Malaysia PM faces limited future after worst electoral showing

[zeddy]

Not as simple as you make it out to be. Mahathir detests S'pore and was sorely upset when Najib struck such extraordinary economic deals with S'pore.
Mahathir would have never given up Tanjong Pagar railway station, not even for many billions of dollars...

You have a point there.. Another subject that made Mahathir sore was the South Johor Economic Region Iskandariah Development Zone project..

Najib is desperate - playing the race cards

Najib defends Utusan, says Chinese papers the same

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has defended today's Utusan Malaysia front page report that asks the question "What more do the Chinese want?"

"You blame Utusan but you don’t ask about the Chinese papers," Najib said during a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

Najib (right) alluded that Chinese dailies produced similar types of news, before abruptly leaving the the press conference venue.

He was speaking to reporters after chairing a two-and-a-half hour meeting with newly elected BN representatives at the Putra World Trade Centre.

Najib also said the Chinese community were "taken for a ride" by the opposition and were under the impression that their votes could trigger a change in government.

"I do not blame them. But we need to tell them that they were taken for a ride, similar to the Sept 16 claim," said Najib, according to fz.com, in reference to Pakatan Rakyat's failed attempt to entice 30 BN MPs to join them in 2008.

'BN made urban gains too'

Najib also dismissed suggestions that the election result had exposed a "urban-rural" divide, pointing out that BN did make some gains in urban seats.

On claims that foreigners had voted on Sunday, Najib said this was ludicrous as it would take 100 jumbo jets to fly in the alleged 40,000 foreigners said to be brought in to vote BN.

“Has anyone seen these jumbo jets landing? Yet, whatever we say is a lie, what they say is the truth when in reality it is the opposite,” he said.

On the integrity of the electoral system, Najib said Pakatan were in two minds over the system - supporting it when they won, yet are sceptical whenever they lose.

“If we could manipulate the system that way, do you think we would have allowed (the losses) to happen?” he asked.

Meanwhile, PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali has reminded politicians and the media not to stoke racial sentiments which may create unrest.

“There should not be anyone pointing figures to any race because they are not satisfied with the 13th general election results.

“PAS urges all, including the authorities, to do its duty to protect the citizens rather than condone provocation from irresponsible groups, which will stoke racial sentiments.

“What happened in the 13th general election is the rejection, in general, of all groups against BN.

“This is the reason why BN is defeated in the popular vote for the first time in the country's history.”

Mustafa said according to the Election Commission (EC), it is clear that 5.623 million voters or 49.96 percent chose Pakatan Rakyat at the federal level, while 5.237 million voters or 46.53 percent support BN.

He said only irresponsible people would see the rejection of BN phenomenon from a racial aspect.

Re: Najib is desperate - playing the race cards

Najib needs to blame the Chinese so as to divert attention from his failure as UMNO leader and PM. He is fighting to keep his job and his performance in the election is ammunition for his opponents to topple him.
So, making the Chinese as the scapegoat is perfect.

Glad that Malays are coming out to defend the Chinese and point to the urban-rural divide in the election.

SAF is on alert.

I wonder why?

Malaysia needs Chinese representation in government, says Dr Mahathir
AsiaOne - ‎2 hours ago‎

PUTRAJAYA: A government without any Chinese representatives is not good for a multi-racial country like Malaysia, said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad Tuesday.

The Malays who supported PKR knows that Najib is telling a blatant lie when he blamed the Chinese for BN's poor performance last Sunday.. Many Malays voted for Kit Siang in Gelang Patah.. The large number of votes that was garnered by the DAP strongman would not be possible without the support of the Malays there..

Najib's future really depends on whether Mahathir says anything on the matter, either publicly or privately.

Najib is one weak and stupid bastard....weak because you got his fatass corrupted cheebye greedy wife who is screwing things upmwith all her shenanigans......stupid because he is still letting that old bastard dog mahathir talk his cock whilst attempting to install hs village idiot for a son to be the nect PM.....and now this...aftr fuckingbstealing the elections through his electoral fraudulent tricks ...espeically in johor,...he still dares to cme ut to fuck the chnese as trouble maker when it is actualy the MAJORITY OF MALAYSIANS WH ARE TELLING HIM AND HIS BN TO FUCK OFF......

Your eyes are typical of those bred in the PAP system. So how? Cos they fear Muhyydin then must lan lan vote UMNO meh.

That is why I'll say you are very naive. Even if you want to strike, you must first weigh on your chances of winning before making that strike. The Chinese Malaysians should have known better that as long as Mahathir is still around, the BN will still be the federal government at the end of the day. He still commands considerable respects and influence within his UMNO comrades as well as those older generation Malay population. Badawi was already a living example. He was a non-corrupt leader, but was also booted out eventually because he doesn't "sing the same tune as Mahathir".

By rejecting BN last Sunday, now they will face the consequences of having a much degraded nationality. What can Anwar do to recover for them now? Practically nothing, but causing demonstrations and more bloodshed at worst. Even the MCA had thrown in the towels and refused to be represented in the new cabinet. There'll be no more Chinese representation for them in the federal government. Even the local Ah Nehs are taking sides with the BN now and I would say they are smarter for they cared for themselves first.

As for the PAPies in Sinkie Land, it's entirely a different aspect. The Chinese are the majority stakeholders in Sinkie Land. We have every right not to fear the PAPies. If they should performed not up to expectation, we should rightfully kick them out as well. However, 1 of the weakest point in Sinkie politics is because the oppositions themselves are not united. Also, presently WP is very much limited in its manpower to truly take over and govern Sinkie Land. LTK had already admitted this himself. So, it will still need to take several more years or even a decade for the PAPies to be pulled down because of the lack of quality oppositions and worse if they can't even see eye-to-eye with their counterparts. Just recall those (crude) remarks from KJ towards WP and also from CSJ towards WP during the last Punggol East BE and you'll know what I mean.

On a side-note, do you know why China gives 50-year autonomy to Hongkong after 1997? That's because they are smart not to cause revolts and chaos. They know that by 2047, most of those current Hongkongers who had lived under the British administration would have died by then and it can then be a more peaceful transition with very little retaliation, if any. In politics, timing is always of great essence.

Very truth and good summary!
