With Najib Razak imprisoned, the fissures in Umno are being laid bare. Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob appears to be under intense pressure from the party’s ‘court cluster’ ie those with court cases who are now unnerved by Najib’s jailing.
Some in the party seem to be worried that the longer Najib is in jail and as more corruption cases come before the courts, support for the party could slip in the weeks ahead. That would spell doom for their plans to take over the government and try and put an end to their legal nightmare.
For outsiders, it seems weird for party supporters to try and force an election when the party itself is already part of government.
One thing is for sure: the developments over the last week have helped to repair some of the damage to Malaysia’s international image.
So let’s not allow the good to be undone. Let’s continue the battle against corruption; everyone has to do his or her part and not let up.

A1 == 1. Dr M Rejects Claims Of Influence Over Judges In Najib’s Trial by FMT reporters dd August 27, 2022 12:35 PM https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2022/08/27/dr-m-rejects-claims-of-influence-over-judges-in-najibs-trial/ ======== **** It has to do with the timing. Why the sudden urgency now. Why not after the GE15 ? Imagine, 3 years plus and on going, but the last appeal can get wrapped up within the week. Why no similar action in the 1st year? Why not in the 2nd year? So many reasons has been entertained and suddenly just as GE15 is around the corner, no more already? If can wait and let the case to drag… Read more »
It’s a long way back for MCA and MIC now. Becoming more credible champions of non-Malay issues risks upsetting the very Malay parties whose coat-tails they need to ride. Stay silent, and they slide further out of the spotlight.
It appears as though the entire premise for their existence – multiracial representation – will never truly be achieved, not as long as BN and the government is set up as currently constructed.

MCA used to say Najib a good leader. Now they are quiet, even after Umno wanted royal pardon for bossku.

========
This is one of the reasons why we Rakyat should go for a ‘ Single coalition Party’ like Barisan Nasional to govern our Nation. If we give different political parties different states to rule, we will end up with like having ‘ Wild horses pulling in different directions.’
While the political parties look for ‘convenience’ for themselves in making this sort of decisions they forget the inconvenience they are causing for the Rakyat who are the actual VOTERS.

Have not made any attempt to move forward into the 21st century’s Digital and automation age. Don’t seem to be able to come with new ideas, no vision, no innovations. Still with the same old recycled excuses of shortage of workers, loss of revenue in billions, being repeated over and over again. Basically, greed… Read more »

Our Government should not fall for these excuses from the business community. Notice how the shortage of workers excuse is always followed by loss of revenue in BILLIONS.
These is to impress the Government that they will also losing revenue just as much, in billions. Our Government should tell the business community to do something about it themselves by looking into upgrading their business process or methods and the adoption of Green Technology.

Our Government should continue to maintain the policy of reducing dependence on foreign workers. Our Home ministry and Home minister was and still is right on the spot on this. Our own Rakyat are still available. Just that they have moved forward. The business community has not caught up with them yet. Wonder why?
As long as our Government gives in to these business people’s excuses of shortage of workers, our Nation will not be able to move forward. Our Rakyat will keep moving out of our Nation to greener pastures.

Umno and BN want to turn GE15 into a vote for Najib and Rosmah and against the nine judges who had unanimously adjudged Najib guilty of corruption and the High Court judge who found Rosmah also guilty of corruption on Thursday.
In the next general election, a vote for Umno and BN will be a vote for Najib and for corruption against the rule of law.

Our Rakyat should not be fooled by it. You see Dato’ Seri Najib is who, one calls a smart and experienced campaign team leader. While the team leader is being temporarily incarcerated, the rest of the team who are equally smart are still intact.

It is very unfortunate that many of the Malay/Muslim political leaders have gone far astray and deviated from the right Islamic path. They spent lavishly beyond their means and resorted to corruption to cover the cost, imitating the evil deed of the devil. They have deviated far away from the right path, to adopt the right measures to develop the country and uplift the position of the poor and needy. They are not God-fearing, that is to enjoin good deeds and to prohibit evils.

NO, NO, NO. Don’t always rush to make police reports or hire lawyers to sue. There is no need for it. It shows weakness and an inability to do rebuttals. This is spoken in a political arena. Learn how to do rebuttals to political statements made. The Rakyat always wants to know the truth. Public Institutions are not above criticisms or are they?

Imagine the damage if these UMNO guys are in full control of Putrajaya. We, the people, should join the past Presidents and the Bar Council to give our fullest support for an independent judiciary and for the firmness and the professionalism these brave judges have displayed.
It took so long for the judiciary to recover and now to save their skin these UMNO fellows are ready to push the country again into another dark age!
Hallo Jialat69, what does it mean, an independent judiciary? How does its system work ? Who is suppose to do the hiring, firing and promotion of its ‘staffs’. Who are they answerable to? Are they above public scrutiny and criticism ? Please explain these to us Rakyat. And if not UMNO, then who ?

