Selangor under siege?
I was shock to read on Malaysiakini that Najib said that he wants Selangor back at all cost. Apparently he made such declaration during a recent UMNO meeting in Banting.
It was reported in Malaysiakini few days ago that he said, “if you want to win it, you must do what is necessary”. I did not expect the PM to confirm that there are plans to overthrow the present Selangor government which has been under tremendous pressure since PR took over the state administration.
2. There are plenty of details in the MSM and cyberspace that Selangor Government has been kept busy with “issues” since they took office. They were being attacked from the political front and at the same time being constantly being monitored under the microscope by the MACC.
3. The continuous harassment is meant to destabilize the government. It is easy for BN when the Federal agencies are under their rule and by and the partisan State Government machinery. It would make it easy for BN/UMNO to run its covert operation under such circumstances. The Selangor government is being attacked from outside as well as from within.
4. It does not take much intelligence for people to analyze information in the public domain. For example, in the latest cow head incident, everyone can see how the police had acted sluggishly and in a very biased manner. In Ampang Jaya, despite having a smaller crowd and for merely carrying candles, they get thrown into the jail immediately. The argument has always been that there no police permit is given.
5. It does not take a genius to figure out UMNO/BN strategy in trying to get back the Selangor State government. The core of their short term strategy is not about winning the heart and minds of the people in Selangor but to recapture the government through the shortest route possible. This could only happen via controlling the Selangor State Assembly.
