I'm shocked with what I read in Malaysia Today on "Abuse of power by the deputy Prime Minister". However, I have my reservations towards the allegation of SMS conversations. I simply can’t imagine a person like DPM would do all these SMSing (I could be wrong). I’d assume that Najib would be more alert than anyone in this kind of situation (whether he is involved or not). Furthermore, as Defence Minister before, he jolly well know how secured the telecommunication system (Again, I could have overestimated him). Whatever the case is, this new allegations will definitely have some bearing on Najib.
On the other hand, let’s look at the Altantuya’s murder trial which the court will decide on 31 Oct. Base on my layman understanding of the legal system, these are the likely outcomes.
1. Razak Baginda and the 2 police officers are convicted and send to the gallows.
2. Razak Baginda is acquitted and the 2 policemen receive death sentence.
3. All the 3 are freed.
I personally do not think that the outcome in 1 & 3 will ever happened. This is because in outcome 1, Najib would be seen as he can’t help his own man (so what for I work so hard for you?). Outcome 3 is a luxury and will be outrageous to all Malaysians. Outcome 2 is the most ideal to Najib although it involves some scarification.
I think March 2009 is a bit too long for Najib. From now to March 2009, there could be more explosive “evidence” coming out against him. The ball is at his court now. If he is not taking more aggressive action now, his road to the UMNO president seat will be a rocky one, or he may not even make it there. If he were to take action, the priority will be none other than killing off (em! is it too sensitive to use the word “kill”?) Anwar politically and use whatever mean to silent off the other voices, at least for any damn thing that associated with Altantuya.
