As the days getting nearer to the Umno General Assembly next week, Malaysians and the world community are expected to be served with an arrays of questions, actions and stories that will makes everyone stand up.
The gigantic question will be whether Abdullah Badawi will really vacate his seat as Prime Minister and if Najib Razak will be able to claim the coveted highest political seat of government.
As reported in the Malaysiakini, Zaid Ibrahim, the former de facto Law Minister who was sacked from Umno last year is now appealing to the King not to appoints Najib as PM when Abdullah steps down. With this call, it will not be surprising if Zaid's call will create a snowballing effect with more similar calls by others especially those that has an axe to grind with Najib. These people most probably will be from within and outside of Umno circles which includes Ali Rustam, the affable Umno vice president who was barred yesterday from contesting the deputy president position next week.
If the King really uses his discretion not appoint najib as PM, other that Najib who else can fit the bill to wear the PM shoes after Abdullah? Assuming there is no power play behind the scene to shoo-in Anwar Ibrahim as the next PM with the endorsement of Abdullah and Ali Rustam's block of supporters in Umno, will there be anyone else from Umno who are courages and capable enough to accept the PM position even if consented by the King.
Maybe there will be one. Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, can you please stand up? - Loka
