Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah’s Saturday dose of bullshit
The Third Force
Last Saturday, Tengku Tan Sri Razaleigh Hamzah hammered in the usual drivel about him not supporting Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad’s perception play against Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak. The choice of Razaleigh’s words was different, but was of a tone and regular – he wanted no part in the feud and preferred to stand by the wayside.
I have but one word for Razaleigh, and it goes like this – bullshit. And I’ll say it again – bullshit.
Bear in mind now, this is the guy who once stood in line with Mahathir against Najib when it appeared that the PM’s July arrest was a set deal. But as soon as he realised there wasn’t a role for him to play in the post-Najib cabinet, the Kelantan prince turned teary eyed and ran all the way to Najib’s camp. There, he told them about a rabbit hole he saw and how deep it went.
As the story goes, both Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail were found to have plotted against Najib and were removed from their respective posts – Muhyiddin as deputy PM and Gani as Attorney General. Put differently, Najib’s men went to the rabbit hole and found two rabbits and gave them a hell of a spanking. That means, Muhyiddin now has a sore arse.
But that’s not the end.
Some time between the 21st and the 26th of March, DAP Supremo Uno Lim Kit Siang met the doctor – Dr. Mahathir – to cure a pain that was hurting his own arse. And that pain was the result of the Taman Manggis controversy that is now swirling around his son. The doctor informed Kit Siang that he would cure the pain on condition that the Lims agreed for Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali to be made opposition leader in their joint battle against the PM.
Naturally, the senior Lim stood nodding with approval. Soon after, Mahathir is believed to have instructed Tan Sri Abu Kassim to find a way to liberate Lim Guan Eng – Kit Siang’s son – from the barnacles of corruption. So while Kit Siang still has a sore arse, it isn’t as sore now as it was before the 21st of March 2016.
Some time around then, also, the Kelantan prince, who of late has been sharing a bed with Kit Siang and has been supportive of DAP’s efforts to blacken Najib’s name, agreed to work with the sore-arsed Lim and Mahathir upon hearing that new plans were afoot to topple the PM. Further to that, Razaleigh had once confided in his aide that he didn’t mind being PM in the event that Najib was successfully swept out from office.
In short, not only does Razaleigh, a sore arse himself, want to be PM, he isn’t quite as dispassionate as he claims to be – he desperately wants Najib toppled and is most certainly in camp Mahathir, one way or the other. And that concludes my story of the three sore arses – Muhyiddin, Razaleigh and Kit Siang – each hoping that the moon would one day fall down from the sky and drop on Najib’s head.
And should Razaleigh find any of what I have exposed about him to be untrue, he should come forward and prove me wrong so that we can let all hell break loose and let everyone know what the Kelantan prince is made of.
