking over from Tun Abdullah?

I think so.

Now, let's get back to the delay.
Why?

Mainly due to the internal fighting within Umno.

Apart from that,
he also has to contend with his position in Umno after the election.

The de facto Umno head, Dr. Mahathir had spoken up openly if Najib cannot win back the 2 thirds majority, he will have to step down for Muhiddin.


From precedences set before : if he does no better he has to step down just as Tunku Abdul Rahman, Hussein Onn and Abdullah did.

Of course there are many other issues like the Cows fiasco, Corruption, Security and also the strong opposition wind in the forms of many protests and rallies that has caused him to keep dragging on and on and on.

The longer he waits, the worst it's going to be for him, I foresee.

Will he break another record, that is, will he be the last Umno president to be the PM, in fulfilment of the RAHMAN prophecy?

My guess will be ...yes!

What do you think?
