As recently as last week, analysts and commentators were anticipating Najib to make a move on the Presidency before the year’s end. And why would they not? After UMNO Vice President Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin rekindled the debate about Abdullah’s position, Najib appeared to position himself for an assault on the post when he remarked that the divisions should decide for themselves when the transition should occur – essentially informing that he was more than ready to receive nominations for the post of Party President.<BR/><BR/>But with the portfolio swap, Najib may not see a need to gun for the Presidency – and by implication Premiership of the country – so soon. Notwithstanding the fact that a transition of power is, as Abdullah quipped, a process and not something carried out overnight, Abdullah must be credited for such a bold move. Skeptics have characterised it as a calculated political decision to neutralise any potential threat from Najib. Political considerations there definitely were, but by paving the way for Najib to take helm of the Ministry of Finance, Abdullah has also demonstrated magnanimity and sincerity to groom his successor for the top job in 2010.<BR/><BR/>Being Prime Minister with little experience in managing the country’s economy will likely prove a mammoth task for anyone. And as it turns out, Najib is no ordinary figure with an ordinary past. With ample ammunition for the Opposition to take aim at his credibility – the SAS (Sukoi, Altantunya, Submarine) scandals spring to mind as illustrations – a Najib administration could use a head-start in spearheading economic recovery at a time when global financial uncertainty is affecting countries in this region, too.. It is further also to Najib’s convenience that the Budget for the year 2009 has just been announced with much of the implementation left for him to oversee. As such, Najib does not have the baggage of others’ inefficiency to contend with – a prevalent concern whenever an economic plan is carried out.<BR/><BR/>As things, at least for the time being, cool down with regards to any contest for the Presidency of UMNO, it would be interesting to see Tun Dr.. Mahathir’s next move. Commanding a yet formidable following, his end-game for quite a while now is to unseat Abdullah as Prime Minister. His peculiar friendships with Tengku Razaleigh, Muhyiddin and Najib are telling – those individuals are all nothing more than instruments to his ultimate goal: the downfall of Abdullah.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, Abdullah’s supporters will hope that the PM’s move will be repaid with loyalty by Najib. Even to many who may not be Abdullah’s biggest fans are wary of the damage that an open contest will cause the party. Even they would gladly take two more years of Abdullah over the prospect of an internal split that will likely occur should we witness a repeat of the embarrassment suffered by the late Tun Ghafar Baba at the hands of a ruthless Machiavellian by the name of Anwar Ibrahim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-21477791668595772802008-09-19T08:27:00.000+08:002008-09-19T08:27:00.000+08:00yeah, can u verify? - Itamyeah, can u verify? - ItamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-46027750300324154782008-09-18T17:10:00.000+08:002008-09-18T17:10:00.000+08:00rocky, i was reliably informed the 4th floor boys ...rocky, i was reliably informed the 4th floor boys were at work again during the so-called meeting between pm and dpm to discuss the transition plan on sept 16. photos of pm and dpm appeared in the papers a day later. <BR/><BR/>apparently pm's press sec by the name of teoh took a picture of pm and dpm with a third party in attendance to discuss about a book. the photo was immediately sent to bernama which reported the 2010 transition plan would proceed as planned. now that's a real spin whereas it was not discussed at all. how low can the 4th floor boys go? lower ground?<BR/><BR/>can you verify this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-658753773639874952008-09-18T15:44:00.000+08:002008-09-18T15:44:00.000+08:00(heha): "...bang, ..bang ! tell him cepat sik...(heha):<BR/> "...bang, ..bang ! tell him cepat sikit lah...tak tahan lagi ! mau jadi 1stlady & renovate the bilik tidur b4 raya lah...bang, bang...<BR/>CEPAT lah !!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-73162462350250012102008-09-18T14:16:00.000+08:002008-09-18T14:16:00.000+08:00Apa kata ahli Umno dan pembaca NST start buat lapo...Apa kata ahli Umno dan pembaca NST start buat laporan POLIS terhadap NST kerana 'MENYEBARKAN BERITA PALSU dan MENIMBULKAN KERESAHAN DIKALANGAN RAKYAT".
