KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 - Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has made an impassioned plea to the King to not appoint Datuk Seri Najib Razak as prime minister, and instead appoint someone else from Umno "to bring us back from the brink."
The former de facto law minister urged the King to used his judgment to appoint as PM someone who is "beyond reproach in his dealings both official and private," in a scathing attack on his former Cabinet and party colleague.
"A prime minister must have the confidence of the majority of the rakyat…For this to be the case there cannot be anything in the mind of the greater public that, correctly or otherwise, associates him with matters of criminality, wrongful action, improper conduct or abuses of power," he said in a speech to the Rotary Club here today.
Zaid's remarks will certainly put pressure on Najib as he prepares to take power first as Umno president next week before taking over from Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi as prime minister the following week.
The former minister's comments also come a day after Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad also piled on the pressure on Najib by saying he did not shine as a deputy prime minister and acknowledging the baggage he carries into the job.
In his speech, Zaid also made reference to what has been described as the kind of baggage that no other Malaysian leader had on entering office.
He has been linked on the internet and by political rivals to the brutal murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu although he has firmly denied involvement and there is no evidence to tie him to the death.
Najib's popularity rating also stands at just 41 per cent, according to a recent poll by the independent Merdeka Centre.
Zaid said that while he did not intend any accusation, he felt that Najib was not beyond reproach in the collective mind of the rakyat.
"The rakyat has doubts, fuelled by the unanswered allegations against him. It is not a mere trifle in the minds of the rakyat that despite a direct challenge from a member of parliament recently, the deputy prime minister remained silent," he said.
Zaid also cited the RM400 million in commissions reportedly paid by the Defence Ministry while Najib was minister for the procurement of submarines, and pointed out that Abdul Razak Baginda, the DPM's friend was an agent in the deal.
The Altantuya murder was also cited by Zaid, who pointed out that there were many unanswered questions which the public deserved to be told about.
He also described the recent power grab in Perak as an unmitigated disaster.
"They (the public) now equate him with the high-handed tactics that were employed to seize power.
"With all of this and more, how are we not to feel anxious? How are we to sleep peacefully at night?"
Zaid said that while the King is required under the Constitution to appoint the person who commands the confidence of the majority of the members of parliament, it is a matter for His Majesty's judgment.
"There is no constitutional obligation on His Majesty to appoint the president of Umno as the prime minister.
"There are still well qualified members of parliament from Umno who can be appointed PM to bring us back from the brink."

The Rational Choice
written by Sentinel, March 18, 2009
written by Sentinel, March 18, 2009
As Mr Najib tried to explained in today's newspapers that sometime overzealous agents or subordinates may do things that are outside the boundaries of acceptable social behaviour and thereby causes untold damage to the master. In certain cases, it can be accepted that the principal may be innocent and had no intent to cause the hurt of damage as that inflicted by the servant or agent out of his control. But in Mr Najib's case, the question of the commissions paid, and allegation of the wife's involvement, authorisation of usage of government stores, etc., makes the case for him to defend his innocence or more appropriately, his responsibility, most difficult indeed. For most people in his position, the wiser thing would be to resign and move to Britain to stay. Staying on will be problematical. I think the hint has been given also. Mr Najib is an intelligent and not an unreasonable person. But the ball however is in his court. He has to decide. Definitely not his destiny to be PM. He must resign to that fact.

The present PM should use his wisdom and show he has guts by not acceding the post of PM to the unwanted and untustworthy persons. He has to accept that the citizens have a right to be given an honorable PM. Abdullah has the power in his hands and should not give in to power grabbers who push him to the wall.

With the wisdom of the highest order the wind of 'change we must, change we can' will sweep Malaysia to another 50 years of wise leadership. The era of 'RAHMAN' prophecy will soon end and a new era of 'RAZALEIGH' will soon be born.
Part of the energy from the old era (RAHMAN) will join the energy of the new era (RAZALEIGH) to push forward a new Malaysia. Like the old era (RAHMAN), the new era (RAZALEIGH) will again be led by a prince (Tengku). Tengku Razaleigh will be the new leader of the new era, followed by 'Anwar' and then 'Zaid'. Let it be so; it must be so. Long live Malaysia.

