Umno will stick to its playbook of lodging police reports to tie up its political foes, this time against Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, for allegedly using the name of the King in his Sept 16 power grab two years ago.
The Selangor and FT Umno Youth has said it will make the first of a flurry of reports against Anwar for sedition this morning after party leaders left it to the police to investigate the Opposition Leader’s alleged actions revealed by Bayan Baru MP Datuk Seri Zahrain Hashim in Parliament last week.
“The police report is likely to made after the Prime Minister’s statement,” an Umno leader told The Malaysian Insider last night, referring to the Umno Youth report to be lodged today.
The leader, who asked for anonymity, was unsure how many other reports would be lodged but signalled it would follow the pattern of reports made against DAP national chairman Karpal Singh when he declared the royalty could be brought to court.
There is already a call for Anwar to be investigated under the Sedition Act for allegedly affecting public order by linking the King to his ambitious bid to capture Putrajaya after Pakatan Rakyat’s (PR) historic gains of four more states and 82 federal seats in Election 2008.
The Malaysian Insider understands that the first report will be made following statements by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his deputy, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, both Umno president and deputy president respectively, that Anwar can be hauled by the authorities over Zahrain’s claims.
The former PKR member told Parliament last week that Anwar indicated the King and armed forces chief would support his bid to be prime minister if he could show backing among enough Barisan Nasional (BN) MPs. Zahrain also named eight BN lawmakers who had agreed to jump to PR.
Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, the Home Minister and Umno vice-president, said the claims was enough for Anwar to be investigated under the Sedition Act.
It is learnt that a few non-govermental organisations have also indicated they will lodge reports against Anwar, similar to those over issues related to religion and position of the Malay Rulers.

Come on lah Barisan Najis, can't you idiots think of anything new to neutralise your political opponents?
Why do you bastards insist on diverting police resources from keeping the country safe? Aren't the police force already looking like a bunch of clowns?
For God's sake, find your fcukking balls and call for early GE 13........instead of further ruining our beloved Malaysia.

They always have this ' needing the tongkat' mentality like how they blind folded and tied Anwar before they could whack him. When UMNO had to face Anwar like a man like when minister Sabri debated Anwar on national TV, they bled and frothed through their teeth. UMNO has been using 'tongkats' like PDRM, MSMs, Special branch, AG, Judiciary, MACC and all government machineries and yet they are at a loss as how to handle Anwar. This also shows how useless this government machineries are. They are just concentrating on one man and are making blunders with their every move.

Najib thought that by shouting 1Malaysia and making some concessions to the non-Malays he can win support of the majority of the Malaysians. However, he did not foresee that UMNO was not going to give anything to the other races. They are so bankrupt of ideas that they think by pretending to defend Malay rights and Malay language, the Malays will flock to support them. The Malays have wizened up. They know that there are Malays and there are UMNOputras. Malay rights is only for UMNOputras. The UMNOputras can try all they want. They can make all reports they want. They should be happy if they can even get 50% support of the Malays. There was some support for them in GE 12 from the Chinese and Indians because there was fear of repeat of May 13. There will not be such fear in GE13.
