Why I think Najib Razak is doomed
Once again God intervenes to show that Najib is NOT well received up there in Heaven. For the last one month, Najib and his moronic advisors have been saying that they will only contest in a by-election if the representative dies.

I refer to the passing of Allayarham Ismail Yaacob, 60, the PAS State Assemblyman of Manek Urai in Kuala Krai constituency. He passed away at Raja Zainab Hospital in Kota Bharu at 6am today. (http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/104855) . First of all, I would like to convey my deepest condolences to the family of Allayarham Tuan Ismail Yaacob and wish that Allah (sw) will strengthen them at this trying moment. May his soul rest in peace, Allahuma Amin.
Well, this sudden death occasions a new by-election in Manek Urai. The late Yaacob snatched the seat with a majority of 1,352 from Umno’s Zulkipli Omar who won the seat with a 53 majority vote in 2004. The strange thing is that Kuala Krai (The parliamentary seat and its 3 state assembly slots) were held by Umno prior to the March 08 watershed elections but they lost all in 2008.
PAS Treasurer Dr Mohd Hatta Ramli, an Erdoganist, defeated Umno’s Prof Datuk Dr Che Musa Che Omar with a 4,984 majority vote. In 2004, Umno won the seat through Mohammad Razali Che Mamat with 2,416 majority vote. The three state seats that fall under Kuala Krai were swept by PR parties (two for PAS and one for PKR) decapitating Umno that reigned supreme in Kuala Krai. It was total annihilation.
The late Ismail Yaacob won the Manek Urai seat with 1,352 votes snatching the seat from Zulkipli Omar. PKR’s Tuan Zamri Arif Tuan Zakaria ousted Umno’s Guchil assemblyman Dr Shamshul Ikhwan Ashaari Azmi who won the seat with 1,010 votes in 2004. Mr Zamry obtained a 1,000 majority vote against Dr Shamsul Ikhwan of Umno. The other seat, Mengkebang, was won by PAS’ Abdul Latiff Abdul Rahman with 1,903 votes ousting Umno’s Azizzuddin Hussein who won the seat in 2004 with 316 votes.
Once again God intervenes to show that Najib is NOT well received up there in Heaven. For the last one month, Najib and his moronic advisors have been saying that they will only contest in a by-election if the representative dies. Of course, this was a desperate attempt to hide their fear of losing in Penanti. Well, I’m sure Najib won’t boycott this forthcoming by-election since the “rep died” as he had requested.
When he staged the infamous Perak coup that continues to haunt the nation till today, Bukit Gantang (BG) MP Allayarham Roslan Shaharum died the next day. It wasn’t lost on Perakians that Mohd Osma Jailu, was one of the 3 stooges who aided Umno’s nefarious plan in Perak was elected from a constituency in BG. Najib lost BG by a higher margin and though Umno managed to increase its Malay vote by 4%, it lost 900 more Malay votes from Mohd Jailu’s seat.
In other words, the Malays of Changkat Jering voted for Nizar in larger numbers though Mohd Jailu (the rep) campaigned for Umno. Umno’s 4% increase therefore was purely due to their nominee who had a formidable support in Bukit Gantang and has been an insider of BG for decades more than it was Malays returning to Umno. That won’t happen again. And if you doubt it, then try in Manek Urai (that’s coming having chickened out of Penanti).
That the Heavens don’t favour Najib was also evident when the Kuala Terengganu by-election occurred. When Najib was thrashed in Permatang Pauh (PP), he prevailed upon Umno's Abdul Aziz Sheikh Fadzir of Kulim to withdraw his petition against PKR's Zulkifli Nordin of Kulim. Though Sheikh Fadzir was assured of winning the petition, Najib realized that meeting PR and Anwar in Kulim after his disastrous outing in PP may be his Waterloo. Then God intervened and we had the Kuala Terengganu by-election in the Malay heartland. Well, we know what happened in KT.
Penanti came. Umno set up Mohd Fairus and tried to use the MACC (headed by a father of an alleged sadist who trades in violent child pornography). But PKR managed the fallout extremely well. In fact, Anwar should be given credit in how he managed the Penanti crisis. It could have been fatal but he deftly managed it.
Having failed to lure Fairus to its side and embarass Anwar and PR, Najib started saying PR was forcing elected leaders out and Umno won’t contest bla bla bla. Najib’s rants were pathetic gyrations indeed.
Now, God intervenes again and occasions a by-election in another Malay heartland. And since Umno alone knows what’s best for the Malays, I’m sure Najib will contest in Manek Urai so that he can help the helpless Malays there who have “suffered” under PAS’ rule. Since Umno is “ordained” by God to represent the Malays, can we doubt that they will vote for Umno in the by-election? How can the Malays vote for “treacherous” parties like PAS and PKR? Can’t! And now we have the People’s PM to boot.
Najib my dear, Kelantan is waiting for you. You will face Tuan Guru Dato’ Nik Aziz and PR once again. The seat is 99.3% Malay; the highest in Malay concentration.
Since your spinmasters have argued that the Malays are returning to Umno, and since you refused to face Anwar in Penanti because the "rep hasn't died", you will have to face Manek Urai voters who are almost 100% Malay.
If you fail to capture it like the “weak” Badawi did in 2004, then what does that mean? It means that you are ten-folds weaker than Badawi. Oh, I forgot the wow factor, Muhyiddin Yasin, the unimaginative toad Umno talked about. I’m sure as the election machinery director, he will make sure Umno wows the Kelantanese. If he fails, then it will be an indictment on him. It will be a vindication for the man (Badawi) that he had betrayed.
Najib oh Najib, it is not only Malaysians who hate you. Even up there in Heaven, signs are being successively shown that your "record isn't clean".
