Mutiny in Kedah
Some people
asked me about what is happening in Kedah. Mutinous UMNO division heads or their deputies
held a press conference to declare they have lost confidence in Mukhriz
Mahathir. They urged UMNO to intervene and dismiss Mukhriz Mahathir.
It is a mutiny. To me, they are
doing this because Najib asked them to. Nothing moves without the endorsement
from the 2.6 billionaire. After this he will instruct the UMNO state assembly
members to do the same.
Obviously they don’t
have the support of the UMNO aduns as the moment. As someone observed, that is
why they went to the press to announce a for
the public consumption political lynching.
First UMNO will
dismiss Mukhriz as Ketua Perhubungan. Then ask the UMNO state assembly members
to abandon Muhriz.
UMNO can inflict
harm on Mukhriz in his capacity as Ketua Perhubungan UMNO. It is a party
position. The MB on the other hand, is chosen as he has the majority support in
the state assembly. If Kedah UMNO wants
to remove Mukhriz as MB, they can pay state assembly members to cross over to join
UMNO state assembly members (sams) and remove Mukhriz. In this case,they can
ignore the opposition sams because UMNO already has the majority.
They can reject
Mukriz’s claims that he is MB of the people. Mukriz's statement to that effect has no relevance at the moment. The people elected him as a state
assembly member. Sams from his party
chose him to be MB. They are also the same who can remove him. They must state their
preference in a session of the state assembly.
What UMNO does to
its own ought not to be our concern. It’s
an UMNO party internal affair. The practice of political cannibalism within
UMNO is a normal affair. It’s all in a day’s work.
Suppose all the
192 UMNO division heads in Malaysia convened a press conference and announced
they have lost confidence in Najib. What would Najib do?
Do nothing. He can
only be removed when it can be shown that he has lost support of the majority in
Parliament.
He will do the same
thing as he normally does, burry his head in the sand and does the wise monkey
routine- hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil. He will pay those dissenters
money. That’s UMNO’s weakness.
The 1000-strong supporters
who gathered at the sate UMNO building in Alor star, is merely doing a counter
measure. They don’t have to waste their time. They are better off meeting their
state assembly members and warn them if they don’t support MUkhriz, they will not
elect them in the next elections.
The people
asking Mukhriz to go and they must be state assembly members, will have to convene
the state assembly and produce evidence that Mukhriz has lost the confidence of
the majority in the state assembly. If they can produce that evidence, and the
speaker announces that it is so, then the chief plotter will seek audience with
the Kedah Sultan to ask for the dismissal of Mukhriz Mahathir.
Or, the chief
plotter can secure signed petitions of those who want Mukhriz out, gather the
signed documents and go before the king. If the King is satisfied as in the
Perak case many years ago, that Mukhriz son of Mahathir has lost it, then
without even calling for the SA to convene can consent to the removal of
Mukhriz.
If Mukhriz wants
to stay in power as MB, what can he do? Up the ante on Najib.
He and a few others team up with people from
the opposition (ignore who they are) and form a new state government. He will
then produce evidence that he and others command the majority in the SA. After he becomes MB on a coalition ticket, do a purge. Appoint new excos and provide allocations.
Mukriz remains
as MB on a coalition and at the same time strike at Najib. Najib will lose
Kedah.
No one in their right
thinking frame of mind would ever believe that what’s happening to Kedah now
had no blessings from Najib. Nothing moves in a heavily patronized UMNO without
the nod from the Commandeer-in Chief. The
stone thrower hides his hands behind his back.
Everyone knows who he is. This latest amateurish move by Najib will only motivate Dr Mahathir.

I love what is going on in UMNO. One can argue that Najib should not open another war front when there is a fierce battle in his own backyard. But he has to do his last act - he is a sore loser throwing sand at his adversary's assets before riding into the sun set. And that sunset is Sungai Buloh.
MM should just have an audience with the Sultan and inform him of the latest development, and advice the Sultan to consent to the dissolution of the state assembly and go for a new state election.
In the election, I believe BN will be soundly defeated, with the help of some very strong and well respected past leader of UMNO campaigning for MM. Past leaders like Daim, Sanusi and Dr.M can take this opportunity to ensure BN is defeated heavily and hence justifying the removal of the president of the party. MM has to ack fast before he is removed by the PM.
Perak coup d'état in reverse? Does 'nice man' Mukhriz have the cojones? Well, Mahathir's UMNO Baru is dead and needs to be given a decent burial. It's time for UMNO New Millennium!
It may kill off Najib and get rid of the fundamentalists in the Kedah state govt in 1 stroke!
if they choose to follow through on what they started, they will see the wrath of Kedahan people in the next GE.
I dont think by that time they will see either blue or green or rocket, they will see only the people they hate and had disrupted the serenity of the people.
Don't forget his core soldiers, salleh keruak,rahman Dahlan,nazri Aziz,ahman mazlan,sharir samad,teuku nan also to sg.buluh
Now this is one wayang kulit I will pay to watch !
Mukhriz akan dimuhyiddinkan sama. Mula-mula, dia di downgrade dari wakil Parlimen (Persekutuan) dan berjawatan Menteri ke DUN (walaupun dapat jadi MB). Skrg usaha utk Mukhriz dimuhyiddinkan.
Politik ibarat main chess. Makan, makan dan makan sampai checkmate itulah politik. Kerana politik byk Kerajaan Melayu silam tumbang. Kerana politik, UMNO pernah diharamkan.Kini apa yang berlaku adalah politik. Pengundi sekadar boleh mengundi - lebih lebih mana ada?
The night of the long or short knives, whichever way it is called.
Don't you think Mukhriz would have prepared for this eventuality and have some counter measures. Yours are also very doable. PAS Kedah has asked for the assembly to be dissolved.
Umno is doomed. Umno is doomed. Wake up ALL Malaysians. Love the country more than ONE incompetent corrupt man.
This is the State of Kedah. What can Najib do??? He can do nothing except to unsettle the MB using his stupid 'machais'. Only the DUN can remove the MB through a vote of no confidence. And to do this, I'm sure some BN Adun can align with opposition Adun's to defeat the motion.
Ahmad Bashah is being stupid and so are the Umno MPs who attended the PC. Mukriz shld give Najib the 2 finger like what Najib did to Mahathir in the later quest to remove him as PM. Tit for Tat. Alternatively Mukriz shld publicly declare that he is willing to step down as MB provided Najib step down as PM. Reasons being that he is never investigated by the Macc whislt Najib is under serious investigation.
I really like the last option. If Mukriz can do it, it will be a coup of sorts which will really hurt Najib and gang. I'm sure the opposition is gung-ho on it too. And it could possibly trigger a revolt in other state too if the formula works well.
Looks very much like Najib is digging a deeper hole for himself. Life is not so bad these days.
I hope najib will do more of this until one fine day, we can spit not only on him but also his shadows.
I agree. Thats probably the only way to justify the resignation of the Prime Minister. Making one horrible mistake after another.
The spitting has already began long time ago. Just take a peek at his FB postings. He is the worst PM ever. Simply shameful