All Mps, Please have a heart for Malaysia

I call upon all MPs to take heart of the future of Malaysia. We all know that in your heart, you do not agree that Najib should become MP. You have a say, just don't raise your hand when come to voting.
If you don't have the ball to vote opposition, then stay at home or fall sick amd take sick leave.
Opposition MPs with MPs from the other component parties of BN and supporters of Ali Rustam and Pak lah who are not comfortable with Najib can always vote for another, and that other, I propose to be Razaleigh.
RAHMAN does not end, it starts again after the last A. RAHMA..RAHMA..RAHMA. There should be no end=N. Meaning after Razaleigh, it is Anwar and after Anwar it could be hisham or hamid or whatever.

Najib as PM?

Dear Zaid,
You have definitely added credibility to the 'popular' motion of not appointing Najib to the PM post. We have seen the King making difficult judgment in favor of the majority of the Rakyat, as reflected in the result of the recent KT by election.
But has the King enough 'inside' support to make this historical decision?
I pray so.

Something that was done in USA to pre-determine Obama and his rival.
May as a first cut, it is SHOULD NAJIB BECOME THE 6TH PRIME MINISTER?
If, or rather when, majority say no, then the next poll is SHOULD IT BE _________ OR __________ ?

Ku Li, from the coalition that has more representation in parliament,
and
Anwar, that has support from the oppostion wing and several BN reps who also support him quietly.

Altantuya's trial-only the half-truth
written by Mongol, March 18, 2009
written by Mongol, March 18, 2009
The Altantuya's trial only showcased half of the evidence conncerning the murder. The police didn't investigate the other half, which is 'who ordered the murder'. They are the real killers of Altantuya. The investigators stopped halfway at the paid killers.
The police investigators think they are doing a great job covering up the traces of the killers, and probably getting paid as well . Probably now. But later when they are long retired and facing death, and when money and wealth is no more of value to them, they will surely regret the day that they didn't bring the real killers to book. They will die with this regret. Die feeling that they are in fact traitors to this country.

Najib can proof his innocence:-
1. have a agreement between the King, Razaleigh and himself - while he is in the course of proving his fingers, everything and pockets are as innocent as newborn babe - let KuLi be 'caretaker PM' for the time needed by Najib to clear his innocense.
2. Meantime KuLi will help to cleanse lah, de-skin lah, remap lah whateverlah to make sure all BN- ministers will come out as clean and shiny as honourable knights of King Arthur - and work to win PRU13.
With this formula - moderate KuLi can work with Pr-govt to improve Malaysia ekonomi. Najib still ada peluang, PR work together with KuLi's team for Rakyat Malaysia - isnt this a good formula for sucessful navigation ?

By the mere fact that the DPM was silent, it creates serious doubt in the minds of the public....
(3) "RM400 million in commissions reportedly paid by the Defence Ministry while Najib was minister"..while the country led by BN/UMNO is still talking about poverty eradication, even after 40 years of the NEP implementation, we have here such a big amount paid as commission. One can only imagine how many poor Malay families could have benefited from this RM400million....
(4) "recent power grab in Perak as an unmitigated disaster." This is a gross violation of the wishes of the voters. The public voted a government of their choice..thats the basis of democratic principles....and yet this power grab took place under the leadership of Perak BN Chairman, the DPM himself.

Stopping Making Malaysia a Laughing Stock

Some ten years ago I remember I could speak about Malaysia and Malaysian and got the attention of my colleagues within the Multinational Corporation I worked for in awe and admiration. Now living in Australia I feel most ashamed to even mention Malaysia although I am proud of the facts the some the ex-Malaysians are the most successful people in property development(Maha Sannapathy), entertainment(Guy Sebastian), even at ministerial level(Senator Penny Wong).
Some of my closer friends here are already rolling in horrors and laughter when told of the errors of comedial proportion made by Bodowi, let's not make this drama unfolding on a daily basis (starting with the illegal power grab in Perak) into the political version of the Malaysian "Underbelly" which would the case when the King appoint an animal from lower in the food chain as his replacement.
Many Malaysians would be glad to be ex-Malaysians then.