All will use delay tactics like Bossku.

Hope to see them in jail soon!
C3 == Of course, do not forget to take advantage of Dato’ Seri Naib incarceration. The timing of the whole thing to put him behind bars stinks. As for ‘ ammunitions ‘ you have the acquittal of those involved in the Penang’s Bungalow issue, right after Pakatan Harapan won the GE14 and then went on to initiate the charges against DSN. You should read up the whole case from beginning to end. It will make a interesting case study to the current DSN’s ‘event’. There maybe more negative events related to the Opposition. There are some Opposition leaders who… Read more »
C4 == Why were these changes not undone when BN/PN came to become the Ruling Government. Then one should also ask, “was there any Judicial Independence involved during this time”. Do some research and use it in your election campaign. Be Smart, Work Smart and you will not go wrong. You also have to look into your own party and root out members who have their own personal agenda. This will be your internal matter not necessary public. As for the Royal Pardon, if law says anyone who is detained and jailed by the law can apply for it, then… Read more »

Save this country from BN, PN, Pas & all those leaders who use race, religion to champion their narrative. Our prosperous country has been drained dry & now our people are suffering. Very soon, if we don’t address, we will be applying for job as construction workers in Vietnam, Indonesia etc. Enough plundering the country. Let new honest, young, educated & clean leaders to lead us. Clear check & balance to be implemented through parliament & no one is above law.
Why are you saying ” our prosperous country has been drained dry & now our people are suffering and will be applying for jobs in other countries? ”
Our Business community is claiming that they are turning away many many orders worth Billions of Ringgit, by claiming that our Nation is having shortage of workers and you say the opposite. Confusing or not?

Political pap like the Rukun Negara, once quoted by all and sundry as governing principles has been discarded and in its place, the interest of criminal “leaders” reigns supreme. The country is unevenly divided in terms of morals and values…with the majority giving a toss for the rules of the game, of what makes good governance. And the gap grows wider by the day. The point is, we are not the same, we don’t share the same values. Maybe we never did. The country is on a slippery slope and the events of the last fortnight have revealed to what… Read more »
Tidak cukup dipenjara, Pengerusi Penaja Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA), Tun Mahathir Mohamad terus menyerang bekas Perdana Menteri, Najib Razak.

Tun Mahathir menyifatkan Najib yang juga bekas Presiden UMNO ‘berjaya’ menukar budaya dan nilai hidup Melayu dengan menolak bukti jelas serta menerima kenyataan tidak berasas.
Even if the accepty (again) and promote Rukunegara, it is no more meaningful than other platitudes such as unity and nationalism. A family in which the parents show favoritism is in trouble. So also a nation.

Meantime, the President of the other party ( Perikatan Nasional ) had this to say,
” Although Perikatan Nasional and Barisan Nasional have a similar name, the difference between us is night and day, says Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.”
So, is it not strange for him to say this since PN is also part of the same Ruling Government ?

Malaysian police have launched an investigation under the Sedition Act against UMNO president Zahid Hamidi. They have received a dozen reports against the politician about a speech he made to party leaders on Aug 27.
Today 27Aug after UM-No Baru meeting there will be UM-No Baru Baru, distinguishing between the court cluster and cabinet cluster.
Rafizi on Umno:
… the names of [prominent] politicians were mentioned in the secret ledger of Ultra Kirana Sdn Bhd (UKSB)
The question is, why is UKSB the talk of the town and why are there so many politicians involved?
In the coming GE15, the voters have to make it very clear which parties are the real and genuine parties in the opposition. In all the recent state by-elections, PH lost was because of the fact that many voters thought and were confused that Bersatu, Pas and a few others were opposing BN resulting in votes being seriously split. Comes this GE 15, the voters have to be awakened to the fact that the only opposition party is Pakatan Harapan (PH) who is against all others who definitely will regroup again with BN after GE 15 with the sole purpose… Read more »
We the Rakyat are at a loss. Tell us, why did Opposition PH signed a MOU with the BN/PN Ruling government if they are against all other political parties?
Understand the Opposition PH [allegedly] received some Funds … after signing the MOU with the Ruling Government[?] Was the Opposition PH bought over ?
Malays’ understanding is very simple. A whopping RM42 million had been stolen – 3 courts and 9 senior judges concurred Najib did it. Not a single judge had ruled otherwise. The head of all three courts who convicted him are ethnic Malay. The Chief Justice is a Malay. The Attorney General is a Malay. And the best part is Najib was sent to the prison by his own UMNO-Malay government.
