Istana type intrigues
The Malaysian Insider - MCA, DAP flay BTN, demand punishment for racist official.
If PM Najib doesnt watch out, by the time he returns, Muhyiddin will be the puppet PM with someone pulling the strings.
While the two school principals might have been indiscreetly spontaneous in their racist outbursts, I doubt the BTN deputy director Hamim Husain would have dared, in the immediate wake of the school scandals, to act so unbelievably racist without a wink and a nod from above.
Its obvious someone is deliberately escalating the racial tension to either create another situation for a possible Ops Lallang 2 or even declare some form of national security emergency to delay the general election and buy time for BN, or to depose Najib in the way as AAB was deposed.
Once I was discussing Malay politics with a Chinese friend when he exclaimed how the Malay body politics was so full of intrigues, Machiavellian manoeuvres and, contrary to Malay proclamations of how much they treasure loyalty, full of treachery.
Notable events would be the history of the Sultanates from early Malacca right down to present day Kelantan and how Tun Razak conducted a coup detat against a broken hearted Tunku.
He also reminded me on how Dr Mahathir, one of the longest serving PM and a powerful voice in Malay politics, was so effectively embargoed-boycotted by AABs 4th Floor boys and worse, unconscionably betrayed by a host of his erstwhile Kedah sidekicks who had benefitted during his reign and from his generous largess.
In other words there is no such thing as loyalty in Malay politics that value perished together with Hang Jebat.
He commented on how infantile Chinese body politics in this country is by comparison. He attributed the depth of Machiavellian Malay political manoeuvrings to their history of and experience in palace intrigues.
I protested that Chinese too had their share of palace intrigue! s, perha ps even of a worse kind, but he pooh-pooh-ed me off, saying the Chinese who migrated to Malaysia were the politically naive Southerners, basically peasants and not the more politically devious Northerners, who dominated the royalty, court nobility and courtiers.
We're children of peasant stock? Wakakaka.
OK, back to Malaysia - I have to admit that for a while I thought Dr M would still hutang budi the late Tun Razak and thus tolerate if not mentor his son Najib to stay on as PM until the latters time for retirement, but now I wonder?
There's no doubt Dr M doesn't like the way Najib is going.
So if that's the case, how long can Najib hang on?
