Igp Trip Ph Quarrel Erupt And Glc Purge To Come

---

The Istanbul trip by IGP, Dato Fuzi Harun was exposed by Sarawak Report to be an office holiday trip, but it was a working visit arranged by National Totalisator Board (NTB) on matters regarding online illegal gambling.

As soon as the story broke out, unqualified Accountant and failed Economist Lim Guan Eng sprang into defensive mode. Whether he is telling the truth or usually lying, he told MMO that Treasury did not pay for it and claimed Ananda Krishnan's number forecasting Da Ma Cai operation paid the trip.

What he is saying is Treasury refused to pay for the trip and he requested NTB to arrange Da Ma Cai to sponsor. Sabahkini2 has similar view. As one owner of a gambling license said, a Minister's request is as good as an order and they will have to secede.

Dato Dr Asyraff Wajidi was angered by Guan Eng's insensitivity. However, there is political implication behind the facade of a typical Guan Eng's lack of familiarity with proper administrative practise.

Blogger Flying Kick see it as DAP's first salvo against Tun Dr Mahathir for turning on his word and accept 7 UMNO MPs into PPBM.

The jump is Mahathir's "old game" and player within expected move, commented Dato Dr Jamil Khir. This time DAP and PKR has lost their level of tolerance. Ronnie Liew statement is reflective of Lim Kit Siang.

Putting Ananda's company in the spotlight is symbolic.

Anwar had enough

For Anwar, he had enough and made his move.

In a firm reaction to rumours of Azmin to be appointed DPM after Chinese New Year and exclusion of himself or his wife from the NEAC 2.0, Anwar said he expect to takeover within 2 years.

The rumour that have long been floating and this blog have mentioned several time is that he wants it as soon as March or expect a vote of no confidence by the next Parliament seating. The Speaker of the House is allied with DAP.

Azmin have been given the ultimatum to bring back all the MPs back to PKR. A source claimed he may have wavered when told Mahathir's days on earth is numbered. Many sources have been talking about Mahathir needing frequent hormone injections to keep going.

No one realised the significance in the presence of Shamsul Iskandar during Anwar and Wan Azizah's visit of Azmin at the hospital.

As for DAP, there have not been satisfied with the GLC appointments at GLCs and voices are calling for reform. All targeting Tun Daim.

The announcement of NEAC 2.0 and Debt Rationalisation Committee by PMO may not have been accepted well.

The hands of  Daim orchestrating through his fourth wife's brother is obvious. The economist have been getting too much publicity and position for a one research sensation.

Mahathir is increasingly seen by PKR and DAP to have no interest to pursue the path of reform and remained in his old ways.

It means if war erupts within PH, the purgerors in GLCs can only expect a reversal of roles and possibly face retribution for showing their true colours.

The position of AMANAH is a toss-up. The Mahathir watcher see them siding with his Mahathir-Azmin tagteam. Mat Sabu's diplomatic words on the acceptance of the 7 UMNO MPs would support their view. More so, Mahathir have given their elected MPs Ministerial position at the expense of PKR.

In private, Mat Sabu have been expressing personal reservation of Azmin for many years. He has shunned Mat Sabu in his later years as Selangor MB. Azmin's refusal to remove PAS from Selangor's Pakatan Rakyat government remained a sore point.

Mahathir has ignored Warisan to say PPBM do not need the permission of a Shafee Apdal or Shafee Abdullah to enter Sabah. He is ready to pee on Shafee. 

The straw that broke Muhyiddin's back?

Muhyiddin said on December 28th that there have been no discussion in PPBM meeting in accepting the 7 UMNO MPs. Suddenly, the announced acceptance and a ceremony to provide their membership cards. 

Guan Eng's expose of Da Ma Cai paying for Fuzis trip is seen as an attack on Mahathir, While, the expose by Sarawak Report of Fuzi's trip could be seen as an attack on Muhyiddin. He approved Fuzi's trip!

It is believed that  Clare Rewcastle is on Mahathir's payroll and close with Dato Khairuddin Abu Hassan, a confidante of Mahathir. Muhyiddin could interpret it as the high level game leading to his ouster.

Talk within PPBM is that his Presidency could be challenged following rumoured challenge on Mukhriz by a cabinet member. The expose on Marzuki's non-Cambridge degree is claimed to have come from the Mukhriz camp for swinging to Muhyiddin side following appointment as Secretary General.

Marzuki maybe eyeing a position in which Mukhriz has interest too. Though Marzuki left his fate with Mahathir, it was Muhyiddin who announce no action will be taken. 

The move to take in UMNO MPs is really necessary for PPBM. They have no depth and need outsiders to fill up various positions. Apparently, the recently joined Mas Ermieyati would be tasked the head of Srikandi of PPBM.

Dissolve of Parliament

Anwar believes he has the numbers and insisted the meeting of the Council of Presidents to be called immediately. A heated meeting is expected.

If there is no solution, it will lead to a motion of no confidence against Mahathir in Parliament and it could go either way. UMNO votes matters.

Lim Kit Siang has said before that DAP will leave, if PH astrayed from the reform agenda. Mahathir could foresee a vote of no confidence when he said, "If DAP, PKR, AMANAH, betrayed him ... he will leave."



It is no Mahathir to only leave it to fate. He has the option of combining with UMNO and PAS coalition, but he is too proud.

Mahathir directed Dato Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to disband UMNO but he could not live to do it.

the numbers could The   

new month at the be ANwar ps accep. call for Guan Eng's He has unconsciously escalated tension within PH into an all out political war.

Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim has begin to make his move to show If there is no solution There are sufficient signals to show of a possible break-up of PH and a snap general election will be called. Not too far in the horizon, the purgerors in GLCs and financial and non-financial institutions like Tabung Haji will get purged.

Those behaving inappropriately and showing their true colours could only expect retribution.


The trip by Fuzi was an official trip and not sponsored. However, it is not paid by PDRM.

The need for extensive participation maybe beyond police budget aka Putrajaya aka Treasury, but the Totalisator Board of Malaysia saw it's importance and decided to fund them.

They say there are not many honest cop. If there is one, it would be this former SB Director General and chief terrorism fighter is one. Those invited to his daughter's wedding recently could attest to it.





There have been talk and even viral messages creating the perception that Mahathir is talking of UMNO 3.0 and some blogger were writing about back channel discussion between Najib's men and Mahathir's men

It is unlikely to happen. Too soon for Mahathir to patch up with Najib. Muhyiddin will not be keen to. Not when the court process is facing to many hitches as it is not him to negotiate from an uncertain position. 
There is one possibility and that is the impossible term that there is no Rosmah. Nevertheless, Mahathir will not go back on his words to go into a coalition with UMNO after asking Zahid Hamidi to close up the party.

More so, UMNO is now in cooperation with PAS. He has a lifelong allergy with PAS since the lost at Kota Setar in 1969. 
Rather than give power to Anwar Ibrahim or return owner to UMNO, he would rather dissolve Parliament and que sera sera. UMNO and PAS could turn many seats around but the hold on government is uncertain.

This time there will be a jet ready for Buenos Aires at tarmac during the announcement of GE15 results. All parties may just unite to say enough with Mahathir

After all the purging at the GLCs to appease Mahathir and Daim, the position of the new management and members of the Board of Directors will be in limbo.

In organisations such as Tabung Haji, Felda and Khazanah where the removal have been swift, vengeful and bordering on illogical, anything could happen. The victims could even return to prey. That is another side to the politics
