Nazri Balas Dendam Terhadap Ambiga

“Dia itu bukan sesiapa pun. Tidak ada ‘locus standi’...",
ujar Nazri Aziz.

BARU sahaja selepas menegaskan bahawa MENTERI KABINET dan keluarga mereka mengisytiharkan harta seperti yang dicadangkan oleh SPRM, Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Nazri Aziz telah melakukan tindakan bodoh dengan memberi amaran kepada Bersih supaya tidak mengulangi demonstrasi jalanan.

Perlakuan kurang ajar beliau yang menyerang Pengerusi Bersih, Ambiga Sreenevasan, sehari selepas Najib menegaskan ancaman terhadap keselamatan beliau juga menunjukkan bahawa Nazri sedang merencanakan balas dendam untuk bossnya.

Was Salleh voicing Musa’s concern?

By Luke Rintod of FMT

Umno Sabah chief Musa Aman is relying on his deputy
Salleh Keruak's strategy to contain rival Shafie Apdal.

Last weekend in Kota Belud, the so-called birth-place of Umno in Sabah, the party’s state deputy president Salleh Said Keruak gave a stinging reminder to possible party-detractors.

He said those who were contemplating ditching Umno if they are not re-nominated in the coming general election, would be ‘ignored’.

Salleh, who is a local boy, issued this warning during a special meeting with a group of Umno’s Kadazandusun leaders from Kadamaian.

Will Lajim’s exit hurt Musa?

By Luke Rintod of FMT

Rumours are that Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak has asked
Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman to step down after the
13th general election.

Sabah’s 25 parliamentary and 60 state seats have remained Umno’s ‘most trusted fixed deposit”. In the 13th general election, with uncertainty looming over peninsular politics, Sabah must be won and local Umno ‘warlords’ cannot be simply dismissed because ‘their too old”.

A case in point is Lajim Ukin, an influential warlord or ‘strongman’ as some call him from Beuafort. He’s a humble man and well liked in his constituency and unfortunately for some factions a ‘winnable’ candidate.
