There is no Alternative, Najib must Go for Malaysia’s sake
Najib Razak and
his MCA Accomplices
It’s
high time that the people rise up in defence of the nation and future
generations, urged a political analyst. He warned in his latest blog posting
that covering up wrongdoing and sweeping them under the carpet was not the way
to enlist the confidence of the international community in the country. “The
consumer sentiment and the confidence of investors in the people, government,
economy, market, ringgit and country would be affected too.”
No
one, he said, should think that he can act with impunity i.e. do what he or she
likes and expect to get away. “No one can get away with anything if we are
determined not to allow them to get away.”
Shahbudin
Husin, the analyst, pointed out that it was really shameful that the world
outside does not hesitate to investigate wrongdoing by Malaysians, at home and
abroad, while the authorities concerned in the country maintain an ominous
silence on the matter when they are not busy covering up or sweeping them under
the carpet. “Who at this stage will replace Najib Abdul Razak as Prime Minister
is a secondary matter. I will write about this separately.”
“What’s
important now is that he must first be removed one way or another. The pressure
must be maintained until he goes. We can no longer accept him as Prime
Minister. Najib’s departure, he added, can only bring good to the people and
the country and their future. “He can longer face the international community
or look other world leaders in the eye.”
“The
departure of Najib will send a clear message and signal to others in the
corridors of power to think twice before they convince themselves that they can
act with impunity,” said the analyst. “They should not think that they can
manipulate the system to cover-up wrongdoing and sweep things under the
market.”
Shahbudin
was commenting on a Federal Grand Jury convening in the US to examine
allegations of corruption involving the Prime Minister and people linked to him
on the matter. “What’s really shameful is that this investigation not only
involves corruption and wrongdoing but also greed and recklessness in piling
wealth of uncertain and dubious origin outside the country.”
“Meanwhile,
consider the fate of the people especially in the kampungs who have to queue up
to receive their RM500 BR1M once a year from the government. Compare their
plight with the billions in ill-gotten gains being salted away overseas by
those who claim to serve them.”
The
analyst expects Najib to be faced with investigation after investigation, from
all directions, in the wake of the US Federal Grand Jury convening on him.
“This alone should convince the people in our country, from all walks of life,
that Najib’s days are even more numbered now and he has no choice but to go and
go soon. This time he doesn’t even have the luxury of working out an exit
strategy.”
“Probably,
the faithful at the Friday prayers would no longer pay any heed to the sermons
put out by those in authority. They would be more focused on real issues connected
with the Prime Minister.”
The
analyst also goes into The New York Times (NYT) report on Monday on the US
Federal Grand Jury on Najib. Malaysia’s
Leader, Najib Razak, Faces U.S. Corruption Inquiry. Najib, noted the
analyst, faces at least two other international investigations against him
besides the US Federal Grand
Jury i.e. one by the FBI and another by the Attorney-General in Switzerland.
There are also reports against him, said Shahbudin, in the UK, France,
Hong Kong and Singapore.
