‘Oh yes, Dr M, you are indeed conspiring’
An Umno site says the ex-PM is secretly plotting Najib’s ouster
(Free Malaysia Today) – An Umno website today sought to disprove former premier Mahathir Mohamad’s claim that he is not involved in a conspiracy to oust Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
In a critical review of Mahathir’s latest blog entry, an anonymous writer for MyKMU.net acknowledged that the former prime minister had been openly calling for Najib’s ouster, but argued that he was nevertheless secretly plotting to realize his objective.
The writer alleged that Mahathir was clandestinely working with several parties to find a strategy to bring about Najib’s downfall. “That’s a conspiracy,” he said.
He challenged Mahathir to deny that he had met Claire Rewcastle, the editor of Sarawak Report, which he said had been manipulating facts about 1MDB and making false accusations against Najib.
He alleged that Mahathir was working with several individuals in Malaysia in his move to oust the Prime Minister. He said these individuals included former Batu Kawan Umno vice-chairman Khairuddin Abu Hassan, former New Straits Times group editor-in-chief Kadir Jasin and the owner of The Edge publishing group, Tong Kooi Ong.
