Najib's Trojan Horse?

TTDI, 5 June: Someone still insists till today, over two years after Mahathir declared "war" on PM Najib Razak, that the two are secretly working together/conspiring/in cahoot to hand the Opposition their most painful defeat in the next general election. 
Wishful thinking on the part of those who refuse to believe that Mahathir would turn against yet another successor.

But seeing how fractured Pakatan Harapan has become ever since Dr Mahathir formed his own party Pribumi to help the Opposition, you've got to wonder sometimes if he is, in fact, not helping Najib!


NOT YOUR PLACE TO PICK PAKATAN PM, ANWAR TELLS DR M


Sowing discord within the Opposition 
KUALA LUMPUR, June 5 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today criticised Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad over the latter’s “offer” to be Pakatan Harapan’s candidate for prime minister.
According to Malaysiakini, the PKR de facto leader said it did not matter that the former prime minister suggested himself for the position.
“It is not for him (to decide), it is for Harapan (to decide),” he was quoted as saying by the news portal.
“People don’t volunteer (to be prime minister), there has to be a consensus.”
Dr Mahathir last week claimed he did not aspire to return to the post he had held for over two decades, but said he would not discount the possibility if “friends” in the opposition pact saw fit to ask.
The Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia chairman’s remark also comes after his open rejection of Anwar for the position.
Dr Mahathir refused to display placards endorsing Anwar as the “seventh prime minister” during PKR’s annual assembly last month, and later confirmed that he did not support his former deputy for the post.
The incident has triggered further discord within the informal pact comprising DAP, PKR, Amanah and PPBM.
Anwar is currently serving a five-year prison sentence for sodomy, and the plan to make him prime minister — dubbed the “Kajang Move 2.0” — involves installing his wife, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, as a placeholder prime minister.
It would also require Anwar to somehow obtain a royal pardon, which would then remove his disqualification to contest the by-election that he must win in order to be able to hold the post. - Sources MalayMailOnline and Malaysia Today

Seriously, however, Anwar is fighting an uphill battle against the man who outwitted, sacked and jailed him in 1998. Mahathir has got severall key leaders from PKR, Amanah and DAP - especially DAP - eating from his hands already.  I don't think he would have "offered" himself to be PM if he had not secured some form of support from them.

    Walaupun dikhabarkan di Parlimen bahawa peguam hebat bertaraf 5 bintang ini hanya dibayar 1 ribu untuk khidmat guamannya, sesuatu yang tak masuk dek akal, pendedahan sensasi Clare Rewcastle had opened up a can of worms.

    Peguam yang dikenali ramai kerana kepetahannya tiba-tiba kelu lidah tidak terkata. Diam seribu bahasa. PM Najib yang dikaitkan juga diam 2 ribu bahasa. Nancy Shukry diam 3 ribu bahasa. Jabatan Peguam Negara diam 4 ribu bahasa. Salleh Keruak yang aktif menulis blog masih tiada entri baharu. Blogger pro kerajaan seperti mykemut, RinggitBru dan Cucu Tok Klepet diam dan sunyi sepi seolah-olah mengiyakan tuduhan Clare.

    Adakah pihak kerajaan hanya membiarkan isu ini tidak terjawab? Sampai bila hendak berdiam diri?

    Orang tua-tua kata diam tanda setuju.
