MALAYSIA TO GET MESSIER: Najib reaches 'point of no return' - will he launch a crackdown next & ARREST DR M?

M'SIA TO GET MESSIER: Najib reaches 'point of no return' - will he launch a crackdown next & ARREST DR M?
LAST Friday, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and the now tainted Sarawak Report (SR) went to town with their so-called scoop alleging that Datuk Seri Najib Razak pocketed RM2.6 billion (US$700 million) from 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) and other state entities.
The prime minister has fired back, saying that he never took any funds for personal gain and that this latest allegation could again be the work of his political opponents out to topple him.
In fact, he went a step further by saying he believed that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, working hand in glove with foreigners including the political blog SR, could be behind the latest lie.
The open war between Najib and Dr Mahathir has moved a few notches up with Najib unlikely to take it lying down any more. For months, he has tried to restrain himself out of respect for the elderly statesman, but he has now run out of patience and reached the point of no return.
Najib attended a buka puasa event with some mainstream media editors on Thursday night when he talked about the need for the media to seek the truth and not be a purveyor of lies and half-truths.
Right now, people don’t bother to check or recheck their facts and accept those things being churned out by the social media as gospel truth.
Najib might or might not have known that the WSJ and SR reports were going to hit the town the next day. But he looked jovial that night and even joked with journalists that he lost a bit of weight not because of political stress but because of his new diet regime.
He has not been eating rice for the last nine months. Instead, he replaced rice with quinoa as his staple food. The latest attack appeared coordinated between WSJ writer Ken Brown, SR’s founder, Clare Rewcastle Brown, and, as Najib alleged, Dr Mahathir. Ken Brown is WSJ Hong Kong bureau chief.
It appears that Ken Brown’s expose could be used to create a diversion and rescue Clare Brown from being implicated in the “Justogate” scandal for stealing, doctoring and tampering with emails and documents related to 1MDB to implicate Najib.
Dr Mahathir’s problem with Najib started not long after Najib took over in early 2009. But things came to a head soon after the 13th General Election when Barisan Nasional under Najib did worse than in the 12th General Election. Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir’s narrow defeat to Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, Najib’s cousin, for an Umno vice-president’s post made things worse. Najib’s no-holds-barred statement on Friday showed little deference to the man he once served.
“These attacks began when I refused to implement Tun Mahathir’s personal demands. I refused because I do not believe it is right for Malaysia to be ruled by proxy.
“Tun then created a crisis when he recklessly claimed that RM42 billion was missing from 1MDB, when in fact these are audited debts backed by RM51 billion audited assets.” The fight between the two is likely to escalate. With so much at stake, no one is going to easily give up. Knowing Dr Mahathir, he will not stop a fight he started. For sure, things will get messier from now. - NST