Of all the former PM of Malaysia, Najib is the only one tangled with that many scandals and accusations even before he holds office. A decent person with high integrity won't have so much false accusations hurled against him at one time. "there will be no waves if there is no wind". There are still many questions unanswered in the mind of majority Malaysian as to the scandals surrounding the upcoming top leader of their beloved country.
saudara Zaid yang saya hormati, kamu telah meluahkan suara hati majoriti rakyat Malaysia. To many of us, Najib defibitely does not qualify. But PR's DSAI's integrity is also questionable (though a slightly better bet than Najib). Malaysia is in a dilemma at the moment.......

In any democratic country, a person who is so tainted as Najib would have quickly withdrawn from public office, let alone becoming the PM. Indeed very thick skin which is typical of Umno morons who are power crazy to cling on to the power even though he has lost all respect from the people. He is willing to sacrifice the country's integrity and reputation for his selfish interest. We are now living in very dangerous time.

There are so many leaders within the BN component parties. Yet not one dare to speak out about Najib's unsuitablity for the PM job knowing fully well in their conscience something really is not right. How shameful. Where is their fear of God?

Did Najib Exhibit Confidence of hte Majority of the Perak State Assembly for UMNO's MB?
written by Paul Warren, March 18, 2009
written by Paul Warren, March 18, 2009
In Perak Najib forced upon the Sultan of Perak an assembly of people who were members of the State Assembly and through private interview and other assurances the Sultan determined that UMNO's man had the confidence of the majority. This blew on the face of the Sultan.
In about 10 days or so Najib is going to walk into the palace and claim that he commands the confidence of the majority without first having it determined in Parliament. He is going to walk up to the Agong on the premise that he being the President of UMNO is the rightful and the natural person to command the confidence of the majority in parliament. This will be the second time in two months he will be doing that.
Can the Agong take his word for it? I hope not.
It is for the Agong to tell Najib to go back to Parliament to move a motion of confidence in him first at the very least. And even then it is still left to the Agong to make that final appointment!!

Does the royal household dare to do the right thing??? Regarding the commission of 400 mils, Najib says it not bribery and TDM also didn't say it was not corruption ( TDM is big in this huge commission payout during his time). Not sure if the Agong agree with that term of 'commission' but then again is he willing to voice out about this? Rakyat have been convinced that we can't get justice under UMNO and BN. Therefore the rakyat have risen and waiting the time to replace UMNO and BN. The rakyat know we'll get no help from the royal household and the judiciary and the civil admin. We'll have to do it the long and hard way....General Election. Then we will purge all the corruption in the judiciary and civil admin and restore the separation of power to the 3 pillars of democracy. Insyaallah.....

Too many allegations against the future PM.
written by Percy, March 18, 2009
written by Percy, March 18, 2009
I dont blame Datuk Zaid Ibrahim for making a plea to our King to save our country. So many serious allegations have been made against the future PM, including police reports and Statutory Declarations. Even people who have made SDs have gone missing and the police are not able to explain. Promises by the Police that they will investigate the SDs have not be kept because we rakyat dont hear anything from them after that - their silence is deafening. People simply cant make SDs without any basis, as its an offense and can be charged in court. Despite so many SDs no body has been charged for making a false SD nor the result of the investigation on them revealed. So can we blame the people for coming to the conclusion that the allegations may be true? I am confused by all this. Where is justice?

I am sorry, but there's no way we can find anything worthwhile underneath this big pile of crap that is UMNO. Even if there remotely was, would you be risking putting in your hand into the UMNO sewer hole to find a "jewel"?

There might not be evidence to tie him directly to the death, but there's certainly evidence that links him with the deceased and the act of murder!
Remember "Be cool"? What about P.I. Bala's affidavit?

Those who still can accept him to be the next PM should search over their conscience to find what's right and wrong. What's right or wrong is not always subjective.

