Chaotic time for politicians

Kadayan Monitor

What a chaotic time for politicians in the Peninsula, no matter how the mainstream media including the TVs want to play it down, the internet media is giving shoot after shoot.

This can’t be dismissed outright for reason only news mongering, after all, it has proven to certain degree of truth.

For example, it is true that Tun Dr Mahathir wants Datuk Abdullah Badawi to resign. The former is also not in favour of Datuk Najib Tun Abd Rajak to become the next Prime Minister either.

Reading between the lines he, Tun Mahathir doesn’t mind Tengku Razaligh or Datuk Muhiddin Yassin.

Whilst others argued, or even accused that Tun Mahathir is senile, if not snide, when it was him who appointed Abdullah Badawi to be his successor, now Tun Mahathir is sounding like a hyena. It doesn’t sound right for a country which has been very conscious of its Asian's culture, perceived on high moral and religious conscientiousness.

Must there be other views? Ahaa!... if you don’t care, then this kind of news item shouldn’t bother anyone anymore but proceed, because life must go on.

Another truth, even UMNO members want the Prime Minster to resign and as indicated by hanging banners. I saw these were done not by opposition party members but by UMNO members. I also saw a spray painted graffiti “Pak Lah you resign” on the wall, PM's home ground, visible by the road side in Penang on the way to Bayan Lepas.

Now let say what happen across the South China Sea, Borneo Malaysia, I said earlier it has been quiet, as if Taib Mahmud and Musa Aman are karaokeeing in comfortable zones. Are the two in full control of the ships? Won’t there be any one wants to disturb the hornet’s nest?

Are you sure, thereby live the two darlings, happily ever after and good night after watching Manhester United's match in a flat screen, or do they?

Only today MP from Kinabatangan, Bung Moktar Radin slammed Yahya Hussin, the Sabah UMNO Liasion Secretary and said, “Who is Yahya anyway? And why is he worried”

This was Bung Moktar response to a reporter who asked him about their meeting with the Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi on the 29th March at PM office in Putrajaya.

Six of Sabah politicians including former CM Datuk Salleh Tun Said Keruak, MP Ghapur Salleh, State Assemblyman- Datuk Rahim Ismail, Tan Sri Pendikar Amin and former Deputy Speaker of Parliament Datuk Dr Yussof Yacob,and MP Bung Moktar visited PM.

They said they were invited by the PM.

The issue out of the visit was if they, the six of Sabah UMNO heavy weight were representing UMNO Sabah?

Yahya Hussin said no, they are not.

The six of them also said, no they are not, they did it as personal capacity.

It doesn’t sound complicated, does it?

My view is, if you people want to make something happen you must keep doing it.

Below is what some UMNO leaders were saying in Peninsula with regard to Sabah quote:

If BN does not act, they stand to lose not just the support of urbanites who are unhappy with the way the NEP is being administered, but also supporters in its stronghold, East Malaysia.

Said Mr Tawfik: "The people in Sabah and Sarawak have not been brought into the mainstream as far as economic development is concerned. There seems to be a lot of displaced people in the tribes of Sarawak.

"BN must take a close look at these people or they might vote for the opposition the next time."
