In her piece in FMT, “The doctor decides…?” , Selena Tay shares with us information she has received that suggests Mahathir now rules the roost in UMNO and that he is targeting to have the 13th GE in September, this year.
1st September, to be precise.
And if not September, then December.
1st December.
I am hearing differently from my sources in UMNO.
Yes, Dr M is pissed of with Jibby.
And the old man wants pink lips out of the driving seat.
And notwithstanding the spin that is being put out about how well BN might do in the next GE, nobody in UMNO who is in the know really believes that.
Sure, they plan to cheat, but can they pull it off, and big time, too?
And can they bank on Sabah remaining a fixed deposit?
So, yes, they might still win, but can Jibby improve on Pak Lah’s performance in 2008?
Many in UMNO think he can’t, and that would suit Dr M fine, given that Jibby came to office riding on Pak Lah’s poor performance, so a poor showing by Jibby in GE13 gives Dr M and the other UMNO warlords the perfect premise to force pinky lips out.
Except for a huge, ugly stumbling block.
Rosmah!
Pak Lah was not married to a woman who was calling the shots.
Jibby is.
No guarantee, therefore, that, Jibby can be forced out the way Pak Lah was.
And Dr M knows that.
So it was back to the drawing board for Dr M
And this, I am told, is the evil bugger’s game plan.
No, not to displace Najib through a poor election result, but by the establishment of a National Operations Council (NOC).
Post May 13, 1969, emergency was declared, parliament was suspended and power was vested in a NOC.
There were many brains behind that move.
I’ll just mention two.
Tun Razak.
Dr M.
These two men, together with others, ended Tunku’s rule as prime minister through the mechanism of the NOC.
When parliament was restored later, Tunku was out of office and in his place was Razak.
See Dr M stirring up the race issue of late?
See the trouble being stirred by Perkasa in Penang?
Expect more of it, I am told.
And expect it to get worse.
Soon after Razak died, Najib won a seat in parliament. Many felt he won on the strength of his lineage.
The involvement of that lineage in the removal of Tunku may yet come back to haunt Jibby.

A post i put up 3 years ago. I thought Najib was going to use the NOC, But I guess it works for whoever is fastest to the gun…Certainly, Emergency is the only way to maintain power without elections…

These types of rumors will probably scare a lot of non-Malay fencesitters into compliance.
Don’t forget that even though a lot of Malaysians feel outrage, most of them are also apathetic, cowardly and feel powerless. You mention something like the NOC and most of us will be scratching our heads wondering how the hell you oppose something like that.

I have always maintained that the grand son of the pariah from Kerala, the shenanigan Mahathir,has never retired. He pretended to have retired because he knew if he did’t he would have been indicted by the International Court of Justice for his abuses during the tenure of his rule as P.M.
He chose AB as his successor solely because he thought in AB he found himself a puppet to continue his abuses and with him only as a civilian and thereby free from any criminal charges that would apply only to a politician. When AB did not do what he had wanted especially when AB did not include the useless 2nd son of the shenanigan in the cabinet he surfaced with the excuse of the bad election results and kept on attacking AB until he retired.
Also most of all the very thought of being indicted for the abuses and the many atrocities he committed must have given him sleepless nights and spend his twilight years in jail must have given him the renewed interest in politics.
Whatever it may be he will have to face the consequences of his actions or better still his maker !

The world is watching ,what more with utube and the rest of internet. in 569, it was a no info age.
If anything nasty happens, say farewell to the malaysian dream.
MM is worried in the event PR wins GE13. He has to reap what he sowed in bamboo river.
People are now very cautious of whatever MM speaks, they know its survival talk and dont take him seriously .
As long as the weak link in PR is not screwing themselves up, yes PR wins hands down.
As long as perkasa messes around with people, sure PR wins.
As long as “hang ambiga” is kept alive PR wins,really ! a lot of indians are pissed with the
anti ambiga stunts. As can be seen ,mic is trying to ride on the anti ambiga sentiments.
mic is a joke with those who cant be lied to. As mentioned elsewhere,the zombie parties
will get seats allotted to mic in not so plain a language.Ie nalla karuppan ,hindraf makkal sakti party, ipf and the like will reduce mic to the invisble party.Palanivel looks nervous thinking of where he will contest
Come GE13, most of the hotshots will have flown out on the eve of ge13.If good news is in store, they will make a grand entrance if not they go MIA .
Those guys do not have the guts to stand and face the music. Like samy velu disappeared from the counting centre in sg.siput. midway. I hear he ‘drowned”himself for 2 whole weeks.
Come what may, the people have awoken and will be very difficult to put them to sleep anymore and are awaiting GE13 to show their ‘kolaveri ‘
Lets hope they are not blinded if they are looking for an easy way out .It will be hell lot harder to correct it.