Well said Mr Zaid,you are our Voice to His Majesty. Like I said before you are one of our hero, willing to speak up for the Rakyat. A real true Anak Melayu who thinks not of his community alone but of the Rakyat. I too plead to His Majesty that he will listen to the Voice of the rakyat. Najib with all his heavy baggage & who he has not come forth clean should not be appointed Prime Minister. Domestically he may be shielded by his control of the media but Internationally he has no standing among the other leaders. The recent revelation in the French papers is one example. We need a leader who is not only able to unite the people but is truthful & prepared to answer all questions in the minds of the Rakyat. His debacle in Perak is a disgrace & the silence of His Highness Sultan Azlan adds to the tension in my home state. Sultan Azlan has really let the Rakyat of Perak down. Please do not be like him I implore you our king Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Mizan. May God Bless you with wisdom to listen to your subject & make the right decision. Do Not Appoint Najib As The Next PM.

Got sick when i read some people making an issue of the ex gratia payment to the judges. Do these people really know what happened during the Mahathir era? They must be blind followers of UMNO.

The RAHMAN prophecy needs to be fulfilled. "N"ajib is destined as the end of half a century of UMNO rule. We can see it now.
I have 6 voters in my immediate family. We vote Pakatan Rakyat.

Sabah used to be one of the richest states in the country until some idiots messed up the administration so much so that we are now the poorest in the state in malaysia.......i'm worried that the incoming PM will bring us at par with countries like Burma, Somalia, Madagascar to name a few.... so Zaid you're the man to lead and save the nation from the brink of disaster.

Pakatan Must Go along with HM if someone other than Najib appointed
written by positive Thinker, March 18, 2009
written by positive Thinker, March 18, 2009
DSAI should prepare for such remote possibility that someone from UMNO other than NAJIB is appointed to lead the country! Pakatan should stay united to back the king. WHO could garner support from at least 30 BN MPs ? KULI? ABDULLAH?MUHYDDIN? MPs from UMNO? Probably a handful !MCA,MIC ,Gerakan?No gut at all to defy !Don't dream of it!!BUT IF ABDULLAH WERE TO STAY ,HE COULD GET ADEQUATE SUPPORT IF PAKATAN WERE TO SHORE HIM UP!

Najip for PM? NO
written by Bidayuh, March 18, 2009
written by Bidayuh, March 18, 2009
agong cannot do anything in so far as justice is concern. he can only act base on recommendation from the PM. if there is no recommendation, there will be no action. unlike the queen of england or the emperor of japan or the sultan of respective negeris or thai King. the next question is if the king is powerless why the post is being created? Sultan should only rule his land and not the country. why Melaka has no Sultan?

"Bukan ke Zaid yang meletak jawatan Menteri dan menyalahkan Menteri-Menteri lain kerana enggan menerima perubahan. Sebagai seorang yang menubuhkan firma guaman yang terbesar di Malaysia, beliau sepatutnya tahu untuk membuat arahan atau perubahan kepada firma, pekerja, rakan kongsi atau klien bukanlah mudah serta memerlukan masa. Inikan pulak kepada jabatan atau kementerian serta Menteri yang lain. Beliau sebagai seorang yang berpengalaman & berpelajaran sepatutnya tahu dan jelas (atau bertanya) tentang apakah PM mahu sewaktu melantiknya sebagai Menteri? Bukannya budak baru keluar U, terima saja kerja tanpa tahu tanggungjawab sepenuhnya.
Tetapi Zaid pengecut dan lari dari tanggungjawab serta menyalahkan PM dan Menteri-Menteri diatas kegagalannya sendiri. Jadi, Zaid tak layak memberi komen siapa yang berhaka menjadi PM atau Menteri Kabinet apatah lagi memberi cadangan kepada DYMM Yang DiPertuan Agong."
IM SORRY MATE, YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO'S TOO STUPID TO FIGURE OUT THE TRUTH.

