Did Mahathir tell Hadi about Muhyiddin’s affair?
A divorce case that implicates Muhyiddin in an affair with Nika Gee Siew Yee, someone’s wife, is going to court on 20th June 2016. What is going to be revealed is the RM20,000 a month that Muhyiddin is paying this woman plus the RM5 million she was paid in Singapore. Mahathir knows about this but is keeping very quiet because it is going to be game over for the ANC if this story explodes.
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
The leader of the ANC (Anti-Najib Campaign) and the de facto leader of the DAP-led Collaboration of Hope a.k.a. Pakatan Harapan, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, is grumbling about the PAS President, Abdul Hadi Awang. Mahathir said he met Hadi three months ago to personally inform him in great detail the story of the wrongdoing of Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.
One of Najib’s alleged wrongdoing is he is acting as a foreign agent, the country which Mahathir will not name but which everyone knows means Singapore (because Mahathir already mentioned this in mid-2013 — that Najib is being blackmailed by Singapore for reasons that the old man is not clear about).
Mahathir is upset that after that full briefing three months ago Hadi still refuses to join the ANC and help oust Najib from office. Mahathir says it is probably because Najib bought off Hadi (makan dedak or ‘eat chicken feed’, as Mahathir puts it). What Mahathir does not realise is that the reason Hadi refuses to join the ANC is because the PAS President does not trust the old man.
Hadi already knows about the story of 1MDB and about, kononnya, RM42 billion or maybe even RM50 billon disappearing into thin air and all that nonsense, which has now been proven utter lies. In fact, the whole country has heard of that story plus about the 1.2 million fraudulent signatures on the so-called Kit Siang-Mahathir petition a.k.a. the Citizens’ Declaration.
What Hadi wants Mahathir to tell him, which the old man did not, is about a divorce case that is going to court on 20th June 2016 — two days after the two by-elections in Kuala Kangsar and Sungai Besar — which involves the old man’s running-mate, Muhyiddin Yassin.
Muhyiddin has been having a long-term affair with Nika Gee Siew Yee, the wife of…well, most lawyers would probably know who the husband is. Not only is Muhyiddin’s wife aware of this affair but many of Muhyiddin’s staff in the Ministry that he used to head do as well.
It is not clear how much of these details are going to come out this 20th June — such as Muhyiddin has been paying Nika RM20,000 a month for quite some time now and recently he paid her RM5 million in Singapore.
Muhyiddin also helped Nika win the Kampong Pandan Sports Complex project that she was lobbying for, of course as an agent of the tendering company — and Mahathir is fully aware of this as well. In fact, Mahathir is also aware that the affair between Muhyiddin and Nika has been going on for some time since the time he was still in the Agriculture Ministry.
Mahathir made a lot of effort to talk to Hadi panjang-lebar about Najib’s alleged misdeeds — which he could not prove and, in fact, some have been disproven. But Mahathir did not mention anything about his partner Muhyiddin’s many misdeeds, one of them being this affair with another person’s wife that is going to explode in court on 20th June 2016.
Mahathir has the gall to accuse Hadi of makan dedak just because Hadi refused to join the ANC and help topple Najib. Is Mahathir really interested in the truth? If the truth is all that Mahathir seeks, as he says he does, then why hide the truth regarding Muhyiddin? And when we wrote those two earlier stories (Muhyiddin bogged down by personal scandals and Why is Muhyiddin so quiet regarding the allegation of an affair?) neither Muhyiddin or his wife came out to deny the story.
The truth is, that is if you really want to know the truth, Mahathir was hoping that Najib could have been toppled in July last year and once that happens Muhyiddin takes over as Acting Prime Minister and appoints Mukhriz as the new Deputy Prime Minister.
Then, just about a year in office, Muhyiddin would have to resign because of this scandal involving an affair with someone’s wife. Once Muhyiddin resigns in disgrace then Mukhriz would have ‘no choice’ but to take over as the Acting Prime Minister until 2018 when he can be confirmed as Prime Minister once he wins the Umno Presidency (and as the Prime Minister your chances of winning the Umno Presidency are pretty good).
But Najib did not fall in July 2015 as planned. Muhyiddin, however, is going to face a scandal this month on the 20th as expected. So come 20th June 2016 the whole world is going to know about Muhyiddin’s scandal and there will not be a hole big enough for Muhyiddin to crawl into.
And what was that again? Ah, yes, now I remember…game over!