We can all sense Mahathir’s exasperation, frustration and desperation. At 86 this man is almost entirely lacking in compassion and wisdom. Mahathir is NOT an intelligent man. He is supremely CUNNING – the way thieving rats and predator crocodiles can be cunning. Intelligence would have guided Mahathir to realize the pathological myopia and cosmetic superficiality of his Wawasan 2020 – which focused on the trappings of progress, the boastful phallic skyline of a New York wannabe, and the colossal architecture of monolithic power (none of which endures, as we can see from ancient ruins everywhere), while totally ignoring the value of intellectual growth and maturity and, along with it, an artistic and cultural blossoming. Because his political thinking and vision are utterly mediocre, Mahathir’s 22-year reign has produced an endemic mediocrity dressed up in expensive finery – a mere facade of “progress” – not the real thing. I seriously doubt Mahathir can stage manage a re-run of May 1969. There aren’t enough illiterate, egoically insecure and culturally insulated Malays left in the country to support such a reactionary scenario. And this is precisely why Mahathir HATES and FEARS Anwar – simply because Anwar’s political vision is likely to correct the course Mahathir set towards building a monolithic empire to his own ego by corrupting the Malay elite and blinding them to authentic values. Anwar Ibrahim’s mission – to replace Ketuanan Melayu with Ketuanan Rakyat promises to deconstruct and dismantle everything Mahathir believes in, leaving him bereft of a political legacy and only a permanent niche in the museum of villainy.

Would not be surprised if NOC being contemplated but really even most rural Malays has heard of the adage – fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, shame on you..
They have been resorting to all the old tricks in the book dating back to the beginning of May 13, 1969 and it has NOT worked. One more isn’t going to work again..People just are less gullible.
Also, a NOC would result in a real fight. Its not just Najib that is soft, the rest of the leaders are too and they don’t have a stomach for a real fight.

The DECEITFUL Mamak MahaTHIEF is fearful of Pakatan coming to power as it will erase all hope of him & his Sons raping the Countrys wealth on an indefinite period-so long as they have influence over the Malay masses and the acess to power.
A crafty cunning Opportunist who will go to any despicable level to eliminate opponents esp framing Anwar Ibrahim and getting Polis to do his dirty work for him whilst GRABBING the Finance post for himself and then like a magic wand…hey presto ! Mukriz, Mizan MahaTHIEF,Mokzani, & the F1 Porsche Mamak Son al all BILLIONAIRES !!!!
These shameless THIEVES in other western democracy will by now be prosecuted for looting and put behind bars but here they can buy oil Co. Esso, Bakery,island etc etc.
The Mahathirs have a lot of fear & worries if Pakatan take over Putra Jaya hence the bogeman Mei 13 is wheeled out again & Perkasa too to intimidate .
But this time the game is different as its Malay & Multi Racial Pakatan vs Malay Umno.
All should go home quietly if Pakatan win and do not allow opportunists to cause trouble so that emergency rule is declared and hence we do not get the REFORM Govt we all deserve !

Troublemakers can always be found. See Aesop’s fable, the Wolf and the Lamb. If the Wolf wants to eat the Lamb it can always find a reason.
The only difference is, do you believe the reasons are legitimate? Do you waste time fighting the Wolf’s rationale or do you just tell it to fuck off because it’s still not going near that Lamb under any circumstances?
A Wolf is still a Wolf no matter what disguises it wears. If it puts on new clothes and bares its fangs this time, I’ll just keep myself updated with the official Bersih page to find out what I can do.
