Muhyiddin's Uncharted Waters
TSMY was being braggadocious when he said he will reign in abuse of power and corruption. He has never shown a steely resolve when dealing with tough issues.
We are not impressed with mere political noises. He must walk the talk. Talk is cheap. For instance, he only mentioned the amount worming its way to Herr Najib's account was Monumental -- that's all.
The 1MDB issue is not excusable just because it is perpetrated by the UMNO redneck Najib Razak. He will get his comeuppance and will spend his sabbatical in Bamboo River Resort. The Bonnie and Clyde of Malaysia will get their punishment. Muhyiddin must show indomitable resolve over the 1MDB issue. He must come before equity with clean hands.
Muhyiddin himself is not free from blemish. One former UMNO leader said the only plot of land Muhyiddin cannot sell is his mother's grave plot.
The only redeemable avenue opened to Muhyiddin is the selection of cabinet members. He has to be careful in the selection. UMNO people who faced court charges ought to be out. The David Duke of Malay Klu Klux Klan UMNO Wak Jahid is out. Political protocol would eliminate Hishamuddin Hussein.
I have seen a few predictions obviously written by UMNO apologists. I don't agree with them. I think people like Tengku Razaleigh, Noraini Ahmad, Shamsul Nasarah, Ismail Said, Azmin Ali, and Zuraida Kamaruddin should be in.
The UMNO rednecks should be out.
