After all his efforts to subdue PM Najib
Razak to his lust and greed reached a dead end, Dr Mahathir had to
swallow the reality that this country is made up of civilized and
principled rakyat where a Prime Minister is elected and not appointed
through an election. This country prospers from the rakyat’s majority
consensus who have elected PM Najib Razak as their Prime Minister
through a democratic process and would never compromise anymore of Dr
Mahathir’s dictation.
A general election is a democratic
process that is always preferred and honored by Barisan Nasional (BN) in
leading the government since independence. Similarly, the existing
opposition parties have never failed to abide with the electoral process
in this country and so should Dr Mahathir and his anti-Najib team.
Eventually, Dr Mahathir will be
registering his new political party to join the healthy general election
process and agreed that this civilised nation would not succumb to the
idea of any coup from street demonstrations, political and media talks
or merely any baseless allegations. It seems that Dr Mahathir has no
choice but to allow a healthy democratic process to take place.
After caught in his most embarassing
attempt with the 1 million Deklarasi Rakyat’s signatures and his
collaboration with the opposition parties did not work well, Dr Mahathir
realised that he has to go solo.
Lim Kit Siang failed to convince DAP
members whereas Wan Azizah succeeded to hinder Dr Mahathir from
manipulating PKR and PAS has made themselves obvious to reject his idea
that Dr Mahathir left with no choice but to launch a new party. This is
what happens when each respective political leaders have different
objectives and strategies even though their ultimate is to go against
the ruling party.
Dr Mahathir was successful to subjugate
Pak Lah to his wishes when after a massive rally against the latter’s
leadership in Hotel Singgahsana in 2009, a week later Pak Lah stepped
down and honorably passed the baton to PM Najib. But unfortunately for
Dr Mahathir today, it has been since almost 3 years but PM Najib Razak
still remains in power. Infact, PM Najib has proven the rakyat support
for him rose in a landslide victory in both Sarawak election and the
twin by-elections for Kuala Kangsar and Sungai Besar.
Being overly confident based on his
previous unchallenging attempt to oust Mr Clean Pak Lah, Dr Mahathir was
surprised by Mr Gentleman Najib Razak that it will not be as easy as
he anticipated. This time around we can see that Dr Mahathir is going
for broke. His desperation mounted when all his resources and strategies
are thwarted and crashed.
From being the darling of both local and
foreign medias every minute, having to sleep with opposition leaders,
demonising PM Najib and his family, attempting to disunite UMNO leaders
and grassroots and last but not least, conspiring with high government
authorities, it has been years and yet produced nothing promising.
The last resort would be to face the
reality that there will be no other acceptable platform to change the
Prime Minister except through the rakyat’s consensus in the next general
election. Indeed this has proven that Dr Mahathir has failed in his
attempts with his usual autocratic style. It certainly is a victory for the majority rakyat telling Dr Mahathir that they will not
compromise with his conspiracies and learn to respect their choices.
Thanks to Malaysians for showing
Mahathir, Muhyiddin and Mukhriz that the Prime Minister is the choice of
the majority of the people and not at the instance of a former Prime
Minister Mahathir Mohamed. Thanks to the people of Malaysia too for
telling Dr Mahathir that he has no right to dictate what should and
should not be done anymore for he was given his ample time to
orchestrate Malaysia.
As dignified and a true gentleman as
their President is, BN and UMNO will face its rivals in every democracy
process through the polling box when the time comes. Dr Mahathir’s new
party is not the first to be BN’s rival but rest assured that it is
their first time to fit in the opposition pact to work alongside with
ultra-kiasu DAP and endless infighting PKR.