Anwar's Desperate Last Stand
written by eddydaud, March 19, 2009
written by eddydaud, March 19, 2009
Really Anwar and Pakatan have no more bullets to shoot down Najib steam roller run to be Prime Minister of Malaysia on Friday,3rd April 2009.
Anwar used a "jambu" journalist from a French newspaper owned by his zionist friend to smear Najib, that attempt failed miserably. Anwar then used Gobind in Parliament to shoot Najib but that rude and no class lawyer Gobind deservedly received a 1 year suspension instead.
Now Anwar is really digging the bottom of his whisky barrel when he called the ungrateful ex minister who was expelled by UMNO to make a call to the Agung based on Malaysia Today concocted speculation and Anwar own fantasy.
Makes me wonder if Zaid is in a state of drunken stupor when he gave the speech. Of course Pakatan supporters men and ladies are having spasmic orgasm just gleefully commenting on Zaid's words of drunken wisdom. Its so pathetic.
Zaid do not speak if you drink, if you drink do not drive.

Let's all have the Parliamentarians to become "Razaleigh-friendly"
written by MalaysianForever, March 19, 2009
written by MalaysianForever, March 19, 2009
We have heard of assemblymen using a party ticket, then quiting that party to become independents and become UMNO-friendly.
By the same token, can we all PR parliamentarian to become Razaleigh-friendly? Since he is in UMNO/BN, then all BN parliamentarian, with the exception of the Najib-friendly ones, support Razaleigh to be the Malaysian 6th PM.

End of Road for Najib
written by K Das, March 19, 2009
written by K Das, March 19, 2009
Najib probably knows himself that he carries a baggage with a time bomb in it. He has assiduously avoided the prospect of being subjected to interlocution and rigorous cross examination should matters involving the allegations be allowed to come before a parliamentary sitting or a court of law. Over the next few days and more the public opposition against him becoming the PM is going to gain more ground and reach a crescendo. I am afraid this is the end of the road for Najib. The only way he can occupy the PM’s seat is for him to be reborn as a bug. Better leave gracefully before a bigger calamity confronts you.

Give Najib a chance
written by ah boy, March 19, 2009
written by ah boy, March 19, 2009
I have known DS Najib since he was a Defence Minister, he is a capable leader, I never seen a leader like Najib who will stop to greet even poor estate workers and have pep-talk with them whenever he attends any events, I have been assigned to many of his official functions, he will never ignore a layman regardless of someone's race or creed, I have witnessed some racist leaders who will not even get close to people other than their own ethnic group, give Najib a chance and I am sure he would bring paradigm change to our nation, he has his own vision and a wise man, don't let the Mongolian saga which might not have link to him directly, from bring the change that Malaysians are longing for...P.S: R.Hussin stop linking Zaid to Kugan and Kulim, you must be another racist, you have insinuated victims of brutality

Musa Safri; No-confidence Vote; A Snap General Election
written by Ari, March 19, 2009
written by Ari, March 19, 2009
Totally agree with one of the blog commentators : Why is Musa Safri walking free? Why is not indicted? Why is he not charged? Why is he not remanded? What kind of prosecution is this?
Has the office of the PM or DPM become an absolutely powerful office? Even above the law? Who allowed that? The "PM" and "DPM" are kings now? And the heads of government departments, agencies, authorities, and federal commissions and other bodies, now the Kings' men? Who is to stop the "kings" if they become absolutely corrupt and despotic? Is this what UMNO has bequeathed us from Mr Mahathir's time?
If anything, these speaks more eloquently and loudly than anything else could for the "Time to Change!". In other words, replace the UMNO-BN with Pakatan Rakyat government.
If only there could be a vote of No-Confidence triggering the fall of UMNO-BN, engendering thereby a dissolution of Parliament and a Snap Election!

Hahaha.. Look the the Pro PR comments here.. Now everyone supports the Yang DiPertuan Agung.. just like they used to support Perak's Regent and the Sultan. What happened when the Perak Royalty did not act according to their narrow minded wishes in Perak? I dread to think what will be their comments when the Yang DiPertuan Agung defies their wishes and appoints DS Najib acording to the Law and Constitution just like in Perak.

Badawi might have failed in a lot of aspects, but until today he is the undisputed Prime Minister, who can rescue the nation from going down the drain. Badawi should remain as PM, he should seek a vote of confidence in the Parliament. I am sure that he will be able to command the majority support of the MPs.
